The Best Kept

Secret Jerry Schuster

ne of the songs I remember from my childhood days in northeastern Montana is “Cool Water” by the Sons of the Pioneers. Yes, for you naysayers, we had radio and records back then, so get over it. Some of the lyrics of that song seem so relevant to the present discussions about water quality and quantity currently swirling around the Gallatin Valley. “All day I’ve faced the barren waste without the taste of water, cool, clear water,” or words to that effect; I can’t remember back that far. Okay, I’ve added the word “clear” for purposes of this article. Seems the burning question is, what does the future hold for Bozeman’s water supply and quality? With all these Californians and one couple from North Dakota moving into the Valley, along with us regular Montana folk who appreciate what this area has to offer in our retirement years, will there be enough cool, clear water to go around? I have been trying to get educated about Bozeman’s watershed. This consists of reading some well-researched articles about the topic. I can’t cite any science for my views, so get off your high horse. For purposes of this article I rely on my senses of smell and sight while living and hiking around here. What I’ve come up with is a theory about a major source of local watershed contamination. Problem: it involves a best kept secret. Therefore, I must advise the following before allowing you to read further. Do not allow your children or grandchildren to read the rest of this article; it might cause major nightmares or unruly behavior. Also the remainder of the article should not be read or discussed with sensitive people, persons with mood swings or low selfesteem. I do not want to be responsible for any consequences of these folks’ reading the entirety of this article. Quit reading right now. Okay, you did not follow my advice and are continuing to read. You’re on your own. You probably can’t keep a secret anyway. We will start with a brief review of the measures being taken or suggested to protect our water supply from pollution. These measures include forest management and natural infrastructure projects which we can do now. I really like the idea of those nano-microbes in the soil and plants doing most of the heavy lifting to help provide pure water. How cool, how clear,

how water! Managing our forests, avoiding wildfires (say what?) and limiting chemicals used to fight those wildfires are all part of the strategic plan. Heard there was a plan to eliminate some of the lightning strikes this summer, but believe that was in a science fiction magazine, so don’t quote me on it. If we got real serious, we would limit the number and location of all those second and third houses, cabins and the like being built in the forests, but that is probably in a far-off time. If we didn’t have to protect all those fancy structures, there would be no need to drop the chemicals. Just let the forests burn; that’s what they are supposed to do occasionally. We are constantly reminded about all the chemicals that enter the soil and water from our green lawns in Bozeman. However, our subdivision rules require green, weed-free lawns, and I am not going to go out and dig up all of those dandelions by hand. Hard on my back and knees. Sorry, it’s chemicals for now. There will also soon be a need for new concrete and metal infrastructure water treatment facilities in the Gallatin Valley; all big and expensive projects. The locals just cry each time one of these projects comes up for financing. All these accouterments (this word typically refers to accessories for clothing)just to accommodate us folks moving in on their territory. Okay, so that is a quick review of the watershed situation and pollution abatement plans as I read most of the materials on the subject. Now on to that best kept secret that no one seems to talk about. Well, here it is—DOG POOP. Yes, there are about 26,000 dogs in the Valley, and on any given day a lot of them are running around unleashed in the town and surrounding hiking trails and backcountry forests. A survey taken some years ago sponsored by The Bozeman Daily Chronicle revealed that about 90 percent of persons using city trails disregarded the “on leash” signs. Okay, I imagine with all the publicity and education on the matter, the figure is now down to a low 89.765 percent. Here it is in as plain and simple language as I can use. Your dogs can poop anywhere nature calls along the trail, road, backcountry or stream. Guess where that stuff eventually ends up? Yup, in a costly water treatment plant, where we spend a lot of money to clean up your mess. Otherwise, this polluted water would of course end up in your bathtub! In your dish and clothes washing water! In your…gulp…water glass! Oh, no, I have just reached my quota of

exclamation points (!) for the month, and will have to tone it down a bit. Anyway, back to the topic. For the most part, Bozeman dog owners are people who care for their pets and the environment. They leash their dogs and pick up after them. They dispose of the doggie bags in proper receptacles. But there are obviously a significant number who seem oblivious to the fact that their unleashed and unattended dogs can poop anywhere, and that this stuff eventually becomes part of our water quality problem. I’m not done yet. I feel the need to elaborate. Street and mountain bikers with loose dogs; sorry, you can’t ride and watch your unleashed pet. Same with trail and street joggers . Most of you can’t keep up with your unleashed dog, so it is usually way in front of you and pooping wherever. I know you plan to pick it up on your way back, but, oh gosh, where is it? Some unlucky hiker on the trail probably stepped in it. Takes a lot of time and effort to clean my hiking boots after we finish one of those hikes. Who likes to hike the trails or float the rivers while constantly bumping into, stepping on and smelling dog poop? Have you hiked the “M” trail lately? Bring a gas mask and watch where you step. I quit taking our out-of-town guests on that hike, so as to not embarrass this community. It only takes a small percentage of owners who don’t care about the rules or the reasons to pick up after their pets which allows this mess to happen. There it is folks, the best kept secret in the Gallatin Valley is out. Sorrrry! Oh well, now that it is out, let’s do something about it. It is as simple as leashing your dogs and picking up after them, then depositing the poop in proper receptacles, especially while out around Lyman Creek, Sourdough Creek and Hyalite Creek. Ahhh, water, cool, clear water. Big part of the problem can now be discussed freely since the best kept secret is out. Come on Bozeman dog owners, you can do better! I’m in trouble now, just used another exclamation point (!). Big trouble for sure. s Jerry Schuster is a “semi-retired” attorney who moved from Wolf Point to Bozeman in 2013. I enjoy reading good books, writing for work and fun, and “things Bozeman”.

