As long as we're going to hell, remember to order the shorts with a rise long enough to pull them up over your navel and a white belt to go along with them.

It's funny reading a thread I started back in 2005 go straight to hell

There is a down side to the similar thread reminder feature…

Or, it could be viewed as an upside! It _is_ more interaction now isn’t it.
I mean Waldo even commented two or three times! lol
Now if you can get the other 98,000 members off the couch and into the cockpit.

it’s a great feature 92% of the time….

My daughter moved to Missoula to live and work in 2022. She had graduated from U of M several years prior and returned back to our home state. She had a very difficult time finding an affordable apartment, starting @ $1500 a month. Look into university housing. She was amazed at how expensive housing had gotten and how much things had changed there in just a few years.
Good luck.

Al, you’re not wrong. No sure affordable housing is available period. Roommates would be a given but even so not sure if there any good choice.
If your daughter wants help paying rent I’ll send my daughter. lol.

So I’ve been back from Montana less than 24 hrs and I’m ready to go back.

Aside from the 99-103 afternoon temps I could see myself really enjoying both Montana and the Dakotas.

It was a 2500 mile / 42 hr drive with two cars, three people and a mostly patient cat, lol. No room for anything else because, you know, women in their early 20’s aren’t minimalists.

But had great weather and it was probably as green as the west gets annually, so I really enjoyed the trip. Only way to make it better would have been 500 feet higher with the window open.

Still bewilders me when I meet people that have never left the state or county they were born in.

The world is a beautiful place and every adventure is worth it.

PB, glad your back safely, remember the route grad school like everything in your child's life goes by quickly.

Hmmm I seem to remember a guy in a bearhawk commenting on the “beauty” of Kansas as he was flying over. It’s ok. We midwesterners are used to being flown over…

I agree with your observations on travel and Montana and Missoula. We’re getting excessively hot in the afternoons now. 50 degree changes morning to evening are common. 56 as I write this and will be close to 100 later. It’s still green but that can’t last long with this heat.

My brother and I flew to Iowa and back 2 weeks ago. I don’t remember ever seeing so much green for 1200 miles. Or so many wind turbines. An 8 hour flight in the Cessna or 24 hours of driving. Gotta love GA.
