wyomiles... you are a demon... :D

We just dumped a hunk of cash into the magazine and some other land investments (stuff is cheap here right now). I'll be thinking about this.

Not sure the wife would enjoy it at first and educating my 6 year old is on top of the list so actually living there might be a stretch. With that mine I'd want to know about water quality. Locally we have the silver valley on the Coeur D' Alene river and for a century or more it has been dumping stuff into the water. So much that they don't dare disturb the sediment on the bottom of the lake since what is under the mud cap is toxic. Kids can't even eat more than one or two fish a week for fear they'll get poisoned. The entire silver valley area was a "superfund site".

With that in mind I'd need a lot of info. but the idea of owning a bar.... and maybe putting in a really good BBQ place... Some other stuff too it could be a lot of fun work.

Now if there was a place like that with a hard rock tunnel mine. The birdy would be chirping a lot louder.

Grumble, grumble.

I'll check up on that "cold weather indoctrination" thread but the last thing I want is to step on anyone's toes. Anyway... as I get older the cold bites deeper. Hell it was 10f today and I had to put on a long sleeve shirt!

... So far we have found much of what we want in Bozeman MT but this year we will be focusing on Wyoming. ...

Hello from Wyoming! Having lived in Bozeman in the late '70s, and Idaho in the mid '70s, I  think you'll find Bozeman to be more liberal than north Idaho. And complaints about Californians were rampant in both States back then, as the were in Colorado in the early '70s. (I recall "Don't Californicate Colorado" bumper stickers were frequently seen, even in Boulder back then.)

I don't know if any city in Wyoming has regular airline flights, if you mean the big carriers. If you don't mind the commuter flights or "teeny weenie airlines," you'll have a lot more choices. Good luck with your plans!

Folks of lesser intelligence even hand feed them in the state parks nearby and simply can't understand why the 'pets' have a tendency to bite their hand or ram horns into cars during rut.

You wouldn't believe the antics that happen in Yellowstone every year. People walking up within 20 feet of a bull elk and setting off the flash in their camera.  ::)  We had one family of tourists show up at Bill Cody Ranch with a broken-off buffalo horn stuck in the side of their van.  :D

As to hippies, look at the bright side. Most of them don't vote. I wish more people were like that. I've known a lot of people tending that way, and the more disreputable they look, the less trouble they give you. Mostly they just want to get stoned and "commune" with nature. The folks I have most trouble with are not hippies, but "civic improvers", always pushing for a new boondoggle, with a tax hike to support it.

Slamaxe, you might look at a border location between Montana and Wyoming, e.g. Sheridan or Lovell. Billings is the largest city in Montana, is nearby, has a nice non-bureaucratic airport and tax-free shopping. And the Big Horns are really cool.

A gentleman in Boseman has a restored WWII Willys jeep with a de-milled M2 on a pintle mount. He would drive it in the Independence day parades.

Not this year. someone objected to the .50

I thought "in Montana?" ???

Ugh.

Zen... Funny to see you here !

Same here, we had a guy in a Willys with "ma Deuce" mounted on a pintle firing blanks on the 4th of July parade. Every year there he was, dressed as Gen McArthur firing his deuce and some dinks objected to the noise... "scared them" so they banned him from shooting it. Year before last he showed but no firing. this year... no show.

I decided that before I move I'm gonna enter the parade and mount an acetylene cannon made to look like a 105 on the rack. That will disturb the pansies...

BTW...

Don't want to put a turd in anyone's soup but I'm not really "conservative", more like pragmatic. I believe in sin taxes and freedom. I frankly don't care what folks do so long as it doesn't interfere with what I do or hurt other folks. Legalize it and tax it. Shoot gangs on sight and release the restrictions on silencers and autos and follow the code of Hammurabi... 'cept don't kill them, just take a finger or a bank account. Flogging is better than jail. I don't care who or what a person is so long as they act like civilized humans and keep their hands off my people and stuff or my neighbors people and stuff.

Simplistic but it worked for thousands of years. I'm no anarchist but I think we have too many laws restricting behavior and business except of course for banks... them we need to adjust some oh yeah and politicians and bureaucrats, they need a whippin annually just to remind them who they work for.

Ooops, Scotch is running low... gotta go ;)

Ron if you show up in time I'll rent you my 3 lb cannon to use for 10 lbs of
FG powder... I'll throw in some 3/32 fuse...

Hey Ron,
I wanted to scout around and gather  some intel before I reported back to you. I guess you couldn't wait :)
Seems like a good bunch of like minded, liberty loving, self respsecting, self sufficient folk here.
Our kind of people!

I'm worried that I'm gonna go to Wyoming next June and not want to go home...

Rich,

You have a canon?!?

The National muzzleloading cannon championships were held in Amenia NY for a while (Yes New York)
About 15 miles from were I grew up. very cool stuff!
One year the Litchfield CT unit was missing one of their crew. I was invited to fill in. I put the powder charge (pre weighed and in a tinfoil cake like a ring-ding) in the muzzle.
they were shooting 8 oz juice cans filled with number 9 shot and epoxy. A giant Glazer Safety Slug!
(Actually the epoxy would make it a Mag-safe, I guess)
The other popular projectile was 12oz soda/beer cans willed with concrete.

What are you using?

Rich,

You're all heart!

This is what I had in mind... the 155mm

http://www.cannon-mania.com/bigbang.htm

A saw instructions for converting one to feed from an acetylene bottle. Much less expensive than the FG powder... and the rent...

Zen,

Thanks, seems there are a few Hoodlums here already, keeping a low profile but sharing their interests in a Free State.

"Legalize sin and tax it"? You need to google up Wayne Allyn Roots website! If the dumba$$s in Commiefornia did that with weed their deficit would be gone in a week or so.

Yes I do... Its made from a Terex Ram bit short of 5 feet...

When it was made I had a then seemingly endless supply of
scrap steel round stock and cut sections of it....

It is currently undergoing a ReBore to accomodate Beer/Pop
cans with wad...Which of late I DO seemingly have an endless
supply  >:D

Its cool because we left sections of the chrome plating like trim
rings on it and parkerized the Rest...

I do not have a carriage built for it, the one I had split at the lugs
when fired, and have been using sand bags since.

Nah, they'd just create another program "for the children" and get even further into debt.
