    Living in Montana is not for the faint of heart. You must have a pioneer spirit be self reliant and not expect amenities like you find in bigger cities. Most of these small towns you have to travel a fair distance for supplies and in the winter that can be tricky. I raised 4 children in a small town in Montana so the advice is solid. My sons graduating class was 22 kids and the whole town turned out to wish them all well. After the kids graduate, they move away There are just no opportunities to keep them around

      You got that right. We homesteaded in Montana. We started in 1991 and left in 2002. Our place was off grid and we lived like pioneers along with a couple of other families up a single track gulch. I wouldn't trade those years and experiences for anything. You learn a lot about yourself when the modern world is not on your doorstep.

      I met a Brit in the tiny town of Ovando, MT some years back. I asked him if he was from Liverpool because he sounded just like the Beatles. He was so fun and friendly and exuberant, he put outgoing Americans to shame. He was hosted by former American neighbors who used to live in England and they were on their way to Yellowstone.
      We were in the only general store in town which had photographs of grizzlies who stalk through at night. Short time later a camper in that town was dragged out of her tent and mauled to death by a grizzly.

    There's no experience quite like going through the utterly spiritually beautiful Glacier Park and suddenly finding yourself in.....Browning.
    Browning is a hard, hard place. There are lots of good people that live there, but the problems they face in that community are staggering. A spouse of a family member worked as an emergency room in their ER, and on the weekends, Browning's ER would be indiscernible from any of our nation's largest cities. Gunshot wounds, car accidents, overdoses, assaults, etc. She eventually moved to Seattle and found working as an ER nurse a relief compared to Browning.
    If you guys get a chance again, taking Highway 2 through Glacier is a bucket list experience. As is visiting Browning. For the opposite reasons.

    I the late 90’s, we traveled a number of back country roads in Montana, one that really stood out went out of Columbus. The place had a closed bank with a calendar from 1929 on the wall, a number of other closed buildings had all the windows intact as did the bank... I’m assuming the town was in the vicinity of Rapelje, the elevator had the name of a major brewing company.

They are still here to this day. You are following my trail when I left White Sulphur Springs and went on to Townsend to load grain.

    It was good to see you do White Sulpher and Townsend. They are basic Montana towns, they have what you need to survive, and a lot of agriculture. Dollar General has not spread up here very much, we have one in the Flathead now but it is brand new. Myrna Loy was born in Radersburg, just a little south of Townsend. I appreciate you doing normal cities here, and not the resort areas. These are what regular Montana towns look like, not what you see on "Yellowstone". I appreciate the job you did here.

Add getting worried over ground blizzards at night while driving home from a very small town bar to the "big city.' You'll find almost everyone to be open, friendly, generous and brutally honest .

    I bet it gets too cold in the winter for me . That looks like one of those towns that everybody knows one another? Looks like pretty scenery.

    I was born and raised in Lewistown, MT. You'd love going through that town. Somewhere around 6000 people.

    Lincoln Montana is a pretty drive about an hour or so from Helena. It has a beef jerky factory, and is the location of the Ted Kacynski's cabin and the post office he mailed things from. Watch for wildlife on the roads lol....

    Joe and NIc,
    I like Townsend, but do you see all those peaked roofed houses?.
    I don't think I would like their winters.
    Empty rugged state, but Glacier Park is awesome.
    Some of the best backpacking I ever did.
    Cheers,
    Rik Spector
