    he probably just bought more of MT after he sold that.
    there's actually some good fishing up past his property outside of Bozeman.

    I was very surprised when we went he sold it to the parks system at a good price. And the house is nice but not what I expected for a man of his means. But the island is pretty good size and he had the entire thing. I just looked it up the island was a little over 4600 acres

    his house here i pretty nice
    upload_2024-2-18_9-3-42.png
    he owns almost this entire screenshot plus more. this is only one of the chunks of land he has out here. but he does spend a good amount of time here too
    his main house is the red X, the blue line is a forest service road that accesses a trailhead. all private, no tresspassing from highway 191 west to that point

    The caretaker was part of the tour and to hear him tell first hand what they tried and went through to try to prevent erosion was interesting. He’s probably still tickled he was able to get somebody to take that off his hands. And he came out looking great for the amount he sold it for. But the caretaker was showing pictures of barges with car sized chunks of granite. With another barge with a giant crane on it setting them. And telling how many millions that attempt cost. So much they tried logs the next time. And he said that was a total flop.

    I read somewhere John Deere has got an electric tractor. It’s pretty bad ass, recharge with on site ag solar. The technology is pretty cool. I still love the old school stuff. Been looking at trucks, mostly T4Rs, they are really dated tech wise. Man I love them, 24 will be the last year for the 5th gen., makes me want one even more.
