n celebration of the 15th anniversary of Bozeman Magazine, I thought a look at the why of our business would be appropriate. The answer can be distilled down to one word: community. When I moved to Bozeman from a small Northwest Montana community in 1995, I felt as though Bozeman was quite a bit bigger than where I had come from. As a Montana State University student, I saw MSU as a community, but also felt that it was separate from the greater Bozeman community. After my husband and I graduated from MSU in 2002, it didn’t take long for us to realize that entrepreneurship was going to be the best way to put our skills to use and create something of our own. In reality, it has never been for our own pleasure, but for the greater good. The why of the publication is simple: to put all-things-Bozeman in one place for community members to engage with one another, learn from one another, and find one another at local gatherings and events that interest them. Our events calendar has always had more than a title and location; we include a little more information in print, so that readers have enough to decide whether or not they want to engage. Online (https://bozemanmagazine.com/events/calendar), the calendar includes a long description, links, and the contact information of those hosting the event, as well as details that help readers make an informed decision about whether an event would be something they’d like to be a part of. As our community continues to grow and evolve, we intend to do the same, maintaining the flow of local information to help both longtime residents and new citizens find information and events that make them feel included in the community. We are immensely grateful to live in a town that takes community seriously, for those who continue to offer events where we can gather, for the business partnerships we have built, and for the businesses who choose Bozeman Magazine for their local advertising needs. Whether you’ve been reading every issue over the past 180 months, or this issue is your introduction to Bozeman Magazine, thank you. Enjoy! “The siren call for many entrepreneurs isn’t money, it’s freedom. The freedom to chart your own path, the freedom to build what you want with the people you love.” -- Andrew Wilkinson, Founder of MetaLab and Flow A Angie Ripple is a third-generation Montanan who balances wrangling her three children with adventures with her husband, all while living the dream. 6

LETTER TO EDITOR

LAST RESORT Marion Jackman

t’s common knowledge that Bozeman is an expensive place to live. The price of housing is steadily rising, and affordable apartments are scarce. Many are resorting to living in campers and RVs, boondocking in empty lots around Bozeman. Others, who don’t have the luxury of a camper, sleep in their cars. It’s not an easy life. It’s nerve-racking and dangerous. Oftentimes, unless you have access to a generator, you’re without electricity and running water. When you live like that, people typically react in one of two ways: They either have

empathy for your situation, or they treat you like garbage. When I was 28, I had to live like that myself. Our rent became unaffordable, so my best friend and I (we were roommates) were forced to find a different place to live. Unable to find anything in our price range, a friend sold us his RV, allowing us to make monthly payments on it while we lived in it. So I, my roommate, and our two cats moved into this old rig from the 90s. I think the worst part about living in an RV was the vulnerability, and the cold.

WHAT’S YOUR BEEF?

www.bozemanmagazine.com

WHAT’S YOUR BEEF?

When we first moved in, we had to boondock for a while before we were able to get into an RV park. Unfortunately, our generator didn’t work, which meant no electricity or water. Luckily, we had a propane stove and were able to cook food. While RV living is becoming a trend, no one talks about how scary boondocking can be. Strangers will look through your windows. We once had someone try the door handles to see if they were unlocked, and every time we left for work I worried about the RV being towed. It’s a distressing situation to be in.

WHAT’S YOUR BEEF?

WHAT’S

When we did get into the RV park, it wasn’t much safer. People got into yelling matches and drunken fist fights; the women’s public shower didn’t lock properly, and someone’s cat got stabbed to death. I mean, seriously, who does that? Surviving a Montana winter in an RV is no joke, either. The blankets on my bed would constantly freeze to the condensation on the walls, creating this sheet of ice I had to sleep next to. My clothes would also freeze to the walls in the cupboards; I had to thaw out my outfits before I could wear anything. It didn’t help that, on top of that, the park would regularly lose power in the middle of winter due to snow storms. With temperatures easily -20 and lower, having no heat was both miserable and dangerous. Thankfully, we had a ton of blankets. On nights like that, as both of us would go to bed wearing three or four layers of clothing, we’d joke about freezing to death during the night, secretly worried that we or the cats really would freeze to death. I will say that there was a unique form of community in the RV park. There were a lot of families with young children, who often played together. Every once in a while I’d help out with babysitting. During the summer, people would throw big barbecue parties and invite everyone. When I was living in an apartment, I didn’t know any of my neighbors, but at the park

S YOUR BEEF?

I knew almost everyone, and had swapped at least one or two stories with all of them. We stayed in the RV for a year, until it started to affect our mental health. So, friends offered us a safe place to stay, I got a better-paying job, and we were able to get an apartment a month before the 2020 shut down. Unfortunately, as housing prices continue to rise, I predict that this way of life will become more common. These aren’t people who have the money to invest in RV restoration, like you see on social media. These are people, families, doing their best to survive, oftentimes in decrepit rigs. Most work full time, and some are college students, because it just takes a streak of bad luck to become homeless in this town. While some might say, “just move away,” that isn’t as simple a solution as you might think. The gas alone to drive an RV is incredibly expensive, and that’s not including whatever repairs it would need to become a reliable vehicle. A lot of times, RVs are money pits that tend to trap people in their situation—a situation more people are likely to find themselves in if affordable housing continues to be unattainable.

CRAIG COLLAR

raig Collar was born and raised in Montana and graduated from Montana State University with a degree in mechanical engineering. During his childhood years in Great Falls, he was told that his first full sentence was “the wind blows hard!” Craig served in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear submarine officer, and later held a number of engineering/ management roles in industry after earning an MBA at Colorado State University. Many of Craig’s earliest memories are of exploring Yellowstone with his parents and grandparents every summer. Fishing at Slough Creek, seeing Old Faithful erupt for the first time, and watching the bears and bison left an indelible impression, and fostered a lifelong love for the Park. While his career has taken him all around the world, his heart has always remained in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. He is grateful to now reside permanently in Red Lodge, where he spends his time hiking, skiing, woodworking, and taking the occasional photograph of this beautiful area. “I find that the process of composing and making an image causes me to slow down and notice things in the landscape that I might not otherwise pick up on. Likewise, the same scene can be experienced completely differently at various times of the year, or even at different times of the day. I really enjoy returning to the same place over the years, and even throughout the year, just appreciating it in a new, different way.” Craig tries to visit the Park at

least once in each of the four seasons, and spends much of the rest of his time exploring the AbsarokaBeartooth Wilderness just beyond his backdoor. You can drop Craig a note and see more of his work on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/craigcollar_in_mt. C

HOW ACCURATE IS THE ZILLOW ZESTIMATE IN 2022? Tim Ford – Real Estate Broker

very common question in the Real Estate industry is, “How accurate is the Zillow Zestimate?” If you’re unfamiliar with Zillow, it’s one of the many websites that utilizes an MLS feed showing homes for sale. They also offer a “Zestimate,” their computerized model which generates a value for individual homes. According to Zillow, the nationwide median error rate for off market homes is 6.9%. They are also now breaking down their data state by state. For Montana, they claim that the Zestimate had a median error rate of 2.0% and was within 5% of the sold price for 80.4% of listings, and within 10% for 94.4% of listings. So, how does the Zestimate fare here in Bozeman? To find out, I looked up the actual sold price of all homes sold inside Bozeman city limits during the first four months of 2022 and compared each sale against the Zestimate for that particular home. From January 1st through May 1st, 104 single family homes sold inside Bozeman city limits. Of those homes sold, Zillow either could not find the address, or could not produce a Zestimate for 26 homes. Including those remaining 78 sales, the Zestimate inaccuracy averaged 9.84%. The median error rate was 6.81%. I’ve been tracking these numbers for some time and, for quite a few years, the accuracy was improving. Last year was the first time the inaccuracy was higher than the previous year, and that trend continued this year. In 2021, the average inaccuracy was 8.8%, compared to 4.13% in 2020. The median error rate last year was 4.8%, compared to 1.7% in 2020. In past years, the Zestimate has been split fairly equally between being too high or

June 2022

www.bozemanmagazine.com

too low. Last year, 54 out of 114, or 47% of Zestimates were lower than the actual sold price, while 60, or 53%, of the Zestimates were higher than the actual sold price. However, this year 74%, or 58 out of the 78 Zestimates were low. Bozeman’s current median sold price for homes both inside and outside city limits is $900,500. Pitting that against the average inaccuracy of 9.84% gives a potential $88,609 average difference between the Zestimate and market value. To compare it to National averages, according to Zillow, the Zestimate is within 10% of the sale price in 95.1% of sales. However, in Bozeman it was within 10% of the sold price in just 60% of the sales. Zillow states the Zestimate is within 5% of the sold price in 82.2% of sales. However, in Bozeman it hit within the 5% range for just 37% of sales. According to Zillow, the Zestimate “is not an appraisal and it should be used as a starting point. We encourage buyers, sellers and homeowners to supplement the Zestimate with other research, such as visiting the home, getting a professional appraisal of the home, or requesting a comparative market analysis (CMA) from a real estate agent.” This seems to be especially apparent in the current climate, with rapidly changing real estate pricing. I have also included recent sales data for the first four months of 2022. In addition to the 198 homes sold both inside and outside Bozeman city limits during these four months, another 107 home sales are currently under contract or pending as of the date of writing. The included data reflects sales of homes in the greater Bozeman area, including Four Corners, Gallatin Gateway, Bridger

Canyon, and Bozeman city limits. The data includes home sales reported through the local Big Sky Country MLS, and does not include private party sales, Condominiums, or Townhouses. H Tim Ford is a Realtor® with Bozeman Brokers Real Estate in Bozeman Montana. He can be contacted at 406-209-1214.

