Here goes a cool series of photos taken last evening on a Quake Lake boating excursion. The disturbances in the water’s surface are action shots of rising trout, like a fisherman’s dream.

I imagined that Obama’s Butte visit was just a couple hours long–a jet pit stop–but today I learned that he in fact stayed in Butte for 2 whole days, and during this time Davis Guggenheim, the maker of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was making a 5-10 minute documentary about Obama’s campaign using Butte as [...]
Here are a few pictures from the 4th of July Parade in Butte, Montana. Barack Obama was actually in Butte today, and it had been publicized that he would march in this parade. Can you imagine the world’s eye suddenly turned on Butte? It reminds us of a time long ago when [...]
Well, we’ve arrived at episode #20, the grand finale goal for Goatsilk’s Daily Treasure’s project. 20 days of treasure hunting, 20 rapid-fire videos with accompanying e-bay auctions. We’ve been heartened (and surprised!) at how many of Goatsilk’s Daily Treasures have sold on e-bay.
We found this severed deer leg and challenged ourselves to make it [...]
When scouring the wild land gets tiresome, we head for more urban terrain. West Yellowstone. It’s easy to find the valuable booty left behind by the millions of tourists passing through this hotspot at the edge of Yellowstone park.

Every so often, we find something that gets lost before it ever even gets used, and that’s the case with today’s find, a Verizon cell phone car charger. The packaging is sealed but weathered, indicating it’s been exposed for some time, but the charger itself appears in fine condition. This charger works with [...]
Here on Silkblog, Goatsilk likes to make you think, laugh, delight, and cry. Today’s daily treasure is somewhat of a heavy one in more ways than one. This golden bolt is solid as can be, produced in a time before steel was anodized. But we also believe this bolt to be a [...]
We live off the land, but we also live off the water! Today, our search took us to the bottom of Wade lake, where we made a strange discovery of a pair of aviator glasses lined in old masking tape. One can only imagine how these modified glasses came to rest on the [...]
