"I’d retire to Montana if it weren’t so darn cold!"

Montana isn't very cold at all. Unless of course you are one who has lived in the warm southern states all your life- a tender foot.

Montana has the best of both worlds, mild winters, nice mountains, good hunting and nice summers. Buy a nice ranch at the foot of the mountains and you're in paradise, close to both mountains and sand.

Oh for God’s sake. And I just bought 40 acres in Nevada to retire on!! Oh well, it’s in the middle of septic, solar, well for water and no real roads country.

Nathan, have you ever been in Montana in the Winter?? Let's say east of the Divide, I have certificate from the Great Falls Tribune, that I survived 28 days in Great Falls in 1968 in which the maximum temperature was -10, and the lowest temperature was -44 degrees. Add in a nice breeze at about 20 MPH, and I think it meets every requirement to be called cold. West of the Mountains is a different matter.