Angie Ripple

ead is not only the drink of seafaring Vikings and long-dead royalty, it is also a popular choice today in Bozeman. One of only two meaderies in the state, Valhalla Meadery [875 Bridger Drive] has been keeping this “nectar of the gods” flowing since the fall of 2018. Paired with their affordable Scandinavian fare, it is a not-to-miss stop on the Bozeman Food (and Drink) Scene. Founder and bartender Dylan Watson gives us a look at all-things Valhalla. ANGIE RIPPLE: How was Valhalla Meadery conceptualized? DYLAN WATSON: It all started with an interest in producing craft alcohol; then, that specifically was distilled into Mead. The fact that there aren’t any other Meaderies in Bozeman… there’s only one other Meadery in the state within a 300-mile radius. Also, growing up in Bozeman I realized the demand for craft alcohol is very high, and people are very willing to branch out and try new things, get out of their comfort zone. Everybody’s sort

of looking for something new and delicious. Another large factor in how we came up with the idea was [the fact that] Montana is one of the leading producers of honey. Mead has only two inputs: honey and water, and whatever yeast strain you’d like to add in there. We’ve got some of the best honey and water you can find anywhere, so it just makes sense that we would use those local inputs to produce a value-added product that would presumably be consumed by people in town, in the state, and in the immediate environment. Hopefully, one day we can expand to more of a national brand. The name Valhalla was actually the idea of one of my business partners who wanted to start a restaurant called Valhalla. He has a catering company, the Viking Chef. His name is Halden Peterson; he’s from Livingston and has been working in Bozeman for a number of years. I was working alongside Hal at his restaurant, Taco Montes, and we’d been sort of spitballing ideas around. When I brought him some mead for his birthday one year, he really liked it, so we just took it from there— what would it take to start a Meadery? We

then came up with a business plan. After that, I was just trying to find some money and, funnily enough, later that week I was on the ski lift up at Bridger with one of my good friends, Dylan McKenna, from growing up… I was telling him about the idea, and he thought it was a really great idea. The conversation went something along the lines of, “Yeah, and now I just need to find some money.” And he was like, “Well, I got some money.” That came as a total surprise, because we’ve grown up together, and it was very unexpected. So, we basically went headfirst and started making it happen; less than a year later, on October 31st 2018, we were opening our doors to Valhalla Meadery with Dylan as the mead maker. AR: Who do you go to for local honey? DW: We have sourced honey from a few locations in Montana. The majority of our honey comes from Power, Montana; it’s Smoot family honey. We also have sourced from a few continued on next page

www.bozemanmagazine.com

June 2022

Valhalla Meadery p.14 local producers in the Gallatin Valley—one that comes to mind is a company called A’s Bees. AR: What do you want people to experience when they walk through your doors? DW: I would say to have a novel experience, to have a unique and culturally significant place to eat and drink. A lot of what I like to focus on is providing excellent products, whether that be the mead or our Scandinavian-inspired cuisine, as well as excellent service, making people feel like we want them to be there. Aside from excellent drinks and service, one of my goals as a local business owner, particularly as a bar that serves food, is to provide more of a cultural venue, or cultural hub. Historically, mead has been called the drink of poetry. It definitely has a history of accentuating culture in that respect. So, providing a venue for local artists, musicians, poets, and producers of culture in our community to convey their message is pretty important. We feature numerous local artists and ceramicists, we do Open Mic once a week, we host a Jazz night, and have Celtic music every Friday. In a nutshell, we are providing quality food and drink in a culturally 16

June 2022

www.bozemanmagazine.com

significant environment. We try to provide a service to our customers, but also provide a venue for local art and culture. That is definitely my personal mission; I just want to make sure that people in my community feel like they have some sort of support that’s not just focused on what’s going to make money; it’s focused on what brings people together and brings significance into people’s lives. AR: What makes Valhalla unique in the Bozeman Food Scene? DW: I would say the theme. Our cuisine is Scandinavian-inspired; it’s contemporary Scandinavian food with a focus on being from-scratch, delicious, affordable cooking. We do happy hour from 4 - 6 pm Tuesday through Sunday, and offer food specials every day, which is really great—to make it so that everybody feels welcome in the establishment. Just with how pricing is going with food in Bozeman in general, it’s nice to have that option for our regulars, so that I can still see everybody coming in. Everybody can afford to come see us, which is nice.. I wouldn’t classify us as a full-scale restaurant—we’re a Meadery that serves food. But every day I have people tell us; “You know, this is the

best salmon chowder I’ve ever had… these are the best meatballs… I don’t even like salmon and this is awesome.” We’ve gotten a lot of really good feedback and Halden Peterson, the Viking Chef, has come up with some really innovative ideas. Our charcuterie is exceptional and super unique. I had somebody in the other day who was a chef in New York and they said that this is the best charcuterie board they’ve ever had! I was kind of surprised. It’s flattering, and providing non-pretentious, quality food is important to us. On the mead side of things, this past year we won a gold medal at the World Cup for our traditional sweet mead, so that’s pretty neat. Technically, this vintage is the best traditional sweet mead in the world for 2021. One of our most unique flavors is one that we’ve always had on the menu, the Dragon’s Blood. We make it with beets and ginger, so that’s super unique. It’s very earthy, kind of spicy, slightly sweet, but more of a dry beverage. One of my favorites right now is called the Distant Shores; we made that with honey as well as maple syrup, so it has a really nice, subtle maple nose to it, with hints of dried fruit, like fig. There’s a little bit of an acidity or tartness, almost an apple fla-

vor on the tongue, and it’s quite nice. It’s also like a semi-sweet, more off-dry beverage, so very drinkable, and quite tasty. Normally, we have 13 flavors available in-house at any given time, and we try and come out with a new variety of mead once a month. AR: What would you say your regulars keep coming back for? DW: The salmon macaroni and cheese is pretty fantastic. That’s probably hands-down our most iconic dish. Swedish meatballs are often the first thing to come to mind when people think of Scandinavian food. We have just the best meatballs. People love them. AR: How about mead flavors? Is there a favorite that regulars order constantly? DW: I guess people know what’s good—the mead that just won the gold medal has been our most popular mead. We’ve had it on the menu the whole time, and it’s always the one we’re running out of first. People just love it. AR: What is your personal favorite menu item? DW: That’s a tough question. If I were to sit down at the bar and order food and a drink, I would get an order of Swedish meatballs

and a glass of The Shield Maiden, which is a dry, sparkling, traditional mead. It’s just honey and water, but instead of being on the sweeter side it’s going to be totally dry, almost like a honey champagne. It’s crisp and sparkling, roughly eight percent alcohol, and quite refreshing. Normally I’m going to have more than one of those, so I like to stick to the lower alcohol. AR: How many meatballs come in a serving? DW: So the full plate is going to be five meatballs, a side of the Nordic potato salad, rye toast and house-made pickles. For the happy hour deal we do an ala cart meatballs, which is just three meatballs, beef gravy, lingonberry jam, and a side of rye bread for six bucks. AR: Do you have anything coming up that you’d like our readers to know about? DW: Yes. We do Jazz on Tuesdays; open mic on Wednesdays with the Poetry Collective; Thursday is our bottle sale day; Fridays are Celtic music; Saturdays we have rotating live performances by local bands, and Sunday is our game day. You bring in a game and every player gets a free drink. We also have a new food truck partnership; Halden Peterson, our chef and business partner for Valhalla, owns Taco Montes, and we’ve developed a new project together [called] Taco Montes Northside, where the old Rendezvous food truck was (611 N Wallace Ave). We should have that open by June 1st and, hopefully through November, as long as the weather permits.

