Mountainous Montana

Been traveling through Montana for a couple weeks now... Montana is huge...The West is so much different than the East.  I like the East because you can drive through a couple states in a few hours.  In the West, you end up in the same boring state for days...well... not that long.  Montana is beautiful, but I would never want to live here.  I like my overpopulated state.  In Montana, we visited the white trash areas of the state like Billings and Butte.  We drove to Bozeman and Helena...and we drove to Lincoln...the town of Lincoln has a bleak past... Years ago, not too long ago in fact, a man lived alone in a cabin that he had built for himself with no water and no electricity.  He wanted to live off the grid, but industry didn't allow it.  This caused this intelligent man to...bomb 16 different universities and airlines..killing 3 people and injuring 23 people.  This man was the unabomber... known as a crazy man, but overlooked as a genius attending Harvard University at 16 and teaching at Cal Berkeley at the age of 25 after getting his PhD in mathematics at the University of Michigan.  You gotta watch out for those smart ones...
