I was talking to a friend yesterday who grew up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She said that the changes in her hometown are sad, that the billionaires are now buying out the millionaires. She said there is no way she could ever afford to live there anymore.

That’s a fact and it’s been that way for quite a few years.
I lived and worked in Montana for 27 years. I worked with a lot of ranchers and lived on one for a while. The Yellowstone series takes me back to those days and I know much of the scenery having been in the forestry business there. They certainly don’t take kindly to outsiders coming in and trying to change their western way of life. The series is a pretty accurate depiction of the struggle between ranchers, wildlife, native tribes, environmentalists/preservationists, politicians and non-residents. |
