While this website is not equipped for mountain climbing, here we provide you with the opportunity to speak directly to a Big Mountain. Better yet, this mountain will speak back to you. Awe' has traveled extensively throughout the American West and has mountain of knowledge about all things Montana. Ask Awe and if your question makes Awe' look good, we'll post it here for all to read.

Radon gas is at extremely high levels in most of Wyoming and large parts of Montana, and northern Idaho. It generally is of little concern unless you live in a basement or older house without good ventilation. The only personal knowledge of someone dieing because of radon gas involved a Casper, Wyoming lady that died of lung cancer at the age of 78. She had never smoked or lived/worked in polluted or dusty areas, and the doctors attributed her death to living in a basement apartment house for over thirty-years.

When building or buying a house in the Triad, always be sure to have it checked for radon gas. Meters for such checking are available everywhere in the area.
