    That would be fucking epic! Name badges excluded for the most part, but if you think its necessary.

    Side note, I understand some people are bringing their families and I am all cool with that. What that makes me think is that it should be more just offroad driving that it is "wheeling". I know I am not afraid of the offroad, but I also know that I am not a huge fan of paying to replace parts on my truck, though some of them need it... Just throwing that out there.

    Name badges could be useful...I think it's safe to assume that we all know each others trucks better than faces/names! Hmmm...maybe they could be little truck shaped badges...

    If you want to do that go to Montana State, it's the Ag school plus I believe they have a program like that. But ... any school up here should suit your fancy, there's a lot to do anywhere you go. I just have something against that place you mentioned.

    Just checked out Montana State...I would love to go to either school. And thanks for the help, they have what I'm looking to go into...

    I'll keep you guys updated, I don't think I'd be taking my truck there :(

    Yeah, it's kinda hard to get around in the powder with only two wheels pushin.

    I'm assuming you went to an MSU friday then. You should have found us here. Hell I needed a break, could have given you the real tour. (ie shown you the bar across the street from the field house).

    Good Luck in your endeavors. Just make the right choice & don't be a Griz. (it doesn't really matter, but I judge)

    You'll regret that decision (not bringing the truck)! There's lots of places to go all of which are more fun if you have a good 4x4 rig.

    MSU has a great Biology department - a friend of mine is a research biologist and worked there for years. She was into viruses and stuff though, not sure if that's what you're looking for exactly. They also have an entire department dedicated to studying the thermal areas of Yellowstone National Park - mostly algae and bacteria there.

    EDIT - just saw you're only a 2x...oops! Still could be fun to have the truck though, except during the 8 months of winter.

    Yeah, either Wildlife Biology, Environmental, or Natural Resource Management kinda thing. Thanks for the help. It would be a LONG haul for a 17 year old to go from SC to MT every summer in a 2wd truck

    The drive isn't bad, I've done Syracuse, NY to Bozeman once. I could do it again, not to mention in the summer you shouldn't need the 4wd on the highway.

    Back to the task at hand now... Who? What? When? Where? and How many?

    ooh. ooh. Can we please have two sides? One for those who have a sense of humor and those who don't. I can start giving people names and hope no one gets offended.

    Yes, some people could have "special" names!

    I know, I'm not complaining. Just that this time of year should be the busy time and so far it's not...I sort of work in construction soooo it's a little scary right now. Just to know how slow work is, I was on TW for 8 hours straight on Thursday and Friday researching suspensions.

    Pretty sure I got the first special name then!!!

    Yeah, construction isn't looking to good round here. Not to mention much else. I've decided that I'm not putting my degree on anything that I apply for this summer, unless it's for some shit ass almost management position, that it might help for, doing something I never want to do for more than 3 months.

    what would you like your name to be?

    the fun of graduation time...when panic sets in and you wonder "what the hell do i do now?!?!"
    but you're probably on the right track - don't want to appear over qualified in some cases.
