LOL, that's what I'm afraid of..mine will want to retire there...it is just too solitary out there. It takes about 10 minutes to get from our land to the hwy. And it is a rugged way of life, even with a house and all the amenities. We are definitely in the wilderness. One of our neighbors has some adopted/rescued wolves, you can hear them howling all the time. We love Kalispell area, have driven through there to go to Glacier, Waterton, and even up to Banff one year. It is really beautiful, but I'm with you...a little further south would be nice.
We spoke on the CB a few years ago, you were kind enough to send me a bag of locally roasted coffee. My computer died, life got difficult, and I abandoned the Disboards for about 2 years. I have a new computer now, and things are going a little easier....I still remember how nice you were to send me that yummy coffee...
