No, but I lived there 3 years. Wolf Point is on the Ft. Peck Indian Reservation and like most reservations, there is a lot of poverty. That section of MT. looks more like N. Dakota. You have to go farther west to get into mountains and what most people think of when they hear Montana. Big Sky they call Montana. When all the trees are gone, the sky does look big. LOL. Actually, Montana is fine…a little too cold in winter. The mountains are nice. Red Lodge would be one place to visit in MT. Stay at the Rock Creek Lodge. Gorgeous setting, small town and entrance to the Bear Toooth Pass which ends 60 miles away in Cooke City at one entrance to Yellowstone. The biggest problem I had with Montana was state income taxes. While you have to look at total tax liabilities to get the total picture, Montana has the highest state income tax in the nation. Another nice place to visit in MT. is Boseman. Nice downtown area, and the Museum of the Rockies has nice, but smallish dinosaur displays. Strange about MT’s high taxes, cause neighboring states like Wyoming and S. Dakota have no state income tax. I moved out to escape the taxes mostly. Texas, where I live has no state income tax either.

May I assume that you are not from the Wolf Point Chamber of Commerce?

7000 dead in wolf point would be a shocker…especially since there are about 3000 people in the entire town.

The problem I had with Wolf Point and most of the small towns in Mt. is that they have smoking in almost all the restaurants (not McDonalds though), but just walking into the lobby of a motel will make you smell like smoke. Lots of smokers. There are also almost no trees in that section of Montana and unless you like poverty, almost nothing to do, no trees, no mountains or hills and cigarette smoke, the best thing would be to take the Amtrack to Wolf Point, get out, look around a couple of hours, then get back on the next possible train and leave.

Thanks for the invitation. I have been checking out Wolf Point and it looks like a charming town–cold, but charming. Kind of reminds me of the small ranching community I came from in Texas. Maybe I’ll see you at the Wild Horse Stampede.

Wolf Point, Montana, is fine and well today. The sky is bright blue and it feels like
Spring. Wolf Point may have only 3,000 people in its city limits, but it is the hub of northeastern Montana with 10,000 redsidents in the commuting area—many ranch-ettes and happy families. Come join us!!

I’m happy to report your town is and has been perfectly safe. I am copying to this the disclaimer at the top of the post you read. And I hope you will “stumble” on my site again.

NOTE: The following post and others relating to the Wolf Point meteor were part of a conspiracy. Yes, you conspiracy wonks, this is your day. The participants were a group of bloggers across the country (all the way to China) who decided a week ago to recreate a high tech War of the Worlds. Our creative guru issued press releases and we took off on them in our own ways. So it’s back to normal now — that is until the spy satellite crashes to earth in the near future. Hey guys, that one is real.

As a Wolf Point resident, and understanding that there are only 2500 in this small town, I seem to have missed the meteor fall, and wonder where 7000 people came from, so they could be killed in the blast?

Like, what the hell are you people talking about? Feel free to write, as I probly won’t stumble on this website again, as I just did.

I’m a bit shook up as well. I hope more info is forthcoming.

So do I. Have heard nothing more. Checking for anything on the web I stumbled on a report that in Misoula, MT Democrats are slipping in the caucuses as Republicans to skewer the election. That would have been important to me before the meteor hit. I have a feeling there won’t be caucus there…..
