The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex covers more than 1.5 million acres. This is a Delaware-sized chunk of wild land in Western Montana home to grizzlies, eagles, mountain goats, and much, much more.
Big Salmon Lake
Protected as the crown jewel of America's National Wilderness Preservation System, "the Bob" serves as the prototype for all of the nation's 702 wilderness areas. Yet this priceless area is degrading. A recent Wilderness Watch analysis of 20 years of Forest Service monitoring data documented a chronic decline in wilderness values in the area. We will use our analysis to educate managers, interest groups, and members of Congress on conditions within the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
Our goal with this is to prevent degradation of the wilderness character of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. The management of wilderness in the Northern Rockies often sets the tone for the rest of the nation. In fact, “the Bob” is known as “the flagship wilderness” for that reason. As such, weakening wilderness standards here reverberates through the whole of the National Wilderness Preservation System.
I put you back. On my top friends. It was all just part of an ill-advised plan to seem more Canadian. They can tell I'm from the states, anyway, because I reFUSE to say Hhhhherbs and pAAAsta.
Oooohhhhh... Sorry. Gosh. Awkward. I had to make room for my new Canadian friends. You understand? Well.
So, on a different note, nice poster. Who's yer designer these days? I'm going to go ahead and offer my services long-distance and pro-bono, provided the timing works out. I feel like my creative self died when I left Montana; I'd like to resurrect her.

Well kids,
It's about time we extend a warm hand from the cold grip of the internet and finally say "howdy". We are a band comprised of filthy musicians who eat poorly, don't sleep much, and otherwise could never be caught dead hanging out with such cool people like you.
We understand that without you, the listener, we would have no canvas for which to paint our masterpiece (which we totally swear is coming... sometime) and it's going to take a whole lot more of you to get where we're going.
We're not the type of dickbags that would say "NO! Don't burn our album and give it to all your friends." We want that. The more people we have listening to us, is all the more that will come see us in concert and have a good time.
Life is short people. Let's get drunk. Let's get laid. Let's fuckin' do cool shit.
If you want to get to know us. Write us. We've got nothing better to do. We'll read it. We'll probably write back. Shit... you'll probably never get rid of us.
So, tell your friends. Look it up and hook it up. We're real people too.
hey Forward Montana,
thanks for adding us as your friend...if you like what you see visit our myspace site again where you can listen to our music, check for upcoming shows, and even get our full length cd...stay tuned...
T'anks for the opportunity to openly slam our bat-shit senator and rock out at the same time.
the hermans had a great time and let us know if there is anything else we can do.
Thanks for inviting us although I must admit I will be voting for Karl Rove, Conrad Burns, Richard Nixon, Philip Knight, Idi Amin, Attila the Hun, Zool, Sideshow Bob, Carl Rachi (the bad hockey player in "Youngblood"), Diana Ross, Destro and Jim Morrison.
Hell seems like it will be a fun place to party.
