Today was a recovery day from yesterday...whew all those dogs wore me out. So between morning nap, early afternoon nap, afternoon nap and evening nap....
I did some research on Montana and found these fun facts:
- Montana has the largest grizzly bear population in the lower 48 states. (Scary!)
- 46 out of Montana's 56 counties are considered "frontier counties" with an average population of 6 or fewer people per square mile.
- The density of the state is six people per square mile.
- In Montana the elk, deer and antelope populations outnumber the humans.
- Montana is nicknamed the Treasure State for the abundance of gold, silver, copper, coal, and more recently oil. There are a lot of ghost towns where there was once a working mine and when they mined everything they could people just up and left, leaving an entire town.
- The coldest temperature on record for Montana is also the coldest temperature for the entire contiguous U.S. On January 20, 1954, −70 °F (−57 °C) was recorded at a gold mining camp near Rogers Pass. (Definitely gonna need a jacket if it gets that cold again!)
