I will be starting/ending another tour there in June. I have basically lived in Philly all my life. I am getting sick of the very large population, but I still want to have some semblance of city living. Variety of places to go out to. Convenient services that I can walk, ride or take public transit to. (My vehicle is almost 44 months old and just went over 9,900 miles last week.) But also a place that is surrounded closely by nice places to recreate. From downtown Missoula I can ride 22 miles to the start of Rock Creek Rd. and keep heading up into the forest along a blue ribbon trout stream to one of several Forest Service Campgrounds. That's just one example. I would love to be able to spend my weekends like that. There are also other opportunities that require only relatively short drives.
