I like Montana also, or atleast the mountainous parts. Its very crazy. It is the third largest state geographically but less people in the whole state then we do in our state capitol, Columbus, Oh. I was up there in the summer, perfect weather compared to here, and went to Glacier for some backpacking. Ever been there? Also there was barely any rain up there when we were there and things looked very dry, is there this little percipitation in the winter and the snow just doesnt melt or is there more in the winter? Sorry dont mean to change the subject/steal your post.