AR: What do you personally enjoy most about being part of the Bozeman community? DW: I would say I enjoy the fact that I have found a job where I can be having a bad day and then go to work and come home and feel like my day got better. I feel like going to work actually makes me happy, and that’s probably because on any given night I probably know the names of over half the people that come into my business; I personally make an effort to get familiar with my regulars. It’s very rare that I go into a restaurant and people know me by name, and I think that people really appreciate that. So yeah, I’d say just the familiarity with the community is what I enjoy most about being a part of it. Obviously, you don’t have to die in Viking combat to travel to Valhalla Meadery in Bozeman—you just need a sense of adventure and an open mind and palette. Cheers!

Missy Glenn

hree of the sweetest people you could ever meet have created one of the most intriguing, talent-filled, fun-to-watch Punk bands in Gallatin Valley’s music scene. Goochslam—you read that right—is comprised of Cooper Tedford on guitar and vocals, Har Larson on bass and vocals, and Luke Scheeler on the very fierce drums. Coming together in Bozeman the past couple years from different parts of the country (Luke closest to home, from Laurel; Har from Nebraska, and Cooper from the East Coast), open mic nights and band tryouts in this small, tight knit music community birthed this rowdy, yet so lovable surfer/ rock/punk band. We had the chance to sit down with them before the sound check for Twin Void Live, playing at the Filling Station with Goochslam and Conductor in April, to chat, giggle, and get a little more acquainted with this Trio of Talent, these Princes of Punk.

HAR: Cooper was drumming for me in a band that I was playing guitar in, and I said I liked Cooper’s music more than mine, in that it’s amazing anyway, and that I wanted to play his music.

these guys, I had just transitioned to bass from guitar, but I listened to a lot of jazz, actually. So I listen to a lot of stand up bassists. I play a lot of runs like that. So, I mean, there’s a lot of just, like, mocking bassists.

MG: How did you guys decide on what kind of vibe you were going to put out, or what kind of genre you were going to sound like?

MG: Have you gone out of town for any gigs?

COOP: I started listening to the Stooges and groups like that, classic along with some modern rock, and decided I wanted to just go for it.

MG: Can people book you for parties? How often do you plan on playing?

MG: So, lots of punk influences. How about you guys (Har and Luke)? What are some influences you’re drawing from when you’re playing?

MISSY GLENN: What brought you guys together?

LUKE: I like a lot of classic drummers like Ginger Baker and John Bonham. I want to try to keep things simple. I don’t usually keep them that simple, but I like to keep it punchy. That’s kind of what I work with.

COOP: I’ve known Luke the longest!

HAR: Right around the time of getting with

COOP: You know, we mostly play at The Filler.

HAR: We’ve been playing a lot here (the Filling Station) because I feel like Pat [Lokken] just keeps asking us to come back. But yeah, I feel like we play two or three times a month. [At least] that’s been the norm this year. I know that we have a little trip down to Salt Lake next month. But I’m sure we’ll play a couple times before then. MG: Salt Lake? What’s that for?

GoochSlam p.20 HAR: Kind of a funny story (gestures at Coop); “you should tell.” COOP: We were playing a barbecue at the Lux. So this group of cyclists rode by and they all had, like, crazy hair. And they stopped, buying and drinking beer and listening to us; they actually camped out underneath the trees. And then they followed us on Instagram and asked us to come play a show down in Salt Lake City. They’re like— they’re anti-car. MG: And you guys had the opportunity to play for the Gallatin Underground. How did that come about? How was that? LUKE: Vince [Palafox] invited us, and we rarely say no to anything, but it was actually really great!

times—for me, at least, when we record. Like, at the end of it, we’re way better than before we started, recording to play the song over and over right. MG: Will you go to a studio or will it happen at home? LUKE: We’ll probably record it at my studio. (Luke works at Jereco Studios in Bozeman.) HAR: We’re excited for it! LUKE: It makes things a lot easier to practice, there in the studio. Easy to set up the mics and hit record. Practice and see what happens, where the music takes us. MG: Oh, and did your name come from Gooch Hill, like the road? COOP: (Laughing) Sure, sure.

HAR: I feel like we’ve played pretty good. I’d be pretty fair. All the vocals. Yeah, we kind of look back on it like, ‘whatever.’ But I had a lot of fun, too. I felt good about it. It was one of our first times being able to watch and hear back at a pretty professional quality. Before that, we had recorded ourselves with some microphones or whatever, but it was never like we seriously tried. So to have somebody seriously try to make us sound good, it was kind of cool to hear back. I feel like that was one of our first times having that happen. (Find this awesome performance on the Gallatin Underground YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/eXHc1b0VRLs)

MG: It kind of sounds a little sexual. And then there’s also, like, the spiciness of it.

MG: It’s cool to see that you guys kind of hit all different age groups, too. I feel like punk is really great for that—if you have that punk in your heart, then no matter what age you are, you’re gonna show up for some good music. Are you guys working on an album?

LUKE: I think we just started it for fun, and it’s stayed that way.

HAR: We’re gonna record some music, but we’re undetermined if we want to do that in an album format or just add some singles. I think we’re just gonna press a record and see what happens. LUKE: Figure it out later. HAR: We’ve tried a couple of times and the times that we tried were like, Yeah, we’re not gonna release this content. It hasn’t been up to our standard, but I feel like we’re ready to graduate a lot of these songs into people being able to listen to them all the time. MG: How many do you think you’ve written? COOP: Thirteen or fourteen—definitely an album’s worth. (He would know, since he writes all the songs!) LUKE: Yeah, you know, as we record, we hear things and then we make adjustments. I mean, that’s happened the last couple of

HAR: Right. COOP: (Giggling) I will clear up that. Gooch is the place between balls and butthole. HAR: When guys are slammed, it’s typically like on a skateboard or something. And you can imagine what that means. OUCH! Someone just asked me today what our plan was as a band. And my immediate response was; “we’re just having a jam, so there’s only up, and I’m just having a good time.”

MG: (Laughing hysterically) Oh, I didn’t know. HAR: People still find us on Tinder. COOP: Yeah, people can still find us on Tinder. HAR: Okay, people show up to gigs. Yes, they saw us on Tinder. COOP: And then they won’t leave us alone— like, “I showed up, somebody’s got to put out.” LUKE: Not on OnlyFans yet. G Watch for these up-and-coming, self-described DIY experimental surf rockers—not only are they a riot to hang out with, super lovey and sweet to each other and their fans, they also put on attention-demanding, gender-bending, face-melting performances! Find and follow them on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, swipe right on Tinder, and regularly see them in action at the Haufbrau and The Filling Station. People can absolutely book Goochslam for parties, events, and other venues! Find their Instagram at @ goochslam and send them a DM. Missy Glenn lives in Bozeman with her son DJ, two dogs, and her cat Ginger. She is a licensed Esthetician and Patient Care Specialist.

HAR: I happen to love you guys. We all love each other. COOP: The relationship between the three of us is really good. MG: Do you guys have other projects outside of Goochslam? COOP: Har and I are in Hot Milk and the Flower Pallets together, where I drum, and Har plays bass. That band is like instrumental rock opera. HAR: We always joked that we were gonna record a rock opera. Now it’s called Rock Lobster. MG: (I was warned that the guys might get down to their underwear during the show, which didn’t happen, but often does, from what I understand), and Cooper wanted to know if those pictures would still be ok for the article.) Any PR is good PR, is what they say. HAR: We have been running a Tinder campaign specifically for Goochslam.

