One of my best friends, Geetika, was joining me and my family on a day trip to the one and only Lake Tahoe. We were both 12 years old and buzzing with excitement. We left Fremont early in the morning, when the sky was just beginning to light up and the air was still thick with dew, and arrived in Tahoe City around noon. It

The Peddler and the Trout In the good old horse and buggy days, Montana was full of gold, silver, copper, and coal.Mining was important and mining camps were set up in many rough and rocky places across the state. In those unkempt camps, dusty and grimy miners sank into an exhausted sleep after working hard all day long. The miners, like the camps, were untidy and had neither the time nor the interest to tidy up. The bald miners were particularly happy that they had one less task of grooming to

At the beginning of 1896, only several thousand non-Indian miners, traders and missionaries resided in the Yukon. Two years later, the territory was overrun with tens of thousands of newcomers who quickly wrought serious and far ranging changes to the land. The federal government, concerned primarily with maximizing resources extraction, did little to ensure environmental protection. Sadly, and for the

Although Liberty was technically established before Kansas City, the growth of the latter has played a significant part in Liberty's growth.

Every summer I work at the Fraternal Order of Police Youth Camp. This camp is for poor, underprivileged, and abused boys and girls in the Nashville area. I work the all-boys camp in July with twenty-five or thirty Metro Nashville Police officers. The amount of love we show to those kids is indescribable.
