During the later part of my work at Electricraft Stereo, I did a lot of driving between Seattle, WA; Pocatello, ID; and Bozeman and Billings, MT; and often took pictures along the way - this is a nice picture of Sunnybrook Farm and a friendly horse.
There is also often times a lack of capital investment in areas of the west; requiring a quiet self-reliance and a homegrown "bootstrap" mentality in order to get by.
