Nicely done. You're a great writer @donkeypong.
I can relate. Last spring I went on a regenerative agriculture consultation there to check out a 4,000 ranch. I was there only a week, but really fell in love with the place. It's called Big Sky country for a reason. Everywhere your eye turns there's more beauty. And the people were perhaps the most friendly I'd ever been around. I could live there, though maybe Arizona would be better for about three months or so each year. :)
