Please don't be offended, but "Montana was discovered" approx 30 years ago!!!! I've seen Significant migration into the state in the last 30 years....admitttedly places like Bozeman, Whitefish, Polson, Big Fork and the Bitterroot have seen most of their growth since about 1985.

The phrase:" THe Last Best Place" has been replaced with: "What used-to-be The Last Best Place."

If you love it now.......you would REALLY have been nuts about it 30 years ago. The Type, Amount and Effect of the changes since the late 1970's are difficult to describe to someone who was not here in the late '70's.

No offense intended........just being factual............"Carpe Diem"

No offense taken of course! I understand many people talk about the old days-heck I was talking to a gentleman who said he moved here in 93 and it sounded like another city "way back" then.
Anyway I'll go back to my shovelling, what has it been about twenty inches so far? Luckily my husband got a beautiful buck last weekend or else he'd be out in it! whew.

Safety is a real factor. I don't recall EVER feeling threatened when I lived there (12 years, and I'm one of those sorts who enjoys walking around at night).

Reziac, Bozeman doesn't get to a minus 65 before windchill! And I know that you know that!

Coldest temperature I saw there living there for 5 years was -32.