BUILDING GIBSON GUITARS Kathleen Johns

ou may have bought sheet music or an instrument from Robi Johns when he worked at Music Villa in the early 1980’s. You may have taken a guitar class from him when he was an adjunct music professor at MSU/Bozeman. Maybe you saw him perform as part of the progressive rock band “In Flight” with the brothers Kohler (Lee and Rob), or you may simply know him as a familiar face around town that you can’t quite place. For over three decades Robi (sounds like “Robby”) has been busy working to conceptualize, along with a team of coworkers, some of the finest acoustic guitars ever made. Yes, for those of you who may not be aware, Bozeman has been the home of Gibson Guitar’s acoustic factory since 1989 building instruments for musical artists from all genres to include Arlo Guthrie, Pete Townshend, Billie Joe Armstrong and Bob Dylan to name just a few. Robi’s career with Gibson could easily qualify as one of the most exciting and creative jobs in today’s music industry. Let’s chat with Robi as he answers questions about the ins and outs of

his decades long career in music and what keeps him going these days. Currently not performing (his last live performance was in 2012 for a Mike Devine “Main Street Show”), a massive brain hemorrhage temporarily disabled his left hand and leg in 2012. In the ten years since Robi has spent a large amount of his time (about 20 hours a week) working on regaining his hand and leg function. This monumental focus on his healing is in alignment with his big picture belief in unlimited possibility and his overall life purpose-to demonstrate music as a positive healing force in the Universe. BOZEMAN MAGAZINE: Can you describe what your job as Senior Product Development Manager at Gibson Acoustic entails? ROBI JOHNS: Many things are part of my role in pursuit of creating a new handmade acoustic guitar that serves the Artist as well as serves the company as an exciting offering that Gibson players worldwide will love. My role has evolved over the years and I have

learned and honed it with my involvement in at least seventy-five signature guitars for artists. My involvement in these projects has grown from being just the handler of the product and selling the product to the point where I am at now in collaboratively creating the product with the artist and the guitar builders at Gibson. One of the best examples of the way my role has evolved is creating the Sheryl Crow Country Western guitar and some of her other models that followed it. Early on in my career with Gibson, which started thirty-two years ago in 1990, I was only handling the guitars for the artists as a link between Gibson’s very, very talented builders, whom I call luthiers, to work up and replicate as per the artist’s request. One of the first guitars I handled was Sheryl Crowe’s personal 1962 Gibson Country Western square-shouldered guitar. I remember I was so excited to have that guitar at my desk. To touch her guitar because she is a great artist and songwriter, I had not had that experience up to that time. It was inspiring.

BOZEMAN MAGAZINE: Can you talk a little bit about your working relationship with Sheryl Crow? ROBI JOHNS: I have had the honor to work with Sheryl on a few projects. The Sheryl Crow Southern Jumbo Supreme we created later on, around 2012, and it is representative of that shift in my career when I went from handling the guitars to actually visualizing and creating the guitars that would give the artist what I sensed they wanted from the sound and feel of the guitar. I designed a smaller version for her from another Gibson Artist’s model that Sheryl loved which was a Jackson Browne guitar. I designed Sheryl’s version smaller because I realized that she was more comfortable playing a smaller instrument with a size similar to the Country Western we had designed for her earlier. Then I took some of the elements that made the sound and dynamic range of the Jackson Browne Model so beautifully expressive and put those and other tonal elements one by one into Sheryl’s Southern Jumbo Supreme. Around 2019 I had the privilege of designing

the Sheryl Crow Country Western Supreme, a pinnacle custom shop version of Sheryl’s personally owned 1962 Country Western, the one I had squirreled away under my desk! That was in 1990. Little did I know back then that I would design the finest version of her favorite guitar 29 years later! BOZEMAN MAGAZINE: Robi-you mentioned that Sheryl Crow fell in love with the Jackson Browne guitar. How did that come about? ROBI JOHNS: Sheryl got to play one of Jackson’s Signature models at a gig where they shared the stage. She fell in love with it and contacted us. BOZEMAN MAGAZINE: The Gibson Jackson Browne Signature guitar? Can you tell us a little about the guitar, what went into creating it and what your role was? ROBI JOHNS: Yes. Jackson Browne, who is such an authentic artist and human being, had a quest in mind that I felt compelled to develop with him right to the very end. It

only took us ten years! That quest was to reproduce something magical in the Gibson sound that many connoisseurs heard with their ears and felt with their fingers but not everyone truly understood. This was the sound of the 1930’s that Gibson created, particularly reminiscent of the Roy Smeck guitars. When we were finally done creating the Jackson Browne Model after a decade of tracking down and fine tuning that magical sound into a guitar it dawned on me that we hadn’t just developed a new model but that Jackson had become a mentor to me in teaching me how to replicate something that was as elusive as it was precious. Jackson, who is so benevolent, did this for the benefit of other artists and society to be able to experience the miraculous sound and performance capability of this guitar. BOZEMAN MAGAZINE: In addition to Jackson Browne and Sheryl Crow are there any other artists in particular that you can share a little about? continued on next page www.bozemanmagazine.com

Building Gibson Guitars p.22 ROBI JOHNS: Slash has several Gibson acoustic models. Cesar Gueikian, Gibson’s Brand President, heads up the current era of Research and Development for Gibson. Cesar is our product leader and a fan of classic and hard rock so he pulled in artists like the legendary Slash of Guns N’ Roses to do a version of our J-45 model and I consulted Cesar on that project. What I was able to give to Cesar as a consultant was information on what Slash might need in an acoustic guitar based on the way he plays. I am very proud to have had that role in creating this artist’s model which has been a tremendously big seller. Orianthi, a female rock guitarist, is another artist I have had the pleasure of working with. Orianthi flew here to Bozeman so I had the chance to not only talk with her over the course of a few days but to listen and watch her play and then create a model based off of not only what I feel she needed but also create a product that would benefit the musical world. We are very proud of this one because Orianthi plays very differently from other guitarists and I believe that we created an instrument that suits her shredder’s playing style in an acoustic guitar. I was also able to incorporate some things into the visual design that are important to Orianthi such as beautiful crystals and the lotus blossom symbol. This model became the Orianthi SJ-200, which to this day is selling beautifully. We took everything we knew about performing, everything we knew about the artist and everything we knew about Gibson and put it together into a guitar that was unique for the Rock style that she plays. The creation of this guitar was a major milestone in my career

because not only did I play a stronger designer role in working with Gibson’s engineers and testing out a few things but I also feel that this guitar matured my ability to full-spectrum visualize all of the needs that the player will enjoy in a new model. The Eric Church Hummingbird Dark is another creative project that sticks out in my mind. Eric loves Hummingbirds and here I am watching this beautifully talented artist play but yet he tells me that he wants something darker, almost sinister in the character of his guitar. I thought to myself “Now how am I going to do this? How do I make a Hummingbird, which is such a distinctly beautiful instrument, take on a more sinister character?” I had an epiphany at Eric’s concert in Bozeman at the Fieldhouse. As I was watching the concert I saw a side of Eric’s onstage persona that actually had that sinister and dangerous edge to it that he wanted me to replicate in the guitar. It may have had something to do with the huge inflatable Devil dancer (nicknamed Lou C. Fer) at the back of the crowd, I don’t know, but at that moment it occurred to me that just as Eric had created a sinister alter ego persona on stage I could create an alter ego persona for his guitar. In that concert, literally, and I did not say a word and I walked out of there and went back to the office that next week , laid a piece of paper down and it was so easy. I drew out the Hummingbird that the Devil owned and sent it to Eric, not having a clue of whether or not it would work and I got a message back from Eric saying “It’s perfect, it’s perfect!” All of the previously mentioned models I worked on after my 2012 brain injury. In fact, I finished up the Bob Dylan SJ200 models just a couple of months after the injury. What

was lovely about this project was I got to be creative after such a devastating injury. At that point I could not only visualize what Dylan would like visually and audibly, I could also visualize where we could place the model in our products mix as a customized Super Jumbo. That model was one of the best selling Super Jumbo Artist models in Gibson’s history. In some ways I believe that my injury aids me in my creative work in the sense that I reach deeper into all the aspects of my ability and experiences as I heal. Since I am currently not performing live onstage, I strum, fingerpick and listen carefully to each new model and construct a performance deep in my imagination that allows my creativity to build and thrive. I constantly imagine myself performing each note of the instrument that I am creating for the artist and that is my joy. Lots of positive changes have been going on at Gibson with its new leadership including a huge Bozeman acoustic plant expansion that has doubled the size of the facility. One thing that won’t be changing anytime soon though is Robi’s presence in the company. Now that he is a “man of a certain age” Robi has been fielding the inevitable questions about when he will hang it all up……His answer? “Retirement? You gotta’ be kiddin’ me. I’m just warming up!” Q Kathleen Johns is the owner/founder of Mantra located in Bozeman, MT. Kathleen holds a degree in English Literature from MSU/Bozeman and is an avid high altitude gardener.

