Jim Robbins To describe lonesome Virgelle, Montana, as being in the middle of nowhere is charitable. Antelope gallop across the far-flung ranches and treeless prairie, and mule and white-tail deer wander the ravines. It looks like an American Serengeti. This tiny outpost on a dirt road was founded by Virgil and Ella Blankenbaker, a couple who came west in 1912 to ranch and trade with homesteaders flocking to the state. They built a sturdy redbrick bank, post office, and mercantile, and expected the little burg to flourish. Instead, a withering drought struck, and by 1930 most of the homesteads had blown away like the wind-whipped sagebrush that was rolling down the dirt road when I visited. |

Stan Paulson Unlike Pheasants Forever or Walleyes Unlimited, we in the ATV community tend not to have the unity that you get with being united in a club or national organization. Don't get me wrong, there are these entities for us, but a lot of ATVers don't get involved in them. |

Perry Backus A new state law would target people riding off-highway vehicles on lands closed to motorized travel all year round under legislation being considered in Helena. Under the current rules, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks wardens limit their enforcement of illegal motorized travel on public lands to hunting season. HB 614 would change that. |

Tom Kruzen There is a dirge playing now for Missouri's Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The beat of the funeral drums grows louder with each passing day. Greed and ignorance are the main instruments creating an ugly cacophony that will reverberate downstream for decades. |
