I am being inteviewed for a position in Hamilton and have a few questions about lifestyle and the surrounding community.
First, I am single and in my late thirties. Is there a community of single professionals in this age bracket and, more specifically, will I ever have a date again?

I realize that I may have to head to Missoula for socialization. Are there any suggested strategies for meeting people and making new friends?
It seems that the area will more than meet my recreational needs. Is there a growing season in which to continue my love of gardening? Exactly how long are those winters?
What about transporation out of state? Is travel a challenge/expensive? For example, what is average airfare to Chicago or the east coast?
Many thanks in advance for your responses!
