Livin in Montana and lovin it here, but that

All of those places sounded nice as well.  I transcribe for a company in Maryville, Tennessee (just outside of Knoxville), and that seems like a nice area too.

I'll give you some pros and cons of Montana.  Pros:  Very low violent crime rates, low cost of living, no sales tax, no real natural disasters (except forest fires & avalanches in the mountains and an occasional small tornado), beautiful mountains, lakes, and rivers with plenty of outdoor activities, friendly people, less than a million people in the whole state.

Cons:  Very long, very cold winters, so unless you like skiing or snowboarding a lot or just really like snow you would probably hate it.  There's no really big cities here, so we don't get a lot of good bands touring here.  We have bad forest fires this year, so it's even smoky in the cities, but it is usually not this bad.  There are plenty of other cons, but I can't think of them at the moment.  Overall I'm happy here.

Good luck with your decision and try to think it through and plan very well before making any quick decisions!

this film was shot completely in Montana and you get to see/feel so much of the environment you almost felt like you were there.....that part of the movie was worth seeing it...forget the plot

not a bad plot though either, if'n ya like Jack Nicholson.......*lol*....which is why I went actually....Jack in the 70s....terrific to some folks, not  to some others (no flaming to commence here please).  I just thought if you could rent this movie, you'd enjoy it for the scenery. 

Have a GREAT time on what sounds like a SPECTACULAR trip.