Hyalite

A Peak, A Reservoir, A Creek and Above All Else a True Gem Cindy Shearer

look back at the history of our special places gives us the opportunity to engage in new ways and deepen our appreciation of those areas. The Hyalite region is a great example of how our early settlers and citizens saw the area both for its financial potential and also for its natural beauty. With its close proximity to the town of Bozeman it is easy to see the draw as a recreational area for respite and gathering. The earliest written account of the beauty of the area was from the Hayden Geological Survey team, sent to the Yellowstone region in 1871-1872. The group viewed the area from the top of one of the peaks in the Gallatin Range and noted not only the beautiful area but also the presence of Hyalite, a colorless opal. On that expedition, they also named Mount Blackmore in honor of Mary Blackmore, the wife of one of their fellow travelers, English railroad investor William Blackmore. Mary had fallen ill earlier that summer and was staying with a Bozeman family. She passed away on July 18, 1872 and William buried his wife on a knoll overlooking Bozeman. The site would become Sunset Cemetery after Blackmore purchased the property from Daniel Rouse. George W. Flanders came to the Gallatin Valley in 1868 with family sawmill experience from his growing up years in Vermont. By 1870, he was operating a sawmill in Bear Creek and supplying lumber for the expansion of Fort Ellis, east of Bozeman. By 1877, he was running out of timber but discovered Middle Creek (Hyalite Creek) was more suited to his plans. There he could use water power in his sawmill and also use the creek to float logs down to the mill at the mouth of the canyon. He built a large mill in 1878 and produced sufficient timber and shingles to prompt the opening of a lumber yard in Bozeman. When Flanders first went to Middle Creek Canyon, he had free and undisputed right to available timber, but in 1906 the United States Government laid claim to practically 10 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

all the timber in the Gallatin Reserve and a stumpage price had to be paid to the government. Additionally, the Northern Pacific Railroad started bringing in finished lumber. The Flanders Mill continued to operate until 1923 but Flanders’ greatest contribution to the future of Hyalite Canyon was the wagon trail he built. Michael Langhor was the forest supervisor in 1899 and oversaw the building of a one- room cabin which he occupied during the winter of 1900 until 1904. Langhor and his assistant Horace Cleveland were responsible for a territory that went from Rocky Creek to Sourdough, over to Hyalite and south to Squaw Creek. They were charged with naming creeks, fire patrol, and surveying the boundaries as well as ordered to clear the forest of fallen logs and undergrowth. Langhor received a salary of $60 a month but had to furnish his own food, clothes, horse and wagon. In 1890, Colonel Oliver P. Chisholm bought a home located at 319 South Willson from the Alderson family and lived there until 1911. The house is now known as the Voss Inn Bed and Breakfast. Colonel Chisholm was a wealthy miner and had discovered the beauty of the canyon in the early 1900s and returned there to build a summer cabin. The cabin was elaborate for its time and located south of the present day Hyalite Youth Camp. The Chisholm’s developed an area around the cabin for campers which was a popular location for many parties, including musicals and dancing, as a piano had been “hauled” up to the main cabin. The area became known as the Chisholm Camp. Getting to the camp was not an easy task since the road was no more than a logging road and had not been improved since the Flanders left in 1915. Bozeman resident Dr. William S. Bole was often a guest of the Chisholms and told stories of families bringing their own tents and pitching them in a semi-circle around the front of the cabin. Folks would plan to stay anywhere from two to six weeks. Dr. Bole so loved this area that his father William B. Bole, the owner of the Great Falls Tribune, purchased Section 23 from the Northern Pacific Railroad on November 2, 1923. He later passed ownership onto his son Dr. William S. and Lois Lott Bole. The Boles built a cabin at the edge of a large meadow backed up to the forest and from the large screened-in front porch one could look up the east and west forks of Middle Creek (Hyalite Creek). The cabin bore the name “Whispering Pines.” In the fall of 1927, area businessman P.C. Waite, with the support of the community, petitioned A. H. Abbott, the Supervisor of the Gallatin National Forest, to change the name of Middle Creek to Hyalite Creek, stating a number of reasons. One the mineral, Hyalite, which is found in abundance and was the factor for naming Mount Hyalite, the other the commonness of the name Middle Creek. In his petition Mr. Waite states, “One can hardly find a valley in the Western part of the United States which has not a Middle Creek. There is nothing distinctive in this name. We wish that this wonderfully beautiful canyon might have a name which is distinctive. There is probably no other Hyalite Creek in this country, and Hyalite being found here in the creek and canyon,

if named for this mineral, would be named for a distinctive feature of this area.” The community got its wish on November 7, 1928 when the U.S. Geographic Board approved the change of the name from Middle Creek to Hyalite Creek. In 1932, Tom and H.E. Murdock and O.W. Monson, all on the faculty of Montana State College, drove to Hood’s Meadow in a two-door Chevrolet. They were the first group to drive up Hyalite Canyon in a car. The next year Murdock and Monson established snow surveys in the meadow and five miles farther up the canyon. It was these surveys that provided reliable information regarding the water supply for each year. The first Boy Scout camp was held at the Chisholm Camp in the summer of 1933 and in the fall interested scout leaders and supporters set out to locate a proper place in the Hyalite area

Some fun facts about Hyalite area names... Hood’s Meadow got its name from Lloyd (Toby) Hood a fellow with a bit of a drinking habit that took up residence for an entire winter until P.C. Waite found him trapping, spent two days with him and then brought him home “without his liquor.” Lick Creek was named by George Flanders because of the deer-lick places where deer had licked the soil for alkaline on the banks of the creek. History Rock Creek is the side stream after Lick Creek and named for the rock beside the creek that is inscribed with names and dates starting with George Flanders in 1877. Mount Blackmore was named in honor of Mary Blackmore, deceased wife of William Blackmore traveling with the Hayden Geology Expedition of 1871-72. Langhor Campground was named for the Forest Service Supervisor Michael Langhor. Chisholm Campground was named for Colonel Oliver P. Chisholm, who was the area’s first “campground” creator. Flanders Lake was named in honor of sawmill owner George Flanders, and Fish Lake was originally stocked with fish from the creek by George, who carried them to the lake in a wash tub.

for a Junior Camp. The site selected faced straight south toward Hyalite Peak and was not far from the historic Chisholm camp. Dr. Boles was “encouraged” to donate approximately 5 acres to the effort and the group applied to the Forest Service for 10 acres. Both pleas were successful and what is now the Hyalite Youth Camp became a source of community cooperation and focus. An association was formed and the vision for a Community Camp for any organized and supervised youth group was put into motion. Every service organization in Bozeman, Youth Group, Lodge and Ladies Club furnished a person to serve on the Board of Directors for the camp and these people became the fund-raising team. The community was very thoroughly solicited. Dean Swingle was quoted saying, “The man who is responsible for raising more money than any one is Ray Deem. He went down Main Street and asked citizens for twenty-five or thirty dollars and 95% of the time he got it.” By spring of 1935, funds were available to start construction of the main hall/lodge. By August, the walls were up and roof in progress so that the first Boy Scout summer camp was held and the lodge was used as the mess hall. The Girl Scouts held their first camp in 1936 with over 100 girls between the ages of 10 and 15. During the summer of 1938, three sleeping cabins and one of-

ficer’s quarters were constructed and in 1941 three additional sleeping cabins were completed. Road improvements continued through the efforts of the Community Camp and Forest Service and extended two miles past Chisholm’s in 1936. All this construction had to be planned around the shores of developing a lake that would result from the proposed Hyalite Dam ultimately creating the Hyalite Reservoir. In 1936, a group of farmers from the Middle Creek area wrote to the State Water Conservation Board requesting a study for a dam on Hyalite Creek (Middle Creek) for irrigation purposes, and in 1937 the site where the dam now resides was approved. Actual construction did not start until March 1940 and due to weather, the discovery of “quick sand”, and financial issues the dam was not finished until December of 1950. Hood Meadow Ranger Station was moved and Hood’s Meadow became Hyalite Reservoir as the dam did its job and the lake filled in. The reservoir was enlarged in 1993 and is now a 206-acre lake that provides recreational and fishing opportunities. h Cindy Shearer is a volunteer at the Gallatin History Museum in Bozeman and also the Gallatin Historical Society Board President.

