  • Billings, Montana has some big rock walls. They're called the Rims or the Rimrocks. Here's a video about them.

    "The digging of the tunnels was so precise, they missed each other completely. And that's how we ended up with two tunnels!"

    Well now I finally understand why the guy who talks about New England history doesn’t sound like he’s from New England. He’s not.

    This trip seemed like an excellent rim job

    Just discovered your channel today and have watched at least a dozen of your videos. They’re absolutely fantastic! And then imagine my surprise when I see you in my hometown, in basically my backyard. Based on geographical clues we probably grew up less than a mile from each other! Always love to see a Billings kid doing great things for the world. Anyway, keep up the great work!

    As a western Montanan who only hears about the worst about Billings, this is fascinating. Thank you for this!

    Dude! This is great!! My Mom lived on Longfellow underneath The Rims. Really cool place. We thought that Billings was a nice town. I've kayaked the river and knocked around the cliffs. Thanks for the great show and memories.

    I laughed out loud at the monster story and getting a little bit freaked out. Its like when you are a kid and its getting dark and you are staring at your friends face and suddenly...ITS A SKULL! HAHA

    Your videos are terrific! I found the Search for Rowe Spring video about 6 weeks ago. You did such a good job of digging up the cultural history of the place, I enjoyed watching a guy walk along a little trickle of a brook for an hour. You've done it again here, and brought the place to life. Love what you do.

    You're videos are always amazing, you deserve so much more recognition than you're getting

    You, your love for outdoors and nature, your anecdotes all remind me of my great Uncle Marty Schulman. Except his anecdotes and outdoor love was for Birmingham, AL. I wish that when he was alive he had made a channel like this. He loved delving into library archives and maps. I just wanted to say I see his spirit in you and it gives me great comfort that people like him still exist. Thanks for all you do.

    Very interesting & funny.

  • @funkmon

    Nothing more relatable than calling a tree a monster tree and trying to explain why it was evil to you as a kid.

    I was living the Hights in the 7th grade about 1972 I was climbing around on the east end of the rim and slipped and began to slide down towards the edge. I just knew I was going to die. I could not see how far it was down but I supposed it was far enough to kill me. But I only fell like maybe 10 or 12 feet to a ledge with hard bushes that cushioned my fall. I got all scratched up and was able to climb out but was thankful I didn't die. True story.

    Great video as always, but I have a hunch the Rims are going to win that staring contest!

    We lived in Glendale (stupid autocorrect! We lived in Glendive) a few years ago, and visited Billings a number of times. My daughter and I found your video/channel tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.
