What is there to do in states like Montana, Wyoming, Vermont, the Dakotas?

[big bun]

There is actually a lot to do in all those places if you really want to do something. Gotta be the outdoors type though.

Gonna let you guys on a little secret.

All of you talking about wanting to get out and do things in the outdoors, but don't want to live in a small state with no diversity or many things to do should be looking at Portland or Seattle.

u a breh or a cac?

Bet that is an open carry state, but what about drugs n money? Is it easy to find shyt n is there clientele to hustle?

Hoz? U gettin p*ssy out there, I know u married but u know what I mean

LOL i'm a breh. But I AM team light skin. Mom is dark, pops is light. Pops genes won big. Make of that what you will in regards to how peaceful I have it. People do leave people the fukk alone in general here. There's a handful of black people that I know through the jobs i've had here. And we've spoken about the black experience. They are few, but they're chilling. No big stories of discrimination. Which isn't to say it doesn't happen, but being left alone is the overall vibe.

And the white people are REAL loud with the Black Lives Matter stuff here. Even here in the tumbleweeds. Remember, Bernie is from here so a lot of the 20 somethings adore him, and are liberals.

To carry it into the question of the women, that's probably what you'd end up eating off of if that's what your going for. College aged, mostly white women in Burlington who would likely be attracted to brehs. I went to Burlington with my wife a month or two ago. There's like giant drawings of George Floyd in store windows. Tons of BLM flags and banners. Ben & Jerry's has shops here since they're a Vermont company...and Black Lives Matter is plastered all over. Kinda blew my fukking mind actually. So in that sense, you could come through and damn near be a celebrity lol.

Drugs and clientele...i'm literally on the other side of that. My last job was at a drug testing facility for recovering addicts. My current one is as a pharmacy tech, so i'm seeing my patients from the old place come in to pick up prescriptions to get them OFF the drugs they were piss testing for. Vermont has a BIG drug problem, and that cannot be overstated.

Also,

I was in Montpelier for work last year. Surprisingly, the food was good. VT reminds me a lot of Canada. Heavy French influences there. A place where everyone knows everyone. I think you have to be born and raised there to appreciate it. Type of place you don't club, you bar hop.

True story. I do miss the fukk outta Montreal though. Vermont has a similar vibe but not quite. I was in love when I first visited Montreal. What threw me off about both places the most...is that people say hello to you lol. Being from Brooklyn, it took me like a year to switch the New Yorker up and be comfortable with that.

Trying to avoid wild life on daily basis

I used to want to live in a big city (I lived in D.C. for years) for the rest of my life but the older I get the more I’d feel content having a big house with a lot of land and fresh air. As long as there’s a medium sized city (at least 100k pop.) nearby (15-20 minutes) I’m good

I always dreamed that I would retire in Montana on a small ranch on a lake

That aside...

If I hit the lotto
I would build a sweet ass log cabin home on this lake
and spend a week or more out here every year
especially when im stressed

that whole opening scene to the shining when they driving through that whole area by St Mary lake really is mind blowing when you stop and process it.