The Culture and History of Angling

Fishing Stories Books and Images

at Montana State University

James Thull

ove trout? Fishing? Rivers? Books? If so, then you should know about the Trout and Salmonid Collection at your Montana State University-Bozeman Library. The library started collecting materials on trout and salmon and everything related to them nearly 20 years ago, and the effort has resulted in the world’s largest collection of printed materials: world’s largest angling archival collection; a one-of-a-kind trout image database; a free annual trout lecture; and the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of angling oral histories in existence. And all of this is available for free to you!

James Thull

How it got started and why

The idea for starting a collection related to trout and salmonids belongs to a former Dean of the Library, Bruce Morton, and local angling legend Bud Lilly. In conversations, they determined that no other library was collecting on all things related to trout and salmonids and that Bozeman would be the perfect place to have a collection of materials for anglers, students, researchers, authors, and anyone who cherishes the clean, cold, and wild rivers that these species call home.

Bud Lilly

Bud, who knew basically everyone in the fly fishing community, reached out to friends and colleagues to help secure donations of money, books, and materials to seed the collection. Bud being Bud was of course successful and secured enough funding and donations to give birth to what would become the world’s premier research collection of trout and salmonid materials. He also donated his own collection of materials to the library, spent countless hours tracking down donations, helped to secure oral history interviews, and was a tireless advocate for the effort. Without him, this incredible resource would not exist. I recently spoke with Esther Lilly, Bud’s widow, and she said Bud considered the 12 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

collection the shining light of his achievements and his greatest legacy.

The Print Collection

Collecting books and printed materials is something that, believe it or not, libraries still do! The book collection is the core of MSU’s efforts and what eventually gave rise to the other aspects of preserving and disseminating information on trout and salmonids. At nearly 13,000 volumes, hundreds

of DVDs, and over 600 magazine and journal titles, it is a massive collection that represents the history, science, and culture of angling throughout human history. The collection aims to collect, preserve, and disseminate information on all aspects related to trout and salmonids. In house it is called the sixdegrees of trout and salmon. It means the library collects anything (and I mean anything) related to these species. This includes children’s books, fish-

ing regulations, guide books, maps, government information, fly tying manuals, etc. What is unique about the collection is that researchers can come in and find materials on almost anything they need information on. If they want to look at children’s books from the early 1900s they can, or poetry, or copies of the Izaak Walton’s Complete Angler from 1740 on they can do so. Since the collection focuses on trout and salmon on a global scale, it is not limited by geography or language. This means there are materials in French, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, German, Latin, Ojibwa, and a host of other languages on trout and salmonids, including guide books for you traveling anglers out there, on every continent and country where these beautiful, powerful, and often elusive fish prowl the waters. While the collection is about research and not focused on acquiring rare books, it does contain some truly rare and unique items. A few of the collection’s gems include a copy of a biography written by Izaak Walton in 1672 titled Reliquiae Wottonianae, that is also signed by Walton; a book called De Romanis Piscibus which was published in 1531 and contains the first known mention of fishing in the Americas, as there are only 12 known copies in the world it is likely the rarest book in the collection; and a copy of an animal encyclopedia published in 1657 titled Historle Naturalis with pictures of rare and unusual fish and beasts, including griffins. Donations are what keep the book and periodical collection growing, and several local celebrities have been very generous in donating their per-

sonal book collections to the library including Tom McGuane, Bear McKinney, Gregg Messel, Datus Proper and too many others to mention. So if you have some angling books, regulations, magazines, or fishing diaries laying around consider donating them to MSU to be preserved for future generations. One of the great things about donating to a public university is that if you miss your books, you can always come back and visit them!

Bobby Sighn Oral History Participant from India,

The Angling Oral History Collection

The angling oral history collections aim is to capture the culture, knowledge and history of angling in our time on a global scale. The collection was started only 3 years ago and has grown to include nearly 100 interviews with artists, government employees, scientists, fly tiers, and anglers from across the United States, Nepal, and India. Recently, the Willow Springs Foundation funded the project with a grant that will allow MSU to collect interviews in Europe, Africa, Australia, and South America, which will mean that the project will include voices from every continent where trout and salmonids exist. Currently interviews are scheduled in Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa, Slovakia, Hungary, France, Germany, Bulgaria, and Romania this summer and there will be a booth set up to gather more at the International Federation of Fly Fishers Expo this August in Livingston. The database is housed at https://www.lib. montana.edu/trout/oral-histories/ and is freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Some of the people you can see telling their

favorite fishing story, talking about the importance of native fish, their favorite flies, or famous people they have fished with (like President Jimmy Carter, former Vice President Dick Cheney, Fidel Castro and Ernest Hemingway) include Bud Lilly, Bob Jacklin, Lefty Kreh, Joan Wulff, Tom McGuane, Jeremy Wade, Keith McCafferty, John Gierach, and Craig & Jackie Mathews.

Trout Art

The Trout and Salmonid Digital Art Collection includes images of trout, salmonids, angling, and bodies of water from the 16th century to modern times. All images are freely available online and available at https://arc.lib.montana.edu/trout-art/ index.php . The library is scanning new images on a regular basis and eventually will add all artwork and photographs contained in the numerous archival collections held by MSU.

Lecture

The Trout and Salmonid lecture series is a free, annual lecture hosted by MSU library and made possible through the generous contributions of donors. Past speakers have included: Nathaniel Reed- Secretary of the Interior for Fish, Wildlife, and Parks under Presidents Nixon and Ford. Nathaniel helped write some of the most important environmental legislation ever enacted including the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Endangered Species Act. James Prosek –Author of several books including Trout of the World and Early Love and Brook Trout. James is an acclaimed artist and angler who has fished the world over. Dan Wenk-Current Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park. Dan is a lifelong angler who has worked tirelessly, and often without the gratitude he deserves, to help preserve and provide a sanctuary for our native cutthroats and grayling. continued on p 14 BozemanMagazine.com June 2017 13

Sun Sign Horoscopes June 2017 Aries: Romance still sizzles with Venus moving from your sign to warm and friendly Taurus. She also connects with your ruling planet, Mars on June 9 could have a casual relationship finding new depths. A new arrival could be arriving soon. Relax while you can.

