Photographing the Milky Way!

http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/images/stories/2012/nov/reeder/lead.jpg

With the art show coming up, and trying to find a picture that might actually stand a chance at being at least entered, I've been in search of some ideas of a picture I might be able to take in the Billings area, that would be unique! While looking over Octobers issue of Outdoor Photographer, I came across an article on getting shots of the Milky Way! I immediately fell in love! The galactic fog (if that's what you want to call it) I find to be such an amazing look, as well as the darkness beneath it. I think this is going to be a fun challenge, finding a spot to try and make a picture like this(making sure it's dark enough), as well as trying to figure out where to see the Milky Way in the sky, and what time of night to do it! Reading how to do this in Nature Photographer as well as on a Photography blog, I realize it really isn't all that hard! I just need to get a camera body who's ISO can be set to much higher setting then my camera [ um...Dave? :) ].
