Fishing the Gallatin Montana
As a former term-limited Montana legislator who sat as Chairman of the Fish Wildlife & Parks committee and someone who has had the privilege of growing up here in Montana catching trout for over 50 years, I thought I might share some valuable information. In 2001 I sponsored HB 292 which became law and was signed by then Governor Judy Martz. It has always been my interest in seeing more people having access to Montana’s incredible blue ribbon trout streams and rivers. That is what HB 292 did and why it was called the Fishing Access Enhancement Program.

Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (11)
Since I’d fallen asleep so late last night, I did not get up this morning until 7:45, the latest of the entire trip. I showered and then found it to be raining outside. Heading to the office, they had no breakfast, but at least they had coffee (which was a relief since there was no coffee-maker in the room). I thus finished off the last of the dry food I’d brought for Firstmeal and opted to leave a bit earlier than planned, since I only had about a five-hour drive today and I wanted to consume more fattening, horrible shite from purveyors yet untested. I seemed to have missed my chance to try Chick-Fil-A, White Castle, Church’s Chicken, or Whattaburger, but another burger franchise still awaited. In Michigan City, Indiana, to be precise.

Fly with You Again? Hahaha!
When anyone embarks on any kind of journey, there is an expectation that the plan in one's head will, for most part, be completed. This expectation should be abandoned the moment you step from the optimistic certainty of the car, into the airport building.

Angkor Wat: The City of Temples
Instilled with the architecture of days lost in the barrows of time, Angkor Wat is as entrancing as it is a mystery for anyone not accustomed to temple-scapes (the image of what feels like a mirage). If this is you, don’t fret! There are firsts for everything and trust me in saying that everyone remembers the first time they lay eyes on Angkor Wat. In Khmer (Cambodia’s main form of dialect), the name Angkor Wat stands for "The City of Temples" which, as you'll come to realise, is very apropos, in what can only be described as a must see experience for anyone visiting the city of Siem Reap in hope of something new.

72 Hours in Belgium
To celebrate finishing my studies, I decided to take the last of my student loan cash and spend it on a last-minute summer trip. My sister was studying abroad in Rotterdam so the plan was to hang out there for a few weeks, but we decided to hop on a Flixbus (an absolute godsend for any budget-minded travellers) and head on over to Belgium for a few days.

Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (10)
I rose via alarm (Did I mention that I brought my own alarm clock?) at about 7:15. I showered almost immediately so that I could grab breakfast (which was minimal but adequate) without stinking too badly and returned to my room to study my route for the day yet again. At some point someone knocked on the door and a child’s voice said, “Hi.”

Beaches, Beer and Burgers: A Weekend in Belgium
I love holidays by the sea. As well as the benefits that a good dose of sea air (and some sunshine) brings, there’s something about being by the coast that makes me feel at home and relieves the stresses and strains of the busy life I lead. There’s a trick, though, to finding a good seaside resort that isn’t overcrowded to the point of not allowing you room to move or having to face lengthy queues for food and drinks.

How I Decided to Hike the Pacific Crest Trail. Top Story - August 2017.
The first time I had ever experienced camping, I was six years old. I was with my family and we stayed at a state park somewhere below Houston, Texas. We played football, climbed trees, made s'mores, and slept in a gigantic seven person tent. In the mornings, I would steal Pop Tarts out of the trunk and drink cold Gatorade from an ice cooler. If we had to use the bathroom, no worries! The fully air-conditioned bathroom of the service center was a car ride away. That was what camping was to me, in the summer of my sixth year of existence.