Libra: Communications figure prominently with Mercury entering Gemini; it is time to reconnect with friends and family – especially those far away. Discussions about relationships are high on the agenda – just be careful giving advice without all the facts.

Taurus: Venus brings her warm and sensual energy to your sign on June 6. The Sun and Mercury are in Gemini bringing lots of lively energy to the mix. Things should run smoothly with unexpected happenings adding more to the fun you enjoy this month.

Scorpio: Your chances to get the attention of that special someone you have been eyeing are focused at the beginning and the end of the month. Neptune adds long distance connections to the mix for most of the month as it prepares to go retrograde.

Gemini: That period of quiet you were enjoying is sure to be over. Unexpected happenings and invitations come from unexpected sources. From June 6-8, an old lover or friend could return with a romantic proposition. New friends come from unexpected sources.

Sagittarius: With Mars, Mercury and the Sun all floating through Gemini, new interests and hobbies are likely to develop. Travel, the great teacher, is favored as is returning to school. A relationship may be ready to take to the next level near mid-month.

Cancer: The Sun, Mars and Mercury all buzz through Gemini, your twelfth house of secrets and you will want to indulge in secret communications. Just make sure you do not left a confidence slip unintentionally. Beware obsessing over finances on June 24.

Capricorn: Venus in Taurus will be sending lots of luck your way on or about June 24th; be prepared to use it to your best advantage. Until then, enjoy the financial bounty that Venus brings. Neptune, in its Storm, gives you the chance to catch up on rest.

Leo: Important invitations abound, but you may have to be choosey about which ones you honor. An important one could arrive from far away – it is worth it to give the extra effort to make it happen, someone who counts is depending on you to show.

Aquarius: New associations and friendships are in the offing under the influence of the Sun, Mercy and Mars. A misunderstanding on June25 could have you questioning the loyalty of someone close to you. Have faith in those that have kept faith with you.

Virgo: Get ready to kick up your heels and relax on June 16 when Neptune gets ready for a retrograde in Pisces. Venus in Taurus, beginning on June 6, will have you enjoying sensual pleasures. You and your sweetie will be hanging out the “do not disturb” sign.

Pisces: Mars will have you thinking about great adventures and taking some risks. Combine this with the New Moon on June 23 and you have great energy for impromptu gatherings and get togethers, some even under your own roof. Be flexible for the most fun.

THE GRAVEL BAR

Cassi Miller, photos Zach Hoffman

consider myself a unique kind of adventure-seeker. You’ll find a variety of people under the term “adventure-seeker” in these parts. Some are in it for the hikes into often untouched wilderness, some will hop on a river and float to find the end. I’m in it for the cultural experience. I love to jump in my car, crank up the music, and let the road take me down unknown paths to new small towns. For me, part of that type of adventure-seeking involves experiencing the towns at the end of the road, getting a sense of their identity, their people, and their culture. Part of that culture is bound up in their food. That might be why I enjoy writing this feature! When I plan trips to places, I look up restaurants, diners, and snack shacks, looking for a fun experience. My friends and family always crack jokes at my expense because I will research the best places to eat and drink everywhere we go. I make it my personal mission to know the most fun events and best restaurants for fueling up after fun in every place I visit. You see, every little town has those places only the locals know, those places that let you taste a bit of the town’s essence in a bite of food. Ennis is a town brimming with personality, history, and unique culture. It’s story is rooted in the gold rush of the 1860s, which drew William Ennis to the banks of the Madison River. It wasn’t long before other entrepreneurs followed, and not just the nugget-seeking kind. Ranches and farms sprung up here and there, and soon Ennis was born. Known for its prime cattle country, blue-ribbon fly fishing, and small town hospitality, Ennis has loads of little gems that really make it what it is. One of those places is The Gravel Bar. From the outside, it gives off the nostalgic sense of the watering holes of Old West Towns. The inside, oh the inside, offers so much more. The warmth of the wood interior and classic decorations instantly makes you feel welcome. If you’re 16 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

looking for filling, comforting pub food, The Gravel Bar will not disappoint. Burgers, fries, and wings are staples on the menu. If you need something spicier, try their summertime establishment, Banditos, which offers everything with a little TexMex flair. Enchilada, chipotle shrimp, or something a bit more upscale like the Carne Asada grilled Montana Waygu Flank Steak will definitely tantalize your taste buds. And, that’s not even mentioning the full bar and wide selection of beer and spirits from the locals to the big name brands. They also boast a hearty live music schedule, welcome kids and families, and have a cozy place to sit outdoors when the weather is nice. I’m not kidding when I say this place has something for everyone! Scott and Amy Kelley are the

owners of the Gravel Bar, and I was lucky enough to get the chance for Scott to answer a few of my questions about one of the most fun establishments in Ennis.

CM: What made you want to get into the restaurant and bar business? How did you get started? SK: I can’t say that I ever wanted to

get into the restaurant business. It just happened that way. In the spring of ‘99, my girlfriend (now wife) Amy opened Banditos in Virginia City. She needed somebody to work at the front of the house and I needed a job. So, that’s how I got started. I’m still in the business because I basically have no marketable skills and my wife is a badass chef. So, it makes sense.

here because they want to live here and not because they’re stuck here. Therefore, I feel the people are generally happier and more interesting here than in your average American town of 1,000. These people are my customers.

CM: Any upcoming events you want people to know about?

CM: What makes The Gravel Bar unique, in Ennis and/or in comparison with other places in SW Montana?

CM: Why Ennis? What do you love about the town? About owning a bar/restaurant there?

SK: We just try and be ourselves.

I think road trips are an important part of enjoying where you live. Everyone loves to take big extended vacations, but what about check out what lies in your own backyard or just down the road a piece? We’re lucky here in Montana to live in some prime road trip country. We’re lucky enough in the Bozeman area to only be about 50 miles from Ennis, which is perfect for an adventureseeking day trip. So, when you feel that itch to try and see something new, Ennis should be the spot you travel to. When you’re there, be sure to belly up to The Gravel Bar.

