With the glorification by Yellowstone etc., most must think the whole state is a quant yuppie paradise, full of big houses with picturesque views and quant towns with coffee shops, Organic grocery stores, and Boutique shops!
I stayed a week in 110 year old house on the Yellowstone River near Big Timber, they had an IGA that closed at 8, a NAPA,local hardware store and 1 cool bar in town, it was an hour or more to anywhere and awesome, but far from what most people think goes on there. Maybe there needs to be more shows that depicts blue collar Montana?
