Your question is way too general for anyone to reply with useful information. Better to ask specific questions.

Trees. Snow. Old mines. Good pie.

Maybe I can help with a few questions of my own...Any traffic lights? How are the schools? Is it working class town or is the a bunch or retired people that dont want kids around? Is there a social life? Bars, pubs, coffee joints... Is hunting and fishing still acceptibe or is there an influx of tree huggers and granola eaters? Is it remote enough to get away yet friendly enough to make new relationships. Just a few questions that may get the ball rolling.

First off if you call a bar a "pub" you'll get glared at ! Lots of logging hunting, fishing and riding ATVs around Lincoln. It's right on a well traveled highway so I wouldn't really call it remote but if you want a well supplied supermarket you're out of luck. Missoula is the best choice for city shopping. Tree huggers and granola eaters don't dominate the town scene at all. It's really just another typical small Montana town. I know there is at least one traffic light there. I'm assuming by saying "tree huggers and granola eaters" you really mean hard leftists and hippie types. I always thought that was weird because wanting to protect the environment and eating granola is something that many right leaning people do too. Lincoln can get quite a bit of snow and unless you are very familiar with small towns in Montana I would visit in both seasons before packing up and moving there. (both seasons meaning winter and road construction) ! I've spent more than a couple of weekends there for local events and the folks are very friendly there, however some dude strolling into town with dreadlocks and tie-dyed shirt may get a few glares and dirty looks.

Lincoln is a beautiful place with green trees all around that will soon be turning red.

Whenever I think of Lincoln I either think of The Unabomber or that creepy hotel on the west end of town. Leeper's? I think that's what it's called. It's probably not a bad place to stay, it just looks like a good spot to shoot a horror movie.

I live in Missoula (about 80 miles from Lincoln). I've never really visited Lincoln, but I've driven through/bought gas there many times. It seems like a nice little Montana mountain town.