Else Trygstad-Burke

aison D’être Dance Project returns to the stage in Bozeman on Friday, June 10th and Saturday, June 11th with two contemporary works. The production Rachmaninov + Plutonia evolved over the course of the past three years and is a testament to the resilience and creativity of artists and performers throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The company, known for its collaborations between visual artists, musicians, dancers, choreographers, and designers, will present an immersive audience experience with a “stage-in-the-round” performance format. The first work, Rachmaninov, will feature original choreography set to some of composer Sergei Rachmaninov’s most interesting and virtuosic works. “Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini” will be performed by a live orchestra with guest pianist Alexei Ulitin and conductor Michael Sakir. Rachmaninov’s composition was inspired by virtuoso violinist Niccoló Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 for solo violin, and translates the original theme into an expansive and dramatic work for orchestra and solo piano. This musical work is often considered one of the greatest musical showstoppers of the 20th century, and features everything from hints of dance music to the vast Dies Irae found in traditional requiem masses. The company’s choreography and costume design reflects the sense of spectacle and power found in Rachmaninov’s work. The same dynamic fusion of music and choreography is also found in the shorter works being featured by the company, including the first movement of Rachmaninov’s renowned Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, a movement of the composer’s Cello Sonata in G Minor, and two Preludes. Pianist Alexei Ulitin, a native of Kyiv, Ukraine, won prizes in the 2014 Wonderlic Piano Competition and 2013 Liszt-Garrison International Piano Competition (among many other awards), and has served on the faculty of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music as well, as the Aspen and Meadowmount music festivals.

The second work, Plutonia, is a space ballet featuring a highpowered electronic score written by local composer Nina Tucciarelli. Plutonia explores themes of loneliness, exile, and inner madness through a theme of space travel. The company has been working with a professional aerialist “to take our movement into a new plane.” One of the pieces in Plutonia has a live neurofeedback element. Consisting of eight dancers wearing brain-wave sensing headsets, the piece begins with each dancer doing their own improvised movement. Slowly, two by two, the dancers join their movements to those of the “leader” and begin a contemporary dance technique called “flocking,” where all the dancers follow the leader in movement improvised on the spot. Towards the end of the piece, the dancers come together in choreographed movement, dancing in total synchronicity. With the data from the headsets projected onto screens during the piece, this live-action experiment will reveal whether the brain waves become coherent as the dancers start to move together. photo: Damsel in the Dollhouse This could have huge implications for further research on dance as a healing mechanism — how moving together can help heal divided groups and communities through shared experience. Performances take place on June 10th at 7:30 pm, and on June 11th at 6:00 pm at The Commons at Baxter and Love (1794 Baxter Lane E) in Bozeman. Abundant parking is available onsite. Audience members are requested to have their e-ticket to show for entry, or to provide their printed ticket. Tickets are available at https://www. raisondetredance.org.

Yellowstone National Park Year Round Wonderland Steve McGann

was excited when I heard that the theme of this month’s issue of Bozeman Magazine would be the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park. The first national park in the world—America’s best idea. Here was a topic I knew something about, one I could really tear into. But soon I was dazed and confused. This was like the grade school assignment “What I did on my summer vacation.” How would it be possible to narrow this topic down, to even begin to cover it? I took my first trip to Yellowstone when the Park was 90 years old. On my next visit, it was 101. Since then I have been to the Park every year—in some years dozens of times. I have camped, hiked, climbed, kayaked, canoed, fished, and skied. I have been a tourist and a worker. In my job I have driven through the Park hundreds of times in every month and season, seen every type of animal, and walked every geyser basin. I was an expert; I just needed to focus and write. Right? Oh my, no. In 60 years I had barely begun to experience all the wonders of Yellowstone. A bucket list never works for me, because each trip inspires new ones. For me, it is simply The Park. I hope to keep going there. Since so many of my trips were for work, a sales route of long loop full-day drives to several locations within the Park, I never felt that I actually belonged. Many of the people I knew in the general stores and the hotels lived there in dorms and cabins or RVs. They resided for months, the whole season. My longest stay has been a week in the backcountry

on Yellowstone Lake. Then I realized that they felt the same. From the person in Livingston who told me she had been to Yellowstone once as a kid and once as an adult, and that was enough, to someone who lived an entire lifetime in Gardiner and went every day, all of us are visitors. Yellowstone is wilderness. Millions of acres of wilderness. It consists of a high plateau 8000 feet in elevation that is virtually inaccessible for half the year. The snowplows work continuously in April and give up in November. Any day can begin and end in brilliant sunshine, with violent thunderstorms and snow on the peaks during the hours between. The developed areas of the Park seem civilized, yet they are tiny, and there are long distances to travel. We are all visitors to this wilderness wonderland, and it feels that way. This wilderness is subtle, then dramatic; commonplace, then spectacular; normal, then strange. Much of the Park is pine and fir forest, or expansive grassy meadows with creeks and rivers winding about. But driving through this regular Rocky Mountain scenery, you suddenly come upon the shore of the highest, largest lake in the country. Then there is one of the deepest canyons with yellow rock glowing in the sunshine. There are mysterious clouds of steam rising from unique and numerous hot springs, geysers, roaring vents, and bubbling mud pots. Around a curve in the road, there may well be a giant bison standing on the pavement, a herd of elk running, or a busy grizzly bear effortlessly turning continued on next page

Yellowstone National Park p.28 over large rocks because he can. We spend our leisure lives in a combination of watching and doing. It is possible to drive through Yellowstone Park and never leave your vehicle. There is much to see. Some people will do this and that is fine. I would not recommend it. It is not necessary for all of us to ride or hike on a long backcountry trip, but however you decide to experience the Park, take time. On one of my early work runs, I passed a tourist vehicle where I should not have. The ranger who saw me did not pull me over but followed me to my next stop. He knew that I was working and said that driving like that was a bad idea. I agreed and did not receive a ticket. That was not the best part. He told me that it was only early June and a long season was before all of us. He said to slow down and enjoy it. I never forgot that advice. Sure, I became frustrated with people who came to Yellowstone but left their brains at home, yet I always tried to enjoy the ride, the day, and yes, the privilege of being in Yellowstone. Having said that, there are around four

million visitors to Yellowstone Park each year. They all seem to be there on August 6th. Finding a place to park at Artist Point at the Canyon or a seat on a bench at Old Faithful on any summer afternoon is a challenge. Despite good intentions, a visit to the Park can become a race, a competition. My remedy for that is to find a small, lonely pullout, park, and walk off into the woods a hundred yards and sit on a rock or a stump for

ten minutes. The subtle part as opposed to the dramatic. I did this on every trip to Yellowstone. Well, of course, I didn’t, but I did it enough times that it became a habit, a good one. I thought and listened. The birds sang and so did the breeze in the tops of the pines. Last month I spent a couple of days in the Park. Call it my anniversary trip. The season was early. It was chilly and there were piles of old snow towering everywhere. There were not many people on the boardwalk for an eruption of Old Faithful and five minutes afterward there were just two of us. I strolled over to the other guy and heard him talking. Figured he was on the phone, so I walked on. He called me back and told me he was talking to a raven. He was sitting, waiting for another eruption so that he could compare them. We chatted, then he went back to the ravens. This guy needed no tips from me on how to experience Yellowstone Park. Looking back over 150 years, it is worth noting that when Yellowstone, the first National Park, was established in 1872, no one really knew what that meant. The people who had some idea what the Park should be were nowhere near the Wyoming and Montana territories where the Park was located. Those areas were not yet states and were sparsely populated. In the early years, poaching and vandalism were rampant. In 1886, the US Army took over administration of Yellowstone and kept order. The National Park Service was established in 1916. The mission statement of the Park Service says that they will preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources of the parks. It

also says that the parks are for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. At times there have been conflicts between these two objectives. The Yellowstone website has information about lodging, restaurants, service stations, and Wi-Fi. The existence of any of these things within the Park has surely impaired the natural resources to some small extent. Yet some of this is necessary for enjoyment. A balance has been found and, thanks to the dedication of the Park employees, it works. It is a really good idea when interacting with the people who work in Yellowstone while inquiring about where the bathroom is located or the time the will geyser go off, to thank them for their efforts. They will be surprised and appreciative. Years ago while on my sales route through the Park, I stopped in a pullout on the shore of Yellowstone Lake. I walked down to the beach, sat on a rock, and had lunch. I gazed across the huge lake to the peaks on the opposite shore and wondered what the hiking would be like over there. I checked the height of the waves on the lake, hoping to launch a kayak someday. I scanned the sky for storm clouds and peered down the lake into unknown coves and arms. Too soon, I packed up and resumed my drive. Later, I discovered that I had left my pocket knife on the beach after slicing an apple. The next week I went back to look for it. It was not there and has never been there since in all of the times I have stopped and walked the beach. But everything else on that lakeshore remains.

