Way off topic, but may I just say that I live sort of in the middle of Montana, away from the tourist traps where we used to live (Bozeman). it has gotten expensive fast even here. When we were looking back in 2007 or so, WY was frighteningly overpriced just like NV. They said there is only so much private land... Now where are in rural farm and ranch country, it has gone up to 4X what it was only 2 years ago. It is too late. People who move here from CA, OR & WA find the locals to be unfriendly. They can't wait to buy new license plates. The locals are tired of people moving here and trying to change it to like where they came from. Our newest neighbors are from CA and OR and both had to buy sight unseen over the internet. We hear another from NC just paid 4X the price a 20 acre lot was priced at only a year ago. The owner took it off the market when he saw what was going on last year. He sold it in two days, sight unseen, to some desperate guy who has no idea that he bought a cold north facing cliff side with no level building spot on it. It is also possible to buy land here that has no road to it and no easements. It is actually legal to sell land locked parcels to the unknowing. The message? Buyer beware.

Last, we collect rain and never drilled a well. Our water is the only drinkable water in the area without spending a fortune on filtering and RO treatment. It is possible to think outside of the box.

Here we are rebels. Unmasked, unvaxxed and unafraid. It is still America.
