Backroads of Montana

(No. 138) Hook, Line and Singer

Special | 28m 32s

We meet a retired rancher in Deer Lodge whose unlikely collection of home appliances grew from necessity. The show profiles a student at Stone Child College who has a unique approach to Native American songs. Next is a sandstone metropolis of hoodoos carved by the Two Medicine River. Then, Backroads meets a western Montana man who has worked hard to improve access to the state's great outdoors.
