EUREKA â Montana s border communities face more COVID-19 uncertainty with the imminent arrival of another travel season but they re also pulling together to keep business going.
âWe went from being a middle-of-the-road community to being two end-of-the-road communities.â
Lincoln County Commissioner Josh Letcher says that separation between counties is especially acute in the Tobacco Valley, where the mix of people from Eureka, and the small towns north of the border remains on full stop by Canadian border restrictions.