Bozeman Women

FIRST IN YELLOWSTONE M. Mark Miller

ozeman women began visiting Yellowstone Park while the ink was still drying on President Grant’s signature on the bill that created it in 1872. By then many of the men who came to Montana for the gold rush had returned to the states to retrieve their families or to find wives. These pioneer women lived near the park entrances and it would be a decade before trains would make Yellowstone accessible to tourists from distant locations. Bozeman women lived closest, so it’s not surprising that they were the first to tour Yellowstone Park. Doubtless, the first women in the upper Yellowstone were Indians who had lived there for centuries before Euro-Americans explored it. As for white women, there are no official records of their early park visits. Fortunately, Yellowstone travelers have always thought their adventures were worth saving and sharing, so they left a rich record of journals, diaries, reminiscences, and articles in newspapers and magazines. Examination of these documents reveals that white women penetrated the edges of the park by the early 1870s. One traveler described a colony of invalids at Mammoth Hot Springs in 1872. Another tells of a very ill woman brought to Mammoth on a travois to soak in the healing mineral waters. One of the women who visited Mammoth in 1872 was Emma Stone of Bozeman. She is credited with being the first woman to take a complete tour of the park. Mrs. Stone’s husband, Hiram, caught gold fever in 1849, so

he and his brother left their families and joined the California gold rush. After becoming ill in California, Hiram returned to his family and worked as a land examiner for the Illinois Central Railroad. The Stone brothers lapsed in 1862 and again left their families to join a gold rush, this time to Montana. They soon gave up prospecting and began ranching in the Gallatin Valley. Then, in 1868, the Stone brothers returned to Illinois for their wives and children. Mrs. Stone’s niece, also named Emma, wrote a reminiscence describing the two Stone families’ trip up the Missouri on the steamship, Twilight. The Stones traveled in steerage with three other families, nine adults and sixteen children crammed into a single room. One day the passengers spied Indians driving buffalo into the river and killing them. The Twilight stopped to avoid hitting carcasses and swimming buffalo. The captain ordered everyone to stay on board because the wounded animals – and Indians – could be dangerous. Where the buffalo tried to get away by climbing the riverbank, “The water was colored red from the wounds of those whose flesh had been torn by the hoofs of the larger and stronger animals as they struggled for safety,” young Emma said. Her Uncle Hiram harpooned a fat young buffalo and the party enjoyed fresh meat for dinner. In 1872, Hiram and Emma Stone and their two sons were visitcontinued on next page

Bozeman Women p.32 ing Mammoth Hot Springs when two specimen collectors, Dwight Woodruff and E.S. Topping, returned from exploring the park and announced they had discovered a new geyser basin (now called Norris Geyser Basin). Such men often hung around the hotel at Mammoth, looking for people to guide, and the Stones hired them. Because there were no roads, people had to travel on horseback along Indian trails and through timber so tall they could barely see the sky. Horses had to jump fallen logs that covered the ground. Sometimes trees were so close together that pack mules had to get on their knees to squeeze their wide loads under the lower branches. Travelers camped at major sights for days, even weeks. This not only provided an opportunity for such things as seeing many geysers play, but also gave spent horses time to graze and regain strength. Often, the animals wandered off; diaries are filled with accounts of searching for them. The Stones visited all the geyser basins, Yellowstone Lake and Falls. Topping, in his 1888 book Chronicles of the Yellowstone, said, “It was a hard trip for the lady of the party, Mrs. Stone, but she now has the satisfaction of remembering that to her belongs the honor of being the first white woman to see the beauties of the National Park. Sarah Tracy came to Montana by steamboat in 1869. The day before she arrived in Bozeman, her new husband, businessman W.H. Tracy, told her to dress nicely. As Mrs. Tracy said later, It seems that several bachelors of the town had concluded in the spring that it was not good for men to live alone, and so had started for the states in search of a better half. As this was a long and very expensive journey, the ones who had remained behind were more than anxious to see how the investment would ‘pan out.’ As Mr. Tracy was the first to arrive with his bride, a great deal of interest was displayed. When she first arrived in Bozeman, Mrs. Tracy was afraid of the Indians camped on the south side of town. She said, “They would peer in the windows if the doors were locked, or come flocking

around the door begging for biscuits, soap, clothes, everything.” She recounted this story: One day a big Indian espied a large rain umbrella that I had brought with me from the states, and at once pestered me to trade it for a buffalo robe. He was so persistent that I at last, to get rid of him, made the trade. All day long he paraded up and down the street with the umbrella raised above his head. The next day his squaw had it, but she, becoming tired of it, brought it to the door and flung it on the floor, shouting “heap of dirt, heap of dirt” in great disgust. She wanted me to trade back, but as I would not, she finally snatched the umbrella and stalked off with it. Such encounters left Mrs. Tracy with little fear of Indians. Indians stole a band of horses the day before Sarah Tracy and her companion, Sarah Graham, left Bozeman for Yellowstone Park in June of 1873. The commander at Fort Ellis didn’t want the party to leave with Indians around, but the stagecoach driver persuaded him to provide an escort. “We were soon on our way with twelve mounted soldiers following us,” Mrs. Tracy said in a reminiscence she wrote about the trip. “With their guns and knapsacks on their shoulders, and their belts filled with cartridges, they looked very warlike.” The solders escorted Sarah Tracy’s stage over Trail Creek pass to the Yellowstone River, then turned back after seeing no signs of Indians. The party then headed south to the Bottler brothers’ ranch. Diaries of early trips to Yellowstone often mention a stop at Bottlers. In 1868, Frederick and Phillip Bottler started the first permanent ranch in the Paradise Valley.9 They chose a propitious spot where springs bubbling out of the mountains joined together to form streams that could be used for irrigation. The Bottlers raised potatoes, vegetables, meat, and milk that found ready markets across the valley, where miners worked gold claims along Emigrant Creek. More important to their lasting fame, the Bottlers’ ranch was a one-day ride from Bozeman, located halfway to Mammoth Hot Springs. That made it an ideal stopping point for travelers heading to the park. The Bottlers always made visitors welcome and eventually started

a guesthouse. Besides, Fred Bottler hired out as a Yellowstone guide and was described in several diaries as “a mighty hunter.” After a night at Bottlers, the stage headed to Mammoth Hot Springs over a new road through Yankee Jim Canyon. This road was so bad that Mrs. Tracy said, “it fairly made one shudder to ride over it in a four-wheeled stage coach.” As the coach approached Mammoth, passengers got a marvelous view from the top of a hill, but the descent down the mountain required chaining the stage’s rear wheels. This “rough locking” slowed the stage by making it skid and keeping it from crowding the horses. “We drove up to the hotel with a grand flourish of the four-horse whip, bringing the landlord and the guests to the door to meet us.” This description conjures pictures of an elegant building, but the “hotel” at Mammoth then was just a 25-by-35 foot log cabin with a sod roof. Crude as it was, the hotel had hot and cold running water; a stream of 40-degree water ran on one side and of 150-degree water on the other. Mrs. Tracy and her companion, Sarah Graham, waited two days for their husbands to join them. They enjoyed fishing, climbing the terraces, two baths a day and three hearty meals. When the men arrived they all started on horseback for a tour of the Park. “We rode side saddles,” Mrs. Tracy said, “and it was quite difficult for an amateur rider to keep seated.” Their train of a saddle horse for each traveler and eight packhorses made an impressive appearance strung out on the trail. Their route frequently crossed the rushing, boulder-strewn Gardiner River, and Sarah said, I was in great fear of crossing, but as there was no alternative, I had to hold on as best I could. At first, I dismounted to walk over the bad places, but they were so frequent, I concluded to remain in my saddle. One old mountaineer remarked, “Wait until the mountains are so steep you must hold onto the horse’s ears going up, and tail going down.” And we certainly found some mountains where the saddle would slip over the back going up, and nearly over the head coming down. We made only one ride each day, as it was too much work to repack the horses. At Yellowstone Lake they found the man who had guided Emma Stone’s party, E.S. Topping, and his partner, Frank Williams. The men had recently hand sawed lumber and built a sailboat. The boat makers had announced that the first woman to visit would get the honor of naming the boat. Since Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Graham both were named Sarah, they decided to christen the boat “The Sallie.” Mrs. Tracy said that after the name was painted on the boat, “We had a fine sail across the lake and our pictures taken on board.” At Topping and Williams’ camp, the men gave the Sarahs “the honor” of making them doughnuts fried in bear grease. In her reminiscence, she said of her twelve-day trip, “The balmy breezes and mountain sunshine had done our complexions to a turn. While our clothing was little worse for wear, yet we had seen the Yellowstone National Park in its primitive beauty. And bear’s grease doughnuts had certainly agreed with us.” In 1880, Mary Wylie was a member of the first party to cross the Park from Mammoth to the Lower Geyser Basin in a wheeled conveyance. She came to Montana from Iowa in 1879 with her two children. Her husband, William Wallace Wylie, arrived in Montana the year

