Guitar aficionado check. Who knows who Pat Travers is? Better yet, who's seen him play? Pat Travers currently plays a mahogany Fender Stratocaster, specially made to his specs. I asked him what makes his guitar tone so unique. He held up his hands and wiggled his fingers. "The hands."

So You Think You’ve Seen Weird Docs?: Gary D. Rhodes on the Weirdumentary - FilmInt.nu By Roger Nygard. We yearn to know the secrets of our mind, whether its power can lead to telekinesis or precognition. We yearn to know what lies beyond, from the world of ghosts to the world of alien ...

Check out this new article in Film International, where I interviewed author Gary Rhodes about the weirdest documentaries ever made (in the 1970s - 1980s).

Local genius (and editor) Brian Jones picked up his copy of THE DOCUMENTARIAN. Send me YOUR photos too, geniuses, to receive your just rewards. Or is it just deserts?

American White Pelicans and Ring-billed Gulls show up to quickly handle all the leftovers. For them, nothing is wasted.

It’s all about the walleyes.

Did you know Lake of the Woods is the 6th largest freshwater lake in the US after the 5 Great Lakes? Located between Minnesota & Ontario, carved by the Laurentide Ice Sheet's retreat 14,000 years ago, has 15,000 islands, 1,700 sq mi, 85 miles long, and has more shoreline than Lake Superior.

Devil's Tower. You may remember it as a movie location.

Devils Tower in NE Wyoming got its name from an inaccurate translation. During an 1875 scientific expedition, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Dodge's journal entry recorded that "the Indians call this place 'bad god's tower,'" which he then modified to "Devil's Tower".

More sights in Cody, Wyoming. To my UK friends, how many Tossers Pizza locations are there in England?

Have you ever had dinner in Cody, Wyoming? This is what it looks like.

Old Faithful does indeed dominate every 90 minutes.

I discovered that Yellowstone National Park is miles of boiling cauldrons, over 10,000 hydrothermal hot springs, geysers, mud pots, and LONG traffic jams.

The view on the Madison River when fly fishing.

In June I tried fly fishing, from the bow of a drift boat near Big Sky, Montana, on the Madison River in West Yellowstone. The bait depends on timing of local hatches, today it was caddisfly larvae that we were mimicking, using a double nymph rig with either 2 nymph flies or 1 nymph and 1 fish egg.

45 minutes from Seattle, the Twin Falls Natural Area.

Seattle area hiking: Fort Ward Park and Twin Falls natural area. You can find old growth Douglass fir, this one is 300 feet tall, 12 feet in diameter, probably 1200 years old.

Can you find the eggs? Joel Soisson gives a wildlife lecture on the invisible eggs of a killdeer (charadrius vociferus). Its two-syllable bird call reportedly sounds like "kill deer."

Near Seattle, enjoy the Bainbridge Island retreat of Joel and Claudia Soisson. The front yard is filled with Joel's driftwood sculptures (which is what happens when there is too big a gap between Trekkies sequels).

I made a brief stop just south of Portland, Oregon, at the house of Abel (Milt), where I continued my shrewd plan to be fed by close friends and meet their dogs.

While passing through Eugene, Oregon, I stayed in a Yurt with a coat of arms watching me sleep. And dined with Jordan Mackay (featured in THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE), who gave me a copy of his amazing newly-published fantasy-adventure novel, Children of Eld.

Very kind words about CUT TO THE MONKEY from Eddie Hamilton, brilliant editor of films such as Top Gun, Mission Impossible, and Kingsman.

Have you ever chased a wild turkey?

On a roadtrip stop in Fairfax, California (just north of San Francisco), I visited pal Geoff Bolt. Sadly, the circlets and crystals store featured in The Nature of Existence had closed. Bonus: Don Novello (aka Father Guido Sarducci) randomly joined us for dinner.
