The real question is, where is the most expensive place to drink? It's close to Bozeman.

This week Custer Gallatin National Forest will be submitting a preliminary damage assessment package to Federal Highways as part of the Emergency Relief Funding for Federally Owned Roads package. Preliminary damage assessments are estimated at 20-million-dollars and a portion of that amount will be submitted as part of the emergency package. Helicopter reconnaissance flights were completed Monday over the impacted sections of Forest, but ground crews will continue over much of the flood damaged roads, trails, and recreation facilities as additional damages are expected to be found. Some facilities will remain closed for the season.
