Not only do we have electricity, we have running water, indoor plumbing, huge clear skies, pristine lakes and streams, pure air, thousands of square miles of untouched forest and prairie, ghost towns, Western history and so much more ... God's country, for sure!

Better still if you are an Electrical Co-Op Member. They have come fast nearly every one of the few times we have had an outage. They came once with the storm still raging. I can recall living in a more populous area and being down for a week.
To Tommy's note, yes, we have wonderful things in Montana, but you probably wouldn't like it here!

My grandma's house was in Montana, no electricity and no running water. We lived in North Dakota but would visit her pretty often. She had a small pump by the kitchen sink and a large one out in the yard. When she would lose the prime on the small one, the girl's would cover their ears. After she finished telling the small pump what she thought of it. She would take a bucket and go out to the big pump and get some water for what she wanted.
My grandma was a hard livin', cigarette smokin', rough takin', cranky old lady but soft as a marshmallow on the inside. She lived way into her nineties and dearly loved by everyone. I still miss her
Excellent picture - Brings back some great memories

Not really, I have found Montana to be possibly the friendliest place I have ever lived. I won't mention the other States. You do have to make an effort, meet & remember people, be helpful, contribute to the community, just old school values.

We have electricity in Pa and Fl too. Our mountains in Pa are not as grand as yours, nor do we have western history, unless you count all the wagon trains and conestoga wagons that originated from here. Unfortunately our skies are not always as clear nor our waters as clean, but many areas are exceptionally good.
What we also don't have, are the hordes of Californians moving in to attempt to alter the way of life as they are in the great states of Montana and Wyoming. LOL

This picture hits me at the right time. I could build a house a little bigger a few more amenities and just move there. I am so tired of all the BS. If you a useless sack of $h!T the whores in DC love you. God, I would love to be there.

If you are not careful, Tommy, you are going to have an influx of people from other states. Keep your paradise to yourself.

I've think Montana must be a wonderful place. However, I don't see how electricity will be of much benefit in this particular situation. At least it add to the story of this very nice shot!

I'm sure that's true - it certainly was when I visited your beautiful state. However, I would be interested to know what that little hut needed electricity for. Do you know?
