Comparing

Yes I definatley think the landscape is similar. We have wide open spaces with steep rugged mountains that use to be very popular for sheep herding. Poeple from places like California and Texas move up to Montana thinkin git is going to be very romantic and easy. Well the truth is, it is not always warm, you have to have a four wheel drive rig, you need firewood, a way to plow your self out of snowdrifts, and know how to live off the land in despriate times. Oh and just for the record, owning 20 acres with a dog and a house is not a ranch lol. They choose to settle here because it is beautiful and they love our recreation places but again, they have no clue what they are getting themselves into by not being prepared.
