BTW some heads-up info since you're an LEO.
Montana has one of the highest DUI rates of all the states. A lot of Montanans think its a birth right not to wear seatbelts with the majority of auto deaths result from ejections due to not wearing safety belts. Folks with big 4WD pickups and AWD cars think they can drive like its July on icy/snowy roads just because they have 4WD. Lots of wrecks on Hwy 93 in the Bitterroot because of that, as well as elsewhere in the state. Put real winter tires on your rigs not the crappy AW tires. On any part of a highway that doesn't get any sun or very little this time of the year can get and hold ice. One can be driving on dry pavement then go into the shade and you're on ice and spinning.
Also, most Montanans don't know what a turn signal is, think running red lights and speeding well over the speed limit is a birthright, and like cutting in and out of lanes if there's a half car-length space between rigs. I could write moving violation tickets all day long.
MT has some serious meth and other drug problems, and a relatively high suicide rate regardless of the low population.
If you live in the woods create defendable space (clear off the brush and most trees) around your home. Ask about the Roaring Lion fire just outside Hamilton this last summer. This vid covered a 2-4 hr. time period. Lots of homes lost. Some of the ones that survived had defendable space around them. And put a metal roof on your house.
