(by U.S. Senator Jon Tester in New West)--Tester is a Democrat from Montana.

(by JoAnn Sardo suite101.com)--I agree with this list; of course, there are varying levels of fitness. If you are completely unfit, you will certainly struggle. However, if you aren't in shape but otherwise healthy, these are all do-able and will indeed improve your fitness. 3/16/09 Latest Yellowstone elk report (by Mack's Inn Resort)--discouraged by the lower elk numbers since wolf reintroduction; the numbers of elk on the northern range are getting closer, however, to their numbers pre-park, which is expected by some scientists on the whole to be better for vegetation and smaller mammals (like beaver) 3/16/09 American Bison (art by Susan Fox) 3/16/09 Will the U.S. sell assets as the British government did?
