    Same with Idaho, the Snake River and Craters of the Moon are godsdamned awe inspiring and then ya talk to the people. The Native Americans are the only particularly tolerable folks, that and the occasional Californian who is up there cause it’s cheap.

      Oh, I’ve been on the Snake River, in Montana though. Didn’t realize it was that long. My grandparents own a cabin up there in West Yellowstone. We’re old money Mormons. It’s… not great. One of my ancestors owned a company that paved Salt Lake. Another was the second wife of Joseph Smith’s bodyguard. I’ll never forgive those dumbasses (there were many more) for what they did to so many people. I’m sure that I’m related to the racist farmers pretty closely, sorry about that. God, I hate most Mormons. It’s like they don’t have a single hobby or ounce of personality.

        Wow that is some old bastard blood ya got, but it ain’t your sins nor your crimes. The actions of our ancestors are not our own unless we claim them, three branches of my ancestry helped expand the institution of slavery in the South I repudiat those actions. Those same three branches Harrowed the North back during the Norman conquests which due to the impacts on my ancestry and our history I fully support.

        Funnily enough my neighbor when I was a child who was like a grandfather to me came from a similar Mormon background to you. He was a descendant of Brigham Young, he was a good man who wished Young was his contemporary so he could’ve killed him.