SK: From ‘99 until ‘10 we ran Banditos in Virginia City during the tourist season and then worked odd jobs throughout the winter to make ends meet. When life demanded a more steady cash flow, we naturally looked towards Ennis. The proximity to the Madison and the surrounding mountains was what made me initially fall for Ennis. My family and I spend as much time as possible on the public lands in Southwest Montana. When that’s your driver, you’re hard pressed to find a better headquarters than Ennis. Also, because of its location, Ennis attracts people from all over who live

CM: What do you want people to experience when they come into your place? SK: I want them to relax and leave with a full belly. CM: Bestselling dish and/or drink? SK: Our best sellers all come from Southwest Montana. Our burgers are our top seller because of the great beef we use. It’s Montana Waygu (which is just outside of Belgrade). We move a ton Montana beer and we have 12 on tap. Our best seller is the Midas Crush from our buddies at Map Brewing.

SK: We do live music every Saturday May-September. It’s always free and it’s always fun.

Bozeman Real Estate

The Zillow Estimate Tim Ford REALTOR®

illow is a Real Estate website with a variety of tools and information. Buyers use the website to shop homes for sale. Zillow also offers a “Zestimate” which is their computerized model that generates a home value for individual homes. Since its inception, the Zestimate has attracted a lot of attention from critics who pointed out its inaccuracies. Zillow has never stated the Zestimate is perfect, but that it is a starting point for determining value. They made some major changes to their algorithm in the past year and have stated the national inaccuracy has been reduced from 8% to 6%. So how does the Zestimate fair locally here in Bozeman? In order to find out, I took a look at 2 months of home sales in Bozeman; March & April of 2017 and compared the actual sold price to the Zestimate. During these 2 months, March & April of 2017, 133 single family homes sold in Bozeman, including areas inside and outside city limits, but not including Belgrade. Of those 133 sales, 57 were homes built in 2015 or newer, which Zillow would not yet have information for, so they were excluded. Quick side note, that is an interesting statistic on its own; Of the 133 homes sold in March & April, 57, or 43% were new construction. Of the remaining 76 homes built in 2014 or prior to, I was able to find a Zestimate for 58 of the homes. Zillow either could not find the address or compute a Zestimate for the other 18 homes. The inaccuracy of the Zestimate for those remaining 58 sales averaged 5.25%. At first glance, that doesn’t seem too bad. However, that average doesn’t take into account that sometimes the inaccuracy was high and sometimes it was low. Therefore, it could be more realistically viewed as a 10% inaccuracy. On a $400,000 home, 5.25% equates to a potential $21,000 swing in either

direction, or ranging from $379,000 to $421,000. Of the 58 Zestimates, 18 were high, and 40 were low, meaning Zillow estimated the value was higher than it actually sold for 31% of the time and lower than it actually sold for 69% of the time. 9 sales, or 16%, were more than 10% off. The worst inaccuracy was 26%. The Zestimate was spot on for 1 sale and within 1% for 10 sales, or 17% of the 58. The data shows that while the Zestimate may be accurate some of the time, its inaccurate often enough. Buyers and sellers can use it as a starting point, but additional information is needed to really narrow down a value. Buyers and sellers should also know that Montana is a non-disclosure state, therefore there is not a publicly available database that compiles all the home sales as exists in many other states. People should be very wary of any online site that claims to have this information and should always look for the best information from trusted sources when making a large purchase or selling decision. I have also included recent sales data for the first 4 months of 2017. In addition to the 251 homes sold in during these 4 months, another 238 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.

for Bozemanites Sarah Cairoli

he dog days of summer are fast approaching, and it can get hot in Bozeman. What’s a sweaty Bozemanite to do? Luckily, we are surrounded by rivers and reservoirs that offer ample opportunity to take a dip. Whether you like to fish, float, or swim, the following list will give you some options to cool off this summer.

The Bikini Hatch

If angling is not your thing, rent an inner tube and float the lower Madison River. Honestly, there is no better way to relax and cool off in the summer. Most floaters put in at the Warm Springs fishing access and float to Black’s Ford. This stretch of river becomes crowded in the summer, so you don’t stand a chance of catching any fish, but you might just catch a date. Definitely plan to catch a ride; drinking and floating is lots of fun, but makes for a dangerous ride home if you haven’t planned ahead. Because this is a popular spot, garbage has a way of building up, so help keep Montana beautiful by packing your trash out.

Hyalite Reservoir

Better known as Bozeman’s backyard playground, Hyalite Reservoir in Hyalite Canyon is a beautiful place to cool off on a sweltering summer day. Fish from the shore, splash in the shallows, or drop a canoe or kayak into this deep water to get away from it all. Stand-up paddleboards are another great way to cruise the shore of the reservoir. A word of caution: If you have two broken legs, you have no business kayaking here. My husband and I pulled someone in this situation out of Hyalite’s frigid waters just last year, and this poor person was not a happy camper. There is no cell phone reception up there, so be cautious!

Swim the Firehole

Toward the end of Firehole Canyon Drive in Yellowstone National Park (enter the park in West Yellowstone), you will find my favorite swimming hole. Despite the name of the river, the water is not hot, but it’s not exceptionally freezing either. The water is incredibly blue and pushes through a deep canyon, which makes for a unique swimming experience. You can even swim to a cave on the opposite bank! A pleasant beach lines this stretch of river, so it is easy to warm up in the sun. If you prefer warm water, try swimming in the Boiling River instead, accessible from the north entrance of the park in Gardiner.

20 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

Wade the Gallatin River

Wade this river; don’t float it. I speak from experience. One of my canoes is still at the bottom of this river somewhere (don’t tell my mom!). It is a wild river, which means that it is shallow and unpredictable, but full of fish. Bring your rod and your favorite flies. The scenery and serenity on this river are unmatched, so even if the fish aren’t biting, your day will be well spent. Some of the best points to access this river are the Cameron Bridge Fishing Access off Cameron Bridge Road and the Axtell Bridge Fishing Access off Axtell Road, just south of Four Corners.

Bozeman Hot Springs

Just south of Four Corners, on Highway 191, you will find a splendid oasis in the midst of Montana’s arid landscape – the Bozeman Hot Springs. This oasis boasts more than ten pools that range from the absolutely frigid to steaming hot and everything in between. Four outdoor pools of varying temperatures allow visitors to soak in the sun, no matter the air temperature. Live bands add to the warm summer evening ambience and food trucks pull in on occasion to satisfy that ravenous hunger that swimming seems to cause. If you love the hot springs experience, consider trying all hot springs in the area, including Chico Hot Springs south of Livingston and Fairmont Hot Springs outside of Anaconda.

Belgrade’s Splash Park

Your little tykes will love to splash around at Belgrade’s Splash Park in Lewis and Clark Park on Main Street. This adventure won’t cost you a dime, and with a playground at the park as well, you can easily spend a day here. The splash park has several different features, ranging from smaller sprinklers to big buckets that dump water on unsuspecting kids. It’s fun for all ages and it is fenced, so tired parents can relax without fearing that their kids will wander off.

