We came thru Missoula in 1960 and I fell in love with it immediately. Always wished I could move there. Someone told me "there are two seasons in Montana--winter and July!"
My then-husband went to the barber shop for a haircut and was very impressed when a fellow came in and asked the barber if he could go hunting. Barber said Soon as I finish this guy. My husband was mighty impressed! Sounded like the ideal life.
We stayed in Great Falls overnight on our way to Alaska in our motorhome in 1995, saw Lewis & Clark sign outside the campground. Visited Great Falls, took a boat trip around Flathead Lake in 1995 on our way to Alaska, stopped in Glacier Park--Montana is indeed very beautiful.
Some friends from church retired out there, built a home in Missoula and absolutely love it. The wife said "If you die first, I'm going back to Newtown." Her husband said "If you die first, I'm staying here--I'm already in Heaven"! Great line!

It's ALL true...!!!
[except that there are two seasons in Montana....Winter and "Road Under Destruction"....hee hee]
I've been here for 12 years...reminds me of what Colorado...where I lived for 28 years....USED TO BE like.
And, in all the places I've been, THIS place has the highest per capita serving of GOOD people bar none...!!!
