Post subject: | On the Jeff Ament Freedom Trail |
Had a conference in Havre today, the birthplace of Jeff Ament. Had to drive nearly 7 hours, passed through Big Sandy (where Jeff moved when he was a kid, and where his father served as mayor; also where Jon Tester has his farm). The man comes from a very desolate place. Makes me like him, and his dedication to creativity, even more. A scenic outlook about 90 mins outside Big Sandy. There were already signs here for Big Sandy, as there wasn't much else in between: Downtown Big Sandy (seriously): Havre is mostly just an ugly strip, though the MSU campus (where my conference was held) does look like it has a good farm program. Based on the style of buildings in that area, I'd say all that stuff came after he lived there: |

thought about moving to Idaho, but northern Montana looks a little too desolate for me. |

Boise could be a great change, depending on your current circumstances. It's a cool city that is growing in a good direction, and there's great nature nearby. Sandpoint is beautiful, but the economic situation there is...weird. Unless you're rich or want to do a bohemian sort of thing, I'd steer clear. Parts around Coeur d'Alene area are really nice, but there's way too many wackos and nazis. I love living in SW Montana. It's absolutely beautiful and there's nowhere I'd rather be right now. The JAFT is very different from where I am, though. Wouldn't want to live there at all. |

Why is the Idaho historical museum the shape of Nevada? Also, your giant pictures have made replying to this thread a pain in the ass. |

How are the women folk in Idaho? They all have beards here in Portland. |

Boise is a city that I'm oddly fascinated by somehow. I've never been there but for some reason I've already decided that I would love it there. Even though I have never lived outside of PA... and I never will. |

So would I have to edit my pics in PS before posting, or could I edit the post size somehow between Imgur and RM? |
