I live in Bozeman! I just happen to run across your post. Glad you enjoyed your visit up to Moonlight and Big Sky. We live in an awesome place. There are a ton of people who have Tundras here....and am really surprised there is not many people from Montana on this site. I think there are only a couple. If you want to send me cards, I'd be happy to start advertising.
well not sure if this counts, but we have property south of Anaconda in Mt Hagin area, Picking up my 2006 dc in Phx on Saturday. Property is 8 miles off the paved road above 7,000 ft elevation.
Live in NW arizona.(Kingman)
Man, you had to bring up Montana. I was born and raised there and miss it terribly. I lived in Whitefish for my last 18 years there and skied Big Mountain a ton every year. I love that place and it will always be my real home. I go back every summer to see family and friends.
I have lived here in central Florida for the last 8 years which is really okay if you consider I have never seen it snow here so no snow tires EVER and I have only seen actual frost on a windshield three different days in 8 years. In other words, the winter months here are AWESOME! Summer is a different story though. 100 degree heat and 99% humidity, tons of thunderstorms and those nasty old hurricanes.
I wish I could be a 46 year old snow bird and summer in Montana and winter in Florida! Well, I'll just keep playing the lottery..........

Hey Phil, edit your post and take out all the good stuff about MT we don't need any more people moving here. Whitefish is incredible, you are lucky to have lived there. My wife and I are would like to move to Kalispell to be closer to her family but we have not got to that point quite yet.
I see very few Montana members on here, and have put a number of notes on Tundras when seeing them in parking lots. There are almost as many Tundras here as there are any other truck, which makes it even more surprising there isn't a large number of us from MT active on TS.
If anyone lives pretty close to MT and wants to sell there Tundra it would be worth advertising in one of the papers. Used Tundras are hard to come by and sell for top dollar. New and used Tundras are in huge demand.
No sales tax is great. We get socked with high property and income tax, but I'd rather pay that than sales tax.
There is a pretty funny saying about Montana that was pretty accurate a few years back; Montana...home to the Unibomber, the Freeman, No Speed Limits, and very little else.