before to become Bozeman’s first school superintendent. Mr. Wylie came west on the new transcontinental railroad to Corinne, Utah, and then took a stagecoach 800 miles north. When the Wylies took the same trip a year later, they came north on the Utah and Northern almost to the Montana border and by stage from there. Mr. Wylie left his mark on Yellowstone Park history as a lecturer and interpreter. After his lecture tour, schoolteachers began asking him to guide them into the park. He said this activity “accidentally” launched him into the tourist business. In 1893, he founded the Wylie Permanent Camping Company, which specialized in tours of the park where guests stayed in tents left up for a full season. His moderately priced tours provided competition for the more expensive hotel tours, opening the park to middle class tourists. Wylie first visited the park in the spring of 1880. When he learned that Park Superintendent P.W. Norris was building the first road across the park and planned to have it finished by August, Wylie resolved to bring his wife to the park. He returned to Bozeman, bought a lumber wagon and rigged it with an emigrant cover. He then assembled a nine-person party that included the Wylies and three of their children, a woman friend of Mary Wylie, and three men. The party met a couple with a spring wagon at Mammoth, who went with them on their tour. This proved to be a good arrangement because the travelers often had to hitch both teams to a single wagon to get up steep hills and through rough country. Superintendent Norris’s new road was extremely rough and sometimes tree stumps were too tall to let the wagons pass. When this happened, the party had to hitch a team to the back of the wagon to pull it back so they could cut the stump lower. This made travel extremely slow so it took more than a week to travel from Mammoth to the Upper Geyser Basin. It was the first time tourists made the trip in wheeled conveyances and Wylie said this fact helped him get licenses to set up his tourist business in the park. In 1880, the Utah and Northern Railroad track penetrated the southwest border of Montana at Red Rock near Monida. The train ride there left a 100 mile stage ride over rough road to get to Virginia City and then on to the West Entrance to Yellowstone Park, but tourists began using it anyway. In 1883, the Northern Pacific reached Livingston and brought a flood of Yellowstone visitors. Never again were Bozeman women a large percentage of Wonderland tourists.

ONE FISH TWO FISH RED FISH BLUE FISH Jeff Beyl

ave you ever wondered how many trout there are in a given stretch of river? I think about this a lot. I think about it every time I stand beside or float along a river. Whether I am casting a fly or just appreciating the scenery, the thought comes to me; “Hmmm, I wonder how many… .” Of course, there are a number of trout species in a river: Rainbow Trout; Brown Trout; Cutthroat; Golden; Brook Trout; Bull Trout; Dolly Varden, and others, depending on the river. There are whitefish, and even a mixed variation called a Cut-Bow. But how many fish are there total in, say, a mile stretch? Usually, about this time, I also wonder how to find out. What do fishcounters do—put on a mask and snorkel, jump into the river and count every fish they see? Well, sometimes. I did that once. Some friends and I donned wet suits, masks and snorkels, and jumped in. We floated about two miles downriver to where another friend was waiting with hot coffee, and a car to pick us up. We were not counting the fish we saw, but we sure did see a lot of fish. I was amazed that not one fish bumped into me

as I drifted by. Montana’s Paradise Valley is an idyllic area to fly-fish and wonder about such things. The Yellowstone River flows north out of Yellowstone Park. It is flanked on the eastern side by the Absoroka (pronounced Absorka) Mountains. The setting looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. I always expect to see some Hobbits tramping around. This particular day, my buddy Vince and I were drifting the upper Yellowstone River; I was casting dryflies for native rainbow and cutthroat trout. I tend to look off into the distance—what we call ‘taking a scenery break,’ searching for Hobbits and elves, or scanning for hawks and eagles and deer alongside the river. At one point, I snagged my fly on a submerged log and lost my rig. Vince dropped the anchor and we sat back and had a cup of coffee and watched the river flow by. As we sipped our coffee, we counted several trout rising to tiny insects downriver from us. Vince tied on a size 18 Purple Haze dry fly. I held it up to the light, appreciating its delicacy and color, and thought about the rising trout, thus prompting the question: “How many trout are in this river? Say, in a mile stretch?”

“Oh, a few thousand or so, depending on the section,” Vince answered. Wow, I thought. I wonder how they figure that out. I was intrigued. So, I looked into how to estimate how many fish are in a river. And it can be a pretty complicated thing to do, full of different techniques, suppositions, fancy terminology and mathematical equations. The kind of mathematical equations that Sheldon might scribble on a chalk board in The Big Bang Theory.

Example: M/N = m/n or N = M (n+1) / (m+1) Now, you may understand what that means, but I didn’t. It is called the Lincoln- Peterson Index, and it is quite complicated. There are several ways that fish can be counted, such as pool-seining (simply counting fish as they pass through a fish ladder), via a fence or trap, or even by jumping in and keeping track of every fish you see. There is also the scary sounding electro-fishing where, in a nutshell, a

section of the river is electrically shocked; the fish are stunned and float to the surface, where they can be counted. They soon revive, shake it off and swim away, probably wondering what the heck just happened. You can read about things like population dynamics, probability sampling, abundance density distribution, and genetic data. Whoa! All I wanted to know was how many trout my fly might float over.

Here is kind of a fun exercise you can do at home to simulate how fish are counted. Go to the grocery store and buy a bag or two of edible Goldfish crackers. You know, the kind you might put in a bowl of clam chowder. But don’t eat them yet. You can eat them after the little experiment (maybe start some clam chowder heating on the stove while doing the experiment). Spread the crackers out on

the kitchen counter and count them; then, put them all into a large bowl. Reach into that bowl and scoop out a handful. Count these and put a small, black dot on each, using a magic marker (don’t eat these). Put them back into the bowl and swirl them around, thoroughly mixing them all together. Now reach in and scoop out another handful. Count these and note how many have a small, black dot on them. From this, and using funny looking math calculations like the one above, you can estimate (I know, you already know from previously counting them) how many fish crackers are in the bowl. The bowl represents the river and the Goldfish crackers represent, well, that is pretty obvious. This is a simplified exercise, of course, but it can be applied to real fish in a real river. All fishermen must wonder about this at one point or another, along with the many other things fly-fishermen wonder about. How deep are the trout? What are they eating today? Do I have any flies that match what they are eating? Where should I cast my fly? Do you think the trout know I’m hungover? What am I doing wrong? How many fish are in a river can depend on many things. What types of predators are in the area, and what are their numbers? How wide and how fast is the river? Is the river fished heavily? Is it catch and release, or are some of the fish taken home? Disease can be a big factor. Global warming can impact aquatic insect populations; hence, it can impact fish populations. This is just a small list of the many things that can affect trout populations. It is important for the Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks to know things like this. Knowing how many fish are in a given stretch of river is not going to help us catch more fish. Knowing how many trout our fly is floating over, especially if we are not catching any, is not going to help us feel any better. In fact, it might lead to more frustration. So I suggest this: wonder is a good thing, so wonder all you want, but spread your wonder a little wider. Wonder about not just the fish in the river, but about the animals around the river, the hawks and the eagles and the osprey, the deer and the antelope. Wonder about the bears and the mountain lions. Are there any elves in those mountains? Wonder about the geologic forces that shaped the river and the landscape. Wonder about man’s search for the meaning of life. Then cast your fly back onto the water. How many trout are in the river? Ask Sheldon. A Seattle-based writer, Jeff Beyl, has been published with work on fly-fishing, nature, the ocean and music. His book, A Conversation With the Earth was recently released.

