Don't forget Idaho
You know, I overnighted in Idaho twice a couple of years ago, when driving across the country. Both times I stopped in a Lolo National Forest and camped, saw no one, spoke to no one.
I'm thinking that was probably the best case scenario. I'm quite certain I didn't even stop for fuel within Idaho's borders.
I live in Jackson, Wyoming. We and Idaho have twin Teton Counties which are affectionately referred to as "Wydaho". It is, with no hyperbole, the greatest place I have ever lived in. The problem is always the psychotic state government. The locals are actually VERY nice, especially on the less crowded Idaho side.
EDIT: The parts of Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee I have seen are also very beautiful.
The states themselves are beautiful, they’re just run by the trashiest people in the US
We had to drive from Oregon to Montana a few times during the pandemic years and made sure not to stop for gas in Idaho.
And Missouri.
one of the tech sites yesterday had a short blurb about states paying to get workers and remote workers to relocate – seems to be a pretty strong overlap between implementing conspiracy theory laws and trying to stop the “““right””” kind of people from leaving …
And it sucks. We loved going to Nashville and other parts for concerts, the food, etc but we can't support this insanity. We decided to nix Tennessee with the last big news story and now this.
That's an easy promise to keep, because there won't be any jet planes flying in or out of the state due to chemtrails LOL
Chemtrails are not contrails.
Edit: spellchecker broke it.
I mean, technically, contrails are composed of chemical compounds. Mainly dihydrogen monoxide which is one of the most dangerous chemicals there are!

Hydric acid - it has the highest pH of all the acids known to humankind!
So... H2O is the most dangerous compound? Hahahahahahaha this was a good read
The people who wrote this bill are too stupid to know the difference. Whoosh.
