DCAllAfrican ive actually seen a decent amount of black people.

If you don’t mind me asking, what has you in Montana for an indefinite amount of time? You working remotely or something? Witness protection? Part of Kanye’s crew?

I grew up in Seattle and have always been in diverse neighborhoods and blacks were inner city and sprinkled in the burbs. But common. And I started moving around the country did LA/SF for 3 years and then moved to Alabama for a few months then Atlanta for a year. Eye opening and real experiences. Then after that I moved to Minnesota for 7 months.
I thought I was gonna run into all kinds of problems, but I loved it there. It was dope, hella cold tho. Crazy cold. Also I was up in Duluth not Minneapolis. Good thing.
anyways one of the last times I stopped in Montana was Bozeman the college town. My sister and I stopped there on a road trip to Seattle. Got some stiff looks but no body wanted smoke.We had a beer or 2 then got back on the road tho.

Whitefish is known for its racism. Not saying everyone is tgere, but thats where supposedly the Klan still has a presence.
Living in Bozeman (college town) i see a fair amount of other black people. I mean daily its probably still only enough to count on 2 hands, thats usually only when school is in. Missoula is also the other bigger college town and also have about the same amount out n about.
Native American is the 2nd highest group behind White here
Can you tell the difference in air quality out there?
I can imagine you waking up and walking outside like
Yeah its all good until late august early sept. If we dont have our own wild fires then we get smoke from Cali Oregon Wash Canada fires. Last year was good barely any smoke but this year has been pretty rough.
But yeah the air is good most of the time
The smell of a fire in the cold and thin winter air
I like to sleep with the windows cracked and thats the worst smell for me trying to sleep. My in laws have a wood stove they use to heat their house, as do a lot of people.
Im im Bozeman. So compared to Cali its cheaper but you still end up paying alot considering. Housing market didnt take a hit one bit during the pandemic because so many people from those states look to either move here, have 2nd or 3rd homes, or buy homes for getaways/rent out.

Helena is relative cheap for Montana. I live in Bozeman, if its not the most expensive then its def top 3. Big Sky is the highest but most consider it an extension of Bozeman
Compared to places like California and New York its cheaper.

Ive met/run in to A LOT of people that moved here from Georgia as well.
Since we were talking about the demographic, i havent experienced any racism from the people at all since living here. My only problem/encounter with it was from a damn police officer (go figure right) like 3 months after i got here

you could stay in rapid city. It’s probably the biggest town. Some pretty good places to eat then you are in a central location to all the outdoor stuff.
there is a lot of camping too if that’s your thing or renting cabins.
I recommend the black elk peak hike if you’re trying to do something semi challenging.

you liked Duluth then? I know a bunch of people there who love it. It seems ok weather wise until the lake freezes then cold af.
I used to pass through there a lot for work on the the to the iron range, like Hibbing and Virginia and all those towns. Coldest place I’ve ever been in my life.

Yeah you just missed all the smoke. Out of nowhere we got about 4 or 5 fires then a pretty big one in bozeman that burned big/fast for a weekend then some rain came and slowed it down. About 3 days later the smoke from oregon and cali fires rolled in and hung around for about a week.
This was on the 15th, on the road to my house. Normally there's huge mountain view there