Pat Hill

SUP!

Stand-up paddleboards are all the rage and can be rented from several places in town. Every Tuesday night is ladies’ SUP night at the East Gallatin Recreation Area (Bozeman Beach—another close place to swim on a hot summer’s day). The fun starts at 6:30 p.m. on June 6; if you need to rent a board, go to Roundhouse Sports at 6 p.m. to rent boards for a mere $15. Of course, you don’t have to be a lady to SUP, and you don’t have to limit your adventures to Bozeman Beach.

Hike to a Waterfall

If you don’t feel like getting soaked, seek the refreshing spray of a waterfall to cool off. Two of the area’s most beautiful waterfalls are easily accessible. A short, paved hike to Palisade Falls can be found in Hyalite Canyon (follow the signs as you drive past the reservoir). All skill levels can manage the trek to the base of the falls, and the more adventurous members of your hiking party can scramble up to the top. Ousel Falls, near Big Sky, is another favorite. A relatively short walk through a cool, mossy canyon brings you to an impressive waterfall.

Running the Mad Mile

In a boat, that is. Instead of tying on your running shoes, strap on your life vest and raft down the Gallatin River’s roaring rapids in Gallatin Canyon. Unless you are an expert, you should run this stretch of river with a guide. Several different companies take rafts out all summer long to help you have a safe thrill ride. More white water can be found on the Madison River’s Kitchen Sink, but you’ll have to run this stretch on your own as guided trips are rare here.

Float the Yellowstone River

If you don’t have a driftboat, you can rent one or relax and let a guide do the hard work while you reel in the fish. Several fly shops in Bozeman and Livingston offer guide services and more information. Canoes, kayaks, and SUPs are easy to navigate on certain stretches of the river as well. Several different shuttle services can transport your vehicle downriver for you. c Sarah Cairoli will see you on the river this summer! She can be reached at scairoli30@hotmail.com.

So You Want to Learn to Fly Fish? Kris Kumlien

figured with the beautiful summer weather we’re experiencing in Montana (after 8 plus months of winter that it seems like we just got done with) it might be nice to pen a little article for all of the residents of the Bozeman area who haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy our rivers and streams with a fly rod in hand. One of the simplest joys in life is watching a fish come and whack a fly that you threw onto the water and it is something that everyone should at least get a chance to try at one point in their life. After all, if you’re going to live in the middle of Trout Mecca then you should probably wet a line once in your life so you can at least tell people that you’ve tried it before…

HOW TO GET INTO FLY FISHING

One of the great parts of living in the Bozeman area is that there’s no shortage of programs, free classes, adult education and introduction to fly fishing seminars around the area. If you keep your eyes peeled or ask some friends who fish, they can certainly steer you in the direction of a place or person to help you get your feet wet in the world of fishing. Finding a person or program around town is going to be key for you if you want to give fishing more than a cursory try. If you want to grow into fly fishing, find a good friend (or even just a marginal friend) that’s willing to take you out and explain some of the basics to you, because no matter how many books you read, there is no substitute for the actual practicing and act of fishing. It’s like golf, if you’ve never done it, it doesn’t matter how many times you see Tiger Woods do it on TV, you aren’t going to mimic him on the course your first time out, so be patient!

PATIENCE; NOT ONLY A VIRTUE

An important thing to keep in mind as you’re setting out on your journey to discovering fishing: have a lot of patience because you aren’t going to pick it up right away. Regardless of how good of an athlete you are casting a fly rod is much different than any other activity you’ll have tried. Casting takes timing and finesse, not brute strength, which is why women often pick up the casting stroke quicker than men. If you are a self starter, then with today’s technology you can learn a lot online via YouTube video’s about the basic casting stroke. But as I said before, hands on personal one on one instruction is a lot more useful than trying to mirror some guy on a computer screen waving around what might as well be a magic wand! Casting is 22 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

RETOLD FROM SEPTEMBER 2011 something you can practice before you even get to the water, and it’s important when learning to cast to not have a fly tied on if for nothing other than safety reasons! Repetition is far more important than duration when you’re starting out, and you should really limit it to not more than an hour of practicing at a time or you’ll just end up practicing sloppy casting.

WHERE TO GO WHEN YOU START

So let’s assume for the time being that you’ve now found an introduction to fly casting through a friend or class or you’ve just watched a million videos and you’re ready to go to the water to put your casting to the test. The best place to start out fishing is some place where you are going to be able to cast easily. So don’t go to the smallest creek around the area where you can’t make a back cast without hooking a tree – find a nice wide open spot. Second, go when the weather is nice because wind isn’t your friend and it makes casting and learning extremely difficult, not what you need when you are starting out. Another thing to keep in mind is that fishing moving water like a creek or river is much more difficult than fishing in a lake or pond and introduces a lot of other variables into the learning curve. When you have to worry about what your line is doing on the water in addition to everything else, it can be difficult – so for your first time out try a lake or pond, trust me it’s easier. There are plentiful lakes and ponds around Bozeman, so pick one that you can get out to for a few hours.

WHAT TO USE WHEN YOU GO

One of the more daunting parts of learning to fly fish is learning what to use and when to use it. If you’re just starting out, don’t overburden yourself and try and learn everything all at once. Much of what is enjoyable with fly fishing is the learning about the bug life, where fish hold, what the fish are eating at what times of the year etc. and it’s a lifetime sport, so ease yourself into it. My recommendation isn’t to then flail around blindly with some flies that your great grandpa had in a box from the 1900’s, instead stop by a fly shop and consult with some local experts or ask a friend what flies you should be using before you head anywhere. Trout might have small brains, but they do have a very specific diet at times, so as long as you are heading out to the water then you should

at least have the right flies in your arsenal. If you do enjoy reading books this is the one aspect of the sport that you can learn a lot from those who have gone before you – and you don’t need a degree in Entomology, just a healthy appetite for learning. Find a book that details bugs and the flies used to represent them and then head to the river to compare notes with the book, you’ll learn a lot more if you’re looking at them on the water.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

So if you’ve managed to pick up casting, you’ve learned enough to be dangerous when it comes to picking out bugs and you’ve got a spot to head to what’s next? Well this is the best part of fishing, relax, enjoy your surroundings, and remember all of that 10’Oclock and 2’Oclock nonsense, don’t break your wrist, stop the rod on that front cast, no wait, don’t hook yourself, pull that fly out of the bushes… Deep breath, relax and really take it all in. When you’re learning to fly fish, don’t forget why you started in the first place – to chill out on a river or lake in beautiful Montana and get out of the house! Kris Kumlien is the former General Manager at Montana Troutfitters and can typically be found rambling on about anything to do with fishing.

f o r e m m u S A u M a n a t n Mo Montana Music

Pat Hill

ummer’s approach in southwest Montana and beyond brings with it the promise of live outdoor music performances, and the 2017 festival and outdoor concert season is looking promising indeed.

