Ryder does do one way rentals just try and get them to do a two way
rental. I've used Ryder many times and for both one and two way
rentals. They cost more butthe trucks are in better shape.
However for the mountains unless you have a turbo you are screwed.
I'd rent any brad ans long as it had a Turbo diesel.
The trouble Nate had was the engine ran out of air in the higher
elevations. So if the truck was running rich to begin with it's going
to die when the air thins out. The turbo eliminates that problem.
I don't know if Ryder has a Turbo Diesel.

I don't see how they could tell or enforce a rule about whether or not
you can hunt on your own land. But it wouldn't surprise me if they
hassled you about it. Some land has never been huntyed on as it's too
remote. There has to be certain stipulations regarding hunting.
I'd rather buy an old farm with the farmhouse in decent condition than
buy property that's just bare land.
As I said if the deed doesn't give me all teh right on my own land I
don't want it. The Mining compaies know where all the good stuff is.
Once it's mined out they still keep it unless it's devastated land.

That's why it's best to buy an existing property and speak directly to
teh building inspector and be straight with him right off the bat.
Some just don't care about certain things. Some are so ---- and had
their head so far up their *** that they've never actually seen the
light of day. Codes can vary from area to area even within the same
county. That's why it's usually best to hire someone to upgrade
plumbing HVAC and electrical who plays poker with the building
inspector.
Montana should have a grandfather clause. They cannot make you alter
your residential codes if they are already in place. That's blatantly
illegal. but that never stopped the Gov't before.

Well like anything you have to research it and speak with all the
neighbors if you are interested in the property.
I walkd on a property that was really nice years ago in NH because the
neighbors were anti-everything and had driven out many potential
buyers because they wanted total quiet. No Sleds, 4x4's, ATV's etc...
They had a reputation for calling the cops and making false
complaints.
Their neigbors hated them but it was ongoing BS that I wanted no part
of.

Black bears really damage anything that might have fod in it and deer
do a job on trees and gardens. I don't really care that they are there
as long as the don't bother me.

What you need is skis. Current men's record is 155.8 miles/hour
which to me is about what you can get up to by falling off a cliff.
Seriously on a good mountain, 60-80 miles/hour is not at all
that difficult to get up to. 20-40 mph on starter slopes. And the
Montana snow is nothing like that wet, packed, slushy crap you find
further south. Meters and meters of good powder to break your fall....

What you need is skis. Current men's record is 155.8 miles/hour
which to me is about what you can get up to by falling off a cliff.
Seriously on a good mountain, 60-80 miles/hour is not at all
that difficult to get up to. 20-40 mph on starter slopes. And the
Montana snow is nothing like that wet, packed, slushy crap you find
further south. Meters and meters of good powder to break your fall....

There are crack heads in montana. But mostly what you get is
outlaw bikers with speed labs, until the law catches up with
them.
