rural-ness

i spent some time in howell, which is nestled in a valley near the idaho border, with a population of about 250 people. they turn 100 this summer. so we did a story. it was raining like crazy all day and not a soul was outside. i found my way into two homes -- where I interviewed a dairy farmer and the oldest man living there. they fed me ice cream and talked about the olden days and were just so content living tucked away miles from even the next small town that the rest of the world seemed to fade behind the foggy curtain of clouds. video is here.
