Montana

[Chimera]

I've only driven through Montana. I definitely recommend the western part of the state (Missoula, Butte, etc).

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I've been looking at Montana because I'm weird and don't like people

I don't know anything about Montana but can totally identify with this statement. Thanks for providing engaging entertainment whilst taking a break from writing my manifesto.

Yeah my wife showed me an article about a woman that made $125K/year in NYC and she left it all to go make $10/hour scooping ice cream in St. John's in the Caribbean. She said it's not always easy but she feels like she is living life so much more now.

It just got me thinking about my own mortality and how I always assumed I'd work in Cali and retire someplace else. But California is so unbelievably competitive and you have to work work work just to survive here.

One point the author of the article made was that if you constantly find yourself saying "I need a vacation", then maybe you actually need a new life.

Truer words were never spoken.

Do you like snow up to your ass?

Since I charge $100 an hour to snow plow. HELL YES!!!!!

Cali has it's good and bad sides for sure.

But that 400k equity you mentioned you won't get elsewhere. Once the housing markret fully recovers in SoCal I'm most likely cashing in and saying hasta la vista baby.

I'm going to be living on a piece of property a quarter of a mile by half a mile.

Going to raise rabbits?

My coworker lives in Montana several months a year. He says there are two seasons; winter and roadwork.

Worked at a ranch in Wyoming for several months right after college and absolutely loved the weather (summer) and they laid back lifestyle.  Was in lower Montana on several occasions and have since gone back on a few treks.

 

Montana is two states, west and the beautiful mountains and east is much flatter and more prairie looking.

 

Love the western half and the mountains

 

I would say you should make a quick trek there for a week around the first of June.  All roads should be open then for you to explore.  Go to smallish towns and eat at the local restaurants.  Very nice people

Going to raise rabbits?

 

heh, was just about to post this:

 

Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?

If you are into snowmobiles, horses, dirt bikes, or hiking, why the hell not?

 

 

Personally It's too cold for me, and far too lonely, but it's beautiful.

Montana is absolutely beautiful.

 

Many many things to do if you like the great outdoors. I'm partial to the northern part because I love the lakes and the mountains etc.

Being his neighbor would be a reason not to go.
