Don't let them know you are from CA. I have several friends that live in Bozeman area and they cannot stand the CA transplants. It is a big topic of conversation out there.

That's happening everywhere as people are scrambling to get out of California....state is an absolute mess.  Sad, so very sad.   People in Idaho pissed, Montana, Colorado, etc, because people are leaving here and in many ways changing their culture, their way of life.  I don't blame them, but this crap trap here is making many people say ENOUGH!  We next, cannot friggin wait.

Sounds perfect.  Will you, Billy, Dad and Hoop be sharing the same IP address there too?

LOL.  Come up with the coins for the bet and happy to prove you wrong....all proceeds to charity. Offer still stands.  I guarantee you we don't share the same IP address.  I can't speak for Dad, but since I know Billy and where he lives and works, I can tell you that you are far off base.

Same in Texas. My buddies are pissed off that the CA transplants are allowed to vote so quickly.

[Cheeks]

So you're saying there are benefits to gun ownership?

Yes. Protection.  Hunting.  Sport.

Why?

And let's not push the false narrative that everyone is leaving Cali.Their population increases every year (not aimed at your reply, Goose).

More people LEAVE than come in. The state is a net exporting population state now.  The only reason the state increases population is from in state population births, 480K in 2018, and international inbound, but that doesn't change that American citizens in California are leaving the state yearly than moving INTO the state...and it is currently accelerating according to the data. In the last few years, even with international inbounds, the net export of population has exceed all imports including international and domestic.

Great thing is that 99% of tourists take the inner loop on their hike. Leaves the outer loop for those few of us who enjoy the beauty of, and want to commune with nature.

The outer loop is awesome when one has the time to linger.

Oh, and it's also nice how you guys are pissing all over Jockey's vaca thread.

You wanna talk politics, go somewhere else. But thanks  for adding to the discussion.

Yup, he is committed to the cause.

Friend who just moved to Bozeman sent me this a few days ago.  She's loving every minute of it.

Great pic. I didn't realize why it is called Big Sky Country until I was out there. The sky really does feel bigger.

Minuteman Missile is kick butt.  Right at the exit for Badlands is the visitor station.  You can arrange a tour to get into the air force bunker where the dual keys would have been turned during the Cold War.  I believe it is only done once a day and I suspect the waiting list is long.  My timing has never worked.  About 10 miles further west on I-90, and only 200 yards off the freeway, is the Delta-9 launch site.  Each side (USA/USSR) was allowed to 'restore' one launch site for historical purposes.  One does a self guided cellphone tour.  Delta-9 was operational until only a few years ago.  There's a missile but no warhead in the silo.  Scary as hell. 

Now you know why the interstate highway out there is absolutely perfect.  Even today you can drive south of Rapid City on a road that rivals anything.  But there's no people or traffic to justify it.  Just today's modern launch sites if you know what to look for.  The route to Wind Cave takes you literally past the 'Keep out' fence where if you crossed you wouldn't look the same afterward.

Stopped at the missile site a couple days ago. It was outstanding. Showed both the brilliance and the madness of mankind at the same time.

A couple interesting things. One, I never realized when I drove out there when the kids were young that I was driving within a couple hundred yards of a live 120 megaton nuclear warhead. Two, I never realized missile sites were one of the reasons Eisenhower proposed the Interstate Highway system.

That would drive me nucking futs.   I can handle about 1 day of staring into space, then I need to be doing something.

Spooky, isn't it? Totally worth the short stop.
