Fwee! *Pounces on* Love you hun!
The thing I'm having trouble with is where to go, I need my character to explore and go places. Which country should she stay in? Do you have any ideas except for the obvious??
Also, odd question for you maybe, what's your accent like?
I know it could be hard to explain and you'd probably find it hard because you don't hear your own accent...but yea.
I was wondering.
You mean counties not countries, right?
Ha ha ha ha.
Well, it really depends on what you want your character to do. And you also have to figure in the weather. SO, if your character is here in winter, say before January--it's usually snowy and cold. Though, we haven't had that much snow the past few years. During January and February, it gets wicked cold. Below zero...without a 30 mph windchill. BRRR!!
"Spring time in the Rockies" usually means, anything goes. Snow, rain, sunny...whatever. Ha ha ha. The summers are really nice. This past summer got record breaking hot. If you want your character here in the summer....well...there's always Flathead Lake. Cool place.
So, I can't really tell you good places to go because it really depends. Any ghost town is cool...Bannack for one. Umm....anywhere in the mountains. I would suggest the mountains in the southwest/south central. Though, the Mission mountains up north are gorgeous! Like I said earlier about Eastern Montana...it's not that spectacular. But parts of it are okay. If you just ignore Billings, Eastern Montana is tolerable.
Up near Eureaka and Choteau...those are cool places. Especially Choteau...lots of dinosaur bones!!! That's a cool place....Eastern Montana is fairly well known for all the dinousaurs found.
Missoula...(in Western Montana...
) is a pretty cool place.
"Hippie town" as some people call it. Full of liberals and environmentalists and laid back ski bums and kayakers...and your typical lazy college kid. It's a very politically and environmentally outspoken place.
Mmmm...accent. Well...I was just talking about that with my roommate the other day. I mean, I suppose we HAVE an accent, who doesn't.
Most of us do NOT have they stereotypical "western/southern/cowboy" accent. I mean, there are a few, and most of those are farmers/ranchers...but even most of them don't have that stereotypical "Howdy partner" accent...
We do pronounce our "a's" differnetly. Instead of bag being said as: "baaaaaahhhhhg" (like a long a) we say it like with a short "a." Does that make sense? Ha ha ha. Maybe Sida can/did explain that better.
Oh, and if you're a natural born Montanan...we tend to hate Californians. They come in here, think they own the place, jack up the prices on everything, DEVELOP all the damn land into stupid Wal-Marts and subdivisions, and they don't even bother to live here.
*sigh*
Erm...that's all I can think of right now....

Calm down dear!
