Montana.
Seven letters, infinite wonder.
More cows than people, ghost towns galore, stomping grounds of the dinosaur and the American Indian; the west as wild and beautiful and lonesome as it is epic.
Home to the first International Peace Park and the first woman elected to Congress. A pacifist, Jeanette Rankin was the only member of Congress to vote against declaring war on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. No news Jeanette never married, despite several offers. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
This girls got a few more Montana facts to share with you following my uncommon journey to the 41st state. Let’s just say I enjoyed a bit of literary license in the sharing.

46 of Montana’s 56 counties are considered “frontier counties” with fewer than 6.8 people per square mile; about the same ratio of Illinois politicians who end up serving time.
Montana was the last state to establish an age limit for buying cigarettes, about the same time the Marlboro Man succumbed to respiratory failure.
Tweets originating from inside the state of Montana are longer than those from any other state−averaging just more than 43 out of 140 possible characters in length. Just another way Montanans live up to their BIG SKY country reputation.

By law, it is a felony in Montana for a wife to open her husband’s mail; nothing on the books about reading his texts, though.

Montana is believed to have the largest grizzly bear population in the US, second only to the massive numbers of sex-crazed Love Bugs making whoopee on Floridian's windshields. Better sex-crazed bugs than sex-crazed bears.
Combination, Comet, Keystone, Black Pine, and Pony are Montana ghost towns. My guess, no way Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid high tailed it to South America.