THE EPIC

YELLOWSTONE FIRES OF 1988 Rick Gale

ne of my most memorable seasons in Yellowstone was in 1988. The fires of ’88 burned 1.4 million acres in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and 36% (793,880 acres) of Yellowstone National Park. These fires were the result of environmental and human factors. Yellowstone usually experiences afternoon showers three or four days each week during the summer, but in 1988 no measurable rain fell for almost three months. By the end of July, a combination of dry tinder, lightning, high winds, and the human effects of outfitters and woodcutters had caused a series of separate

June 2022

fires to join and burn out of control. There were days in the Lake Village Area when you could see fire storm clouds in every direction—pyro cumulonimbus clouds, which NASA has called the “fire-breathing dragon of clouds” for the thunderbolts they hurl at Earth. We tried our best to keep the park open, but it got to a point when there had to be intermittent road closures to keep visitors safe and allow firefighters to get through. As a law enforcement ranger, I escorted media and visitors, closed roads, and manned barricades

when the fire made a run at Canyon Village, sending flames roaring 200 feet high. One of my assignments was to brief inmate firefighters on bear safety in the backcountry—talk about deer in the headlights after hearing what could happen if they didn’t heed my bear warning! At the peak of firefighting efforts, 9,500 military and civilian firefighters were engaged, employing dozens of helicopters and more than 100 fire trucks to try to stop the blazes. Despite the largest fire-fighting effort in the history of the nation at that time, it was weather that finally contained the fires, when snow fell in September. Forest fires are scary; that’s not a secret. But with a little extra care and attention when out enjoying our national parks and forests, many are very preventable.

WHEN CAMPING, BE WARY OF YOUR CAMPFIRE Be sure to extinguish your campfire not only when you go to sleep, but also whenever you are not at your campsite. A campfire should always be monitored. Additionally, it needs to be contained. Make sure that nothing flammable is near the fire. If it’s too windy and trees are swaying, that can indicate a higher risk; you may not want to start a campfire. Be sure to obey posted signs. If you are staying at a designated campsite, read the postings as you enter. They will likely notify you of the current fire danger and whether or not campfires are allowed. Make sure that all lighters, matches, and cigarette butts are properly disposed of. Cars can start forest fires, as well. Do not park your hot car on dry grass. The heat will spread to the grass, which can unintentionally lead to brush fires.

YELLOWSTONE BUCKET-LIST DESTINATIONS Christopher Dyrland-Marquis

or 150 years, Yellowstone National Park has provided retreats for millions—to embrace the great outdoors, study the wonders of nature, and appreciate America’s hard work to preserve natural, sublime landscapes. With two million acres of wilderness, the world’s first national park hosts a plethora of sights you ought to see at least once. Continue reading to learn about the top ten bucket list locations to see this year in Yellowstone National Park!

STEAMBOAT GEYSER An unpredictable pillar of superheated steam, this thermal feature is located in the Norris Geyser Basin and boasts major eruptions that can reach over 300 feet high. The spray from its two thermal vents has helped classify the hydrothermal feature as the world’s largest active geyser, and major eruptions are said to drown out nearby conversations with noise, as well as pepper nearby vehicles with debris. With even minor eruptions commonly reaching up to 40 feet every 2-5 minutes, this landmark is an exciting option for anyone interested in seeing the power of steam up close.

BISCUIT BASIN Home to Jewel Geyser, Mustard Spring, Avoca Spring, and Sapphire Pool, this collection of hydrothermal features can be appreci44

ated from the basin’s looping boardwalk trail. Visitors can expect to be awed by geyser eruptions every 7-10 minutes, and by the variety of thermophilic microorganisms coloring the surrounding hot springs different hues of yellow, orange, brown, and green. Biscuit Basin’s Sapphire Pool is considered one of the most beautiful blue pools in the whole park!

YELLOWSTONE LAKE With a whopping 141 miles of shoreline, Yellowstone Lake exists as the largest high-elevation lake and the largest host of wild Cutthroat Trout populations in North America. The bottom of the lake is home to an abundance of submerged hydrothermal features similar to its surroundings, with geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles providing heat and nutrients for an abundance of aquatic ecosystems. However, swimming in the lake is not recommended, as average surface temperatures in the water sit at a chilly 41 degrees Fahrenheit.

WEST THUMB’S FISHING CONE Located in the West Thumb Geyser Basin next to Yellowstone Lake, the Fishing Cone has gained popularity due to its fascinating history. After a member of the Park’s 1870 Washburn Expedition accidentally lost a

trout into the hot spring, the fish was quickly boiled and cooked. Once discovered, the accident was reproduced by park employees, and tourists would often arrive dressed up as chefs for pictures at the geyser. Soon, the hydrothermal feature began gaining notoriety through several monikers such as “Fishpot Spring,” “Chowder Pot,” and “Fisherman’s Kettle.” Though the act of “cook-on-thehook” fishing is prohibited now, the Fishing Cone can still be visited alongside other unique thermal features within the basin.

SHEEPEATER CLIFF On the Norris-to-Mammoth section of Yellowstone’s Grand Loop Road, visitors might have the opportunity to notice black, hexagonal pillars of stone rising upwards and forming a steep drop-off. These unique structures can be found at Sheepeater Cliff, named after Eastern Shoshone Indians known as Tukudika, or “Sheep Eaters.” The formation is made from columnar basalt, which fractured into hexagonal shapes as the basalt cooled approximately 500,000 years ago. Nearby, a picnic area allows visitors to bring out their inner geologist and appreciate the natural wonders over lunch.

LAMAR RIVER TRAILHEAD Hardcore hikers will chomp at the bit to learn that a journey into the Lamar River Trailhead

Morning Glory Pool

provides access to four isolated, backcountry excursions: the Lamar River, Specimen Ridge, Cache Creek, and Miller Creek Trails. With the shortest, Miller Creek Trail, spanning an impressive 7.4 miles, visitors can expect any of the paths they choose to lead to a variety of backcountry campgrounds and beautiful surroundings. Just be aware of all wildlife regulations, as bears, wolves, elk and bison populate the area.

DRAGON’S MOUTH SPRING Affectionately referred to as “The Belcher” in the past, this acidic mud pot in Yellowstone’s Mud Volcano area greets visitors with the ominous sight of a cave that spews murky, boiling water and shoots steam from its opening. Deep within, gasses create pressure against steam and the cave walls within, creating unique noises that might convince visitors that a gigantic, unseen creature dwells inside. Be careful around any mud pots: those like Yellowstone’s Sulfur Caldron can hold boiling water with pH levels as low as 1.4—as acidic as stomach acid!

FIREHOLE RIVER SWIM AREA Surrounded by geothermal features that contribute heated water with dissolved minerals, the Firehole River flows through significant geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park.

In contrast to its name, the water is usually only a bit warmer than other rivers, and maintains consistent populations of both brown and rainbow trout. While usually closed until midsummer due to dangerous water levels and currents, visitors can occasionally take advantage of the Firehole River Swim Area to cool down and appreciate the landscape’s rugged beauty. Be sure to check the swimming area’s closure status before you pack those swimming trunks.

NATURAL BRIDGE TRAIL

Geyser Basin boasts one of the most striking exhibits for visitors to enjoy. With (relatively) cooler temperatures for thermophilic (heatloving) microbes to thrive in, this hydrothermal feature takes on a yellow and green hue that provides stark contrast against its surroundings. While average temperatures within Morning Glory Pool have begun to cool, altering its coloration, the exhibit remains one of Yellowstone National Park’s most vibrant and iconic sites.

Usually closed until the beginning of June to allow resident bears the opportunity to feed on spawning trout, this hike takes adventurers on a 2.5 mile excursion to witness a 51-foot-tall cliff of rhyolite that has been carved away by Bridge Creek to form a natural bridge. While the bridge itself is closed off from traffic to protect both the fragile landmark (and visitors), hikers can enjoy some marvelous scenery and a bit of exercise at the same time. Make sure the trail is open before you go, but be sure not to pass up this hiking opportunity if you have the chance.

Scores of remarkable, almost unbelievable natural processes exist within Yellowstone National Park, and most who visit seldom see everything through a single exploration. The vast variety of unique hydrothermal features and systems create once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for visitors to witness amazing events, forge powerful memories, and understand the importance of conserving land for future generations. With this in mind, if you find yourself heading to Yellowstone, be sure to keep these interesting bucket list items handy, and try to visit at least some of them first-hand! V