Freebies

Some of the best things in life are free, and that includes many of this season’s musical events. Bozeman’s own Music on Main is a mainstay of the city’s summer entertainment offerings. Kicking off in late June and running well into August, Music on Main is a weekly event that transforms downtown Bozeman into a Thursday night festival offering free live music performed by local and national acts, as well as vendors selling food, drink, and more. And up in Big Sky, Music in the Mountains provides more free Thursday night entertainment at the Town Center Park. Running from June until September, Music in the Mountains is a perfect opportunity to break out the lawn chairs and coolers, and sit back and enjoy live music with Lone Mountain looming stage left. Music in the Mountains provides a mix of both national and regional acts, and Big Sky’s Fourth of July show, this year featuring music by Bozeman’s Tiny Band, is always a hit. Over the hill, the Livingston Hoot is a shutthe-streets-down event similar to Bozeman’s Music on Main, but on a bit grander scale. The Hoot has featured artists like Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, and Roy Rogers and the Delta Rhythm Kings. Famous local artists like John Mayer and Bill Payne have performed on the Hoot stage as well. This year’s Hoot, on Aug. 3, will feature Jon Cleary, with the Quebe Sisters getting the ball rolling. Like Music on Main, the Livingston Hoot also features local vendors, and although this will only be the fourth year of the event, it has already garnered both local and state honors as one of the finest free nights out in Big Sky Country. 24 June 2017 BozemanMagazine.com

The Montana Folk Festival in Butte, taking place this year on July 7-9, is another real crowd-pleaser that’s light on the wallet. Billed as one of the largest free outdoor music festivals in the northwest, the Montana Folk Festival features multiple stages providing continuous music among the old buildings and mine headframes in uptown Butte. This festival also offers up artwork, ethnic and festival food, along with over 20 groups providing musical and cultural entertainment.

Festivals

The Treasure State is a big place, and many music festivals take place during the summer season, from Miles City to Eureka and everywhere in between. Western Montana gets an early June start on festival season on June 9-10 with the

Silver Cloud Campout and Music Festival in Haugan, Montana. Haugan is most noted for the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar, and this festival, though only in its second year, has a pretty sweet lineup this year and a promising venue to boot. The Infamous Stringdusters, the Kitchen Dwellers, the Shook Twins, and the Hawthorne Roots are among the bands bringing the tunes to the Silver Cloud stage this year. Plenty of camping both tent- and RV-style is available, and the nearby St. Regis River beckons those feeling like a swim or a stroll. This festival seems like it could provide a great start to this season for those of us in the western part of the state. The end of June brings with it the Country Jam near Sappington Bridge west of Three Forks. This three-day festival will host over a dozen bands this year, and offers onsite RV and tent camping. A few of the bands hitting the stage near the

f usic Bridge this year include Lonestar, Neal McCoy, Chris Young, Tim Montana and the Shrednecks, Morgan Miles, and the Cold Hard Cash Show. And on August 11-13, Rockin the Rivers comes to the same venue at the Bridge. Along with perennial favorites at Rockin the Rivers like Helle’s Bells, this year will also feature Blue Oyster Cult, the Greg

Kihn Band, Jack Russell’s Great White, Saliva, Black Stone Cherry, and many more. Probably the best deal going on the festival circuit in the northern Rocky Mountain region is Bozeman’s Sweet Pea Festival, which, coincidentally, officially begins the day after the Livingston Hoot. Taking place from Aug. 4-6, this festival has been bringing in some good bands the last few years, and developing a good reputation along the way. And local artists and vendors also round out the offerings at this Bozeman event. With a price of $20 for advanced sales, Sweet Pea really is a sweet deal, this year featuring The Motet and Congo Sanchez on Friday night, and Moon Taxi, Susto, Charlie Parr, Parsonsfield and Colter Wall on Saturday. Saturday will also feature a Hip-Hop dance with the Groovaloos. And on Sunday, Cloud Cult, Laura Gibson, Sam Outlaw, and The Harmaleighs will hit the stage to wrap up the week’s Sweet Pea festivities. The seventh annual Red Ants Pants Music

Pat Hill

Festival in White Sulphur Springs takes place the last weekend of July. This event has become more and more popular every year. The fun starts on Thursday night (July 27) with a free street dance in White Sulphur, and the festival proper kicks off on Friday and runs through Sunday. This year’s RAP festival features The Bellamy Brothers, Asleep at the Wheel, Lucinda Williams, and Shooter Jennings & Waymore’s Outlaws, as well as returning artists the Turnpike Troubadours and James McMurtry. Many more bands and other events celebrating farm and ranch life in Montana also take place at this festival just north of town. Mid-July brings the 13th Annual TargheeFest to the Tetons. This jewel of a festival takes place near Driggs, Idaho, at Grand Targhee Resort, and this year features Galactic, Leftover Salmon, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Suzanne Vega, Booker T’s Stax Revue, and many more. And August 11-13 brings one of the shining stars of the bluegrass touring circuit to fore with the 30th Annual Targhee Bluegrass Festival. This year’s lineup at this “Granddaddy” of bluegrass festivals in the northern Rockies is indeed stellar, with Railroad Earth, the Sam Bush Band, Greensky Bluegrass, the Del Mccoury Band, and Darrell Scott among the many other acts coming to grace the bluegrass stage. The week leading up to Targhee Bluegrass is also special, as the Targhee Music Camp takes place, featuring festival artists and others sharing their knowledge with up-and-coming bluegrass enthusiasts. Montana’s most unique music festival, The Pirate Party, has staked its claim within the national music festival circuit in 2017 with a bigger venue, bigger vision, and a lineup of internationally acclaimed musical artists to gather in the northwest this July 21st through 24th. This fourday event, taking place at the historic Lincoln’s Silver Dollar Inn in Haugan, Montana, combines live music, art, camping, workshops, and mountain activities in a pirate-y fashion fit for the high seas. Now in its 8th consecutive year, the Pirate Party has grown from its underground roots as a renegade party outside Bozeman, MT into the nationally recognized music festival it is today. The Pirate Party prides themselves on booking the best underground music of our era, and you will often see the smaller acts that play the pirate party headlining major festivals a few years later. The production is world-class, featuring state of the art sound systems by Funktion-One, Danley, and PK, and visuals by Sauce Monster, Keith Anderson, Zebbler Encanti Experience and more. The music continues till well past sunrise on 3 of the 5 stages. For the Mission Mountain Wood Bands enthusiasts around the state and beyond, the third annual Aber Day Reunion takes place on comtinued on p. 26 BozemanMagazine.com June 2017 25

Summer Music p .24 Aug 12. Held the first two years in Philipsburg, this day-long festival takes place this year on Flathead Lake at Polson. Along with the Mission Mountain Wood Band, this year’s fun will also feature Sam Riddle and His Band, along with Andrea Harsell and Luna Roja. This one’s been a barn-burner the first two years, folks...it’s the Mission Mountain Wood Band! These are just a few of the many outdoor music festivals in Big Sky Country this summer, and information on all the festivals in the northern Rocky Mountain region, from dates and times, bands, and ticket purchasing, is just a google search away.

