Looking for an adventurous and hilarious read that will transport you to the wild beauty of Montana? Look no further than Four Miles West of Nowhere: A City Boy's First Year in the Montana Wilderness. This Pythonesque travelog by John Phillips will have you laughing out loud and gasping in awe at the stunning scenery and wildlife he encounters along the Continental Divide.
Phillips doesn't hold anything back in his depiction of his retirement journey from Michigan to remote Darby, Montana. With a population of just 475 and no Starbucks or traffic lights, Darby is a far cry from city life. But that's exactly what makes it so fascinating. From broken snow plows to electricity famines, this book is full of unpredictable and entertaining obstacles that Phillips must navigate.
But it's not just the challenges of rural living that make Four Miles West of Nowhere such a captivating read. Phillips also delves into heartfelt ruminations about fly fishing, guns, survival, and the unique dress code of Darby (pre-owned and grubby). His wicked wit brings to life the eccentricities of his neighbors, the joys of hunting and fishing, and the daily struggles of living in a community so deeply connected to nature.
Don't just take our word for it. William Jeanes, former Publisher of Road & Track and author of The Road to Pickletown, raves about Phillips' book, calling it wildly funny and praising his ability to address human frailties and environmental missteps with humor and insight.
If you're looking for a laugh-out-loud adventure that will transport you to the beauty and quirks of small-town Montana, you can't afford to miss Four Miles West of Nowhere. Get your copy today and be prepared to be entertained from start to finish.
