Mountain Line reduces services for the summer
According to Mountain Line CEO Maria Smith, the changes affect Route 30 West Run, Route 38 Blue & Gold, Route 44 Valley View and Route 6 Gold Line.
For the Route 30 West Run, summer service will be discontinued beginning today. Service will resume Aug. 20 and run from 7:10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday with no evening runs. Late-night service on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights will remain unchanged.
Route 38 Blue & Gold will run on a reduced schedule over the summer, operating from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with no weekend service. Regular service, including university breaks, will resume Aug. 20.
"We looked at the ridership trends, and summer service just wasn't sustainable with the requested budget cuts, " Smith said during the last Mountain Line board meeting. "Admissions are down, and that affects demand."
Route 44 Valley View will not operate at all during the summer. It will resume Aug. 20, running during WVU's fall and spring sessions and university breaks.
For the Route 6 Gold Line, subsidized by WVU, the Sunday service will be eliminated. The Gold Line will continue to run Monday through Saturday as usual.
Smith said the changes follow budget adjustments requested by West Run and WVU due to financial constraints and declining ridership in some areas.
"These service eliminations are a result of requested cuts in service by WVU and West Run, " Smith said in a statement.
Riders are encouraged to plan ahead and look for alternative routes to meet their transportation needs.
Mountain Line will continue to gather public feedback on the changes through an online survey and community meetings. Full route maps, updated schedules and trip-planning help are available at www.busride.org.

Flight Attendants and Frequent Fliers Alike Love This ‘Perfect' Travel Organizer—and It's Only $10 at Amazon
People have many opinions on which travel accessories are the best, from compression packing cubes that save luggage space to toiletry bags that can hang on the bathroom door. However, one underrated item that should be on every list is a tech organizer, because you do not want to deal with tangled cords and misplaced power adapters while you're on a trip. With a well-designed electronics case, everything from memory cards to portable chargers lives in one organized place. The top-selling tech organizer on Amazon is the most obvious choice, with over 30,000 ratings, including from the most practiced packing experts—flight attendants. We read through their reviews to find out why, astonishingly, one of these sells every three minutes. The FYY travel cable organizer pouch is 'the exact solution to the tangle of wire, chargers, reserve batteries, camera cards, etc.,' one reviewer wrote. The smallest size—7.5 by 4 inches—has eight pockets across two main zipper compartments. The pockets vary in size, some being small enough for a little flash drive and others large enough to fit the beefiest of portable chargers. For one flight attendant, it's the 'perfect system' that not only keeps items together and organized, but it also ensures some of the most fragile and valuable things you travel with stay safe from spills and jostling thanks to the padded, waterproof shell. There's a medium size (about eight by five inches and 2.5 inches deep) and a large size (9.5 by six by three) for travelers with more gear to tote. And, this organizer comes in a whopping 23 colors, so you can personalize it to match the rest of your travel gear. Reviewers credit the $10 case for bringing organization into their lives, both on the road and at home. For instance, one parent of a flight attendant bought it for their daughter because it can hold 'a little of everything,' like chargers, Band-Aids, medicine, and jewelry. Plenty of people say they use theirs every day, including one reviewer who lives in a tiny home and wrote that 'the constant tangle of cords and Bluetooth devices and external batteries was maddening,' but this 'perfect little organizer' provided an easy solution. 'We can stuff two people's worth of tiny tech and cords in here, zip it, and hang it on the hook near our keys, and the mess is no longer.' Feeling inspired to sort and assemble your gadgets now? We compiled more of the top-selling travel tech organizers to shop for as little as $6 below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $10. Love a great deal?