A Promising New Venue and a Favorite Old Haunt

More and more outdoor music venues are appearing in the Treasure State and beyond, and one new venture drawing a lot of interest is the new Kettlehouse Amphitheatre in Bonner, Montana, near Missoula. Constructed on the site of an old logging mill, this venue will face the Big Blackfoot River and seat 4,000 people. Missoula’s KettleHouse Brewing Company and Nick Checota, the owner of the Wilma Theatre and the Top Hat Lounge, joined forces to construct this venue that Checota envisions as a “Gorge or a Red Rocks” with its unique setting, but tailored on a smaller scale more suitable to Missoula. But with the acts Checota is bringing to Bonner, ranging from Ween to Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Slayer, Primus, and Pat Benatar, his Kettlehouse Amphitheatre is attracting a statewide audience, and some shows have already sold out. This venue is yet another excuse to hit the road for Missoula this summer for beer and tunes. You’ll be able to double up with Big Sky Brewing Company’s summer music series presented by the Knitting Factory including the Trey Anastasio Band, Rebelution, UB40, Ben Harper, Lee Brice, The Decemberists, Michael Franti & Modest Mouse. Over at the Pine Creek Lodge in the Paradise Valley, the summer schedule looks mighty hot. Over sixty bands are scheduled to perform on Pine Creek’s outdoor stage this summer. The outdoor fun under the pines begins with a free show by Milton Menasco and the Big Fiasco on Friday June 2. Among the

Pat Hill acts to perform at this favorite little venue on the East River Road are the Red Elvises, Corb Lund, the Young Dubliners, Pinky and the Floyd, The Fossils, the Kitchen Dwellers, the Old 97s, Brad Parsons, Satsang, the Black Lillies, and many many more. Pine Creek offers a discounted summer season pass that also includes their two-day music festival in August. With their barbeques fired up offering burgers and more, and cold beer and beverages on ice as well, as well as an absolutely gorgeous setting for an evening of fun, food and music, it is really hard to beat Pine Creek. Here’s hoping everyone has a great summer on the festival circuit. It is not going to be hard to find good music under the Big Sky and beyond this season. o Pat Hill is a freelance writer in Bozeman. A native Montanan and former advisor to Montana State University’s Exponent newspaper, Pat has been writing about the history and politics of the Treasure State for nearly three decades.

Favorite Venue? I Like the TETONS Pat Hill

ith an assortment of excellent festivals during the summer in the northern Rockies, it’s hard to pick a favorite, but my favorite venue has to be on the west side of the Teton mountain range at Grand Targhee Resort. Tom Garnsey, owner of Vootie Productions in Bozeman, has been bringing the bands to this gorgeous venue at 8,000 feet for decades now. July brings TargheeFest to the Tetons, and in August, the renowned Targhee Bluegrass Festival takes place. “It’s the highlight of my summer,” enthuses Garnsey. “I love doing those festivals. And I never know how they are going to turn out. I always go in with an idea of, ‘Here’s what I want it to look like this year...and... it never looks like that.” The logistics of putting together a festival at Targhee can be daunting, for the bands as well as the producer. “Bands can do four festivals in a weekend on either coast and make five times the money,” he said. “And, flying in, say, a 14-member band to Jackson Hole in the middle of July...it’s about the most expensive place to fly on earth, it seems. And it’s not only cost-prohibitive, it’s timeprohibitive...it takes three or four days out of a band’s touring schedule to perform at a place like Targhee. It’s a hard place to come to, and people have to want to do it. And they do. That’s why you see a lot of return performers, because people want to return to this magical place.” That desire to return to the Tetons includes festival attendees and performers. “These festivals are always great, in my experience,” said Garnsey (he has produced over 30 festivals at the Grand Targhee venue). “You don’t always get who you want, stuff falls through, but it always leads to another cool little avenue. This year’s TargheeFest is a bit different for me. There’s a lot of funk

and soul, not what I’d envisioned at first, but then I step back and look at what’s come together, and say to myself, ‘Yeah, that’s gonna be great!’ Overall, I think it’s a pretty killer lineup.” “Targhee Bluegrass is a tricky one, too, because there’s only so many headliners [in that genre],” Garnsey said. “There’s not that many David Grismans or Sam Bushes. And you see those people at every bluegrass festival around the country. But they all seem to love Targhee. I look at this year’s lineup and see that 85-90 percent of those people have already played here...but they’re the best there is. And they are also the ones that helped to make the Targhee Bluegrass Festival what it is. When you look at the poster--that’s not what’s going to happen. It’s all the stuff between the cracks. Tim O’Brien slips onto the stage with Sam [Bush], for example. And around and around it goes. I just try and set the table, and let them make the dinner.” Garnsey is also very enthusiastic regarding Targhee Music Camp, which, though coinciding with Targhee Bluegrass, is really a separate event conducted during the four days leading up to the bluegrass festival. “The camp has turned into something beyond magical,” he said. “In the last four or five years, it has gone from 50 or 60 partipants to around 120 last year. The level of instruction is phenomenal. And just the vibe... it’s this culture of people sharing knowledge, learning from each other, mentoring people...it really is beautiful.” For more information on all three of these events, including lineups, tickets, camping passes and more, go to grandtarghee. com or vootie.com. “It’s not the lineup, it’s not the mountains, it’s not the people,” Garnsey said of the music being made at Grand Targhee Resort this summer. “It’s all those things. It somehow makes it way bigger than it is.” q

Mark A. Demaline

ark A. Demaline moved to Livingston, Montana in 1998 and immediately became enamored with the beautiful scenery, and bountiful wildlife of Paradise Valley and the greater Yellowstone area. Being able to capture and share this amazing part of the world is his passion, and the immeasurable beauty of this region allows him to constantly expand his portfolio, and share this extraordinary landscape in which he lives. The June cover photo is a mosaic by artist: Montana Banksy that Mark came across while cruising the banks of the Yellowstone River.
