For the past couple of weeks, on my Facebook page, some of my friends are upset over the price of hotels in Bozeman. In fact, I've seen it so much lately, I thought I'd do my own research on the situation.

Looks Like My Friends Are Right About BozAngles Hotel Prices

Honestly, I thought they must be going down on a game weekend or something, but when I see it like this, Bozeman hotel prices ARE higher. Seriously higher, actually. I wasn't expecting that. Even though LIVING in Bozeman seems to be the latest fad among the ultra rich, I thought they still had sense enough not to price regular ole' Montanans out of a weekend at the Museum of the Rockies. Mark me wrong. Again.
