Montana represents remoteness, natural beauty, and adventure, offering an escape from societal pressures. In 1997, upon arriving in Missoula for grad school, the clarity of the environment was striking. Unique aspects included the absence of a daytime speed limit and a quirky enforcement system where speeding was ticketed as 'wasting fuel.' The experience of seeing a 'CATTLE AT LARGE' sign reshaped perceptions of cows, prompting reflection on their nature and behavior. Overall, Montana evokes a sense of liberation and connection with nature.
Montana represented remoteness, natural beauty and adventure. In Montana, I wouldn't be surrounded by lawyers and bankers, and I wouldn't feel the pressure to be a lawyer or banker.
Every time I drove past a hillside, I felt the inclination to pull the car over and run up it. The air, the sky, the water were so clear.
When I moved to Montana, there was no daytime speed limit on the highways. The only time Montana had a speed limit was during the energy crisis.
Seeing a 'CATTLE AT LARGE' sign made me think about cows differently. It raised questions about their thoughts and intentions as they grazed.
