I really like Missoula. The location is excellent for so much exploring: One of my favorite towns any where, Hamilton, is just south of Missoula.

Only one suggestion on retirement: we are all very different in our initial expectations and approaches, don't be stubborn in adjusting the plan!

Again, very cool and congratulations!

Banana belt. That's funny!

Yep, flexibility is key. I spent the first half a life getting stuff, climbing the ladder, etc, the second half is going to be to get rid of it. I'm pretty excited about a modest (and hopefully long) lifestyle.