Pittsburgh-area campgrounds fill up ahead of Fourth of July
Campground starting to fill up ahead of Fourth of July weekend Campground starting to fill up ahead of Fourth of July weekend Campground starting to fill up ahead of Fourth of July weekend Campgrounds in western Pennsylvania are beginning to fill up ahead of the Fourth of July. At Raccoon Creek State Park in Beaver County, KDKA found many campers just arriving and setting up on Wednesday afternoon. That included the Craig family. They were cooking up mini hot dogs for their kids and burgers for the parents and grandparents. "It has the potential to be the best Fourth of July yet," mom Catherine Craig said. Their family likes to camp, but they had never gone camping during the Fourth of July weekend until Wednesday. She's hoping this is the start of a tradition. The grandparents brought their RV from North Carolina. The kids are 2 and 4 years old. "They're gonna go fishing, and hopefully they're gonna walk around and look for some birds and stuff," Craig said. Not far away, the Nabozny family had a new camper and multiple tents set up. "We're not big on shooting off fireworks. We just like being out to see all the natural beauty America has to offer," Logan Nabozny said. For the Maryland-based family, the trip is all about spending time with loved ones. Jeff Crawford was responsible for building the fire. It took him a few attempts, as neither using bark as tinder nor a leaf blower worked. He admitted he does not go camping often. "We've had this tent for three years, this is the first time we've gotten to use it," Crawford said.

Herd Of 100 Elephants Migrate To Beverly Hills In Cross-Country Journey
Herd Of 100 Elephants Migrate To Beverly Hills In Cross-Country Journey originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The Great Elephant Migration is an international art and fundraising exhibit, shedding light on Indigenous knowledge and highlighting the coexistence of people and elephants living in the densest populations of the world, as well as the importance of environmental conservation. With 100 handmade and lifesize elephant sculptures sustainably crafted from the invasive Lantana camara plant, these pieces were designed by The Real Elephant Collective, an organization consisting of over 200 Indigenous artists from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Each elephant sculpture is modeled after a living wild elephant coexisting alongside the artisans. Behind each life-sized figure, a real elephant's name and personality are by indigenous artists, cultural institutions, and wildlife conservationists, this mobile exhibit journeyed across the country, touring spots in Newport, Rhode Island, The Meatpacking District of New York City, Miami Beach, Florida, Houston, Texas, Blackfeet Nation, Montana, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the deserts of Utah, Nevada, and California—these handcrafted sculptures are currently settled in Beverly Hills Garden Park along Santa Monica Boulevard, spanning four blocks from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive, and will be available for public view through August 1st of this year. From June 17th to the 26th, these elephants have stayed busy throughout the last leg of their long journey. From Blackfeet Nation, Jackson Hole, to West Yellowstone, these sculptures made their way to Salt Lake City, Zion National Park, Las Vegas, and Joshua Tree before arriving in Los Angeles. The elephants and their trucks were decked out in style; Indian lorry art, streamers, garlands, and textiles—among other embellishments—added vibrant color and a celebratory atmosphere to the ending of this country-wide trek. Along the way, notable appearances included remarks from Democratic Minority Leader Angela Romero, as well as drumming performances from the Ute Tribe, a presentation of the Key to the Las Vegas Strip by Clark County Commission Chair Tick Segerblom, and a motorized escort from The Litas, a global women's riding collective. The elephant convoy also stopped by the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing in Agoura Hills, which is undergoing its final stages of construction and will be the largest wildlife bridge in the a celebration was held on June 27th to mark the finish line of these elephants' journey. At the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, ceremonial blankets were draped on these figures, displaying a global textile collection—fittingly named "Wrapped In History"—carefully put together by Vikram Goyal, a New Delhi-based designer. From South Asian to Indigenous North American designs, this exhibit features 70 custom blankets from artisans preserving the craft of diasporic textile tradition worldwide. Ultimately, the profits from the auctioned blankets as well as the elephants themselves will fuel the goal of The Great Elephant Migration: to foster a connection between humans and the natural world. August 1st will mark the end of this elephant installation and the "Wrapped In History" textile exhibit, with an event called "Kiss Them Goodbye." This final farewell and last appeal for endangered wildlife conservation will conclude the country-wide expedition, but not without leaving a lasting impact on each area this unforgettable elephant convoy visited. As Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian stated, 'The Great Elephant Migration is more than an art installation, it's a powerful sign of unity, connecting us to the stories of wildlife and reminding us of our joint responsibility to protect our planet and wildlife. We're proud to host this meaningful exhibition that illuminates our city's values of environmental stewardship, cultural appreciation, and community connection. It will bring wonder, awareness, and a sense of meaning to our city."No doubt this sentiment resounds throughout all areas this Great Elephant Migration toured, leaving behind an excitement and enthusiasm for the ways in which wildlife and humanity can peacefully coincide. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jul 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
