My family has taken its yearly trip up to Montana. We go in the summer, not the winter, when it's far less crowded, and it's much less hot than in Texas. I'll probably get to do some fly fishing this week, and we might go to Yellowstone. We might also drive to Bozeman and see the awesome dinosaurs at the Museum of the Rockies. That's where Jack Horner works!
I guess this is the Western thread. Or the vacation thread. Or the thread for vacations in the West.
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

Montana is pretty awesome. I've got family up there, and they have special little boxes built all over their ranch, pretty much anywhere a trail or a road intersects a creek. These boxes have a steel mesh at the bottom which allows the snowmelt to flow through. Bottles of beer live in these boxes.
It is for this reason that I have always thought of Montana as a magical place, like the chocolate garden in Willy Wonka.

I've never been to Missoula. The only major Montana city I've ever really been to is Bozeman.
Have you ever been to Billings or Helena? I've always wondered what they're like.

Helena kinda blows for being a capital city. Otherwise its alright, i mean its as big and metropolitan as youre going to get for Montana. Billings i haven't been to, but Bozeman i have for the Cat/Griz game last year.
It was pretty fun then and the area is gorgeous but i hear some things. Then again i go to the U so...
I fell in love with Utah this summer.
Nothing's prettier than running along the Wasatch mountains in the evening, wildflowers and ground squirrels everywhere, nobody on the road but me.
As a kid for like 4 summers in a row my family and some family friends rented all the cabins at this ranch outside of Stanley, Idaho. There were only like 3 cabins, yeah, but hey.
If you are unfamiliar with Stanley Idaho here is a picture to help you understand what it is: A tiny ass mountain town slung under the sawtooth mountains, which themselves look like something out of Lord of the Fucking Rings.
I'll be driving 6.5 hours to the West this weekend, but will remain in Texas. The desert and foothills of the Rockies will be extremely peaceful and relaxing and I will enjoy it immensely.

I spent the whole weekend on a sailboat cruising around the san juan islands
caught a few crab, but they were barely too small to keep
fishing was okay, but we didn't have a ton of time. Snagged a dogfish (tiny shark, fuck yeah) and let it go, and got a couple bites from some rockfish but they got away
at night, we shined a powerful flashlight into the water from the sailboat and saw a shit ton of these little tiny red fish everywhere, and this two foot long weird snake thing came up to the surface. Its sides were all ciliated like a millipede, and it swam around pooping this trail everywhere. Then my wife nad I got in the dinghy and rowed to shore where we had a campsite and the water was bioluminescent every time we paddled.
My extended family has or had some property on the side of Diamond Lake. It's near Newport which is north of Spokane.
I remember a lot of summers going swimming when I was little but we don't go there anymore. I actually used to live near here at one point but I was too little to remember.
This is just a google image, I could find a better one maybe but they probably have family members in it so I don't wanna post it.
I'm moving out west in two weeks and I'm kinda nervous about it
it's just now hit me that I'm going to be 2000 miles away from my home and friends and family and everything I've known my entire life and it's a little scary
zonugal you are probably the creepiest dude on these forums
i applaud you for it
Someone must carry the torch, no matter how hot the flames may bare upon them.
I will be this someone.
You will shine like the brightest star on the darkest night. You will be the one who will lead us across the stars on your glorious chariot of neon green flames.

There are also multiple Mackenzie River Pizza Companies, which are delicious. We don't have them in Texas.

Pretty fucking sweet.
damn you.
I am full of regret
I knew that place had some drifters, but damn.
I felt like I was walking around in one of the cities in fallout 3, there were so many displaced individuals.
Every year I get wet.
i applaud you for it
You heard it here first
I guess I just have the right head for it.
waking up in the fresh air with no sounds of civilization is pretty darn sublime
But than again waking up with three rocks in your back is pretty darn sore.
