He lives in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. My grandson was asking me about doing this recently. He's 23 and still hasn't decided on a career path but knows he doesn't want to be indoors all day. He's pretty cool with his own company but I'm not sure he'd like this sort of thing. We've talked to him about becoming a park ranger or the like and I think he'd be happy doing that.
