I write a series called "Broke in Bozeman" for a reason. Finding lunch for a modest amount of money has become challenging around here. But it's not impossible.
Perhaps the squirrels have to work a little harder up here to make it through the winter, but really - squirrels in Montana are doing something this year that I have never seen them do, and it's not good news for your home or property.
If you travel between Belgrade and Bozeman often, you'll be interested to know that Gallatin County is in the early stages of planning improvements for three very busy intersections. When the projects begin, you might need to adjust your commute a bit.
