I like Great Falls! I wonder if the saying "once a MT kid--always a MT kid at heart" doesn't apply. We have a neighbor who moved back to the area after he retired because he had fond memories of life here before his family moved away when he was 5!!! I had the privilege of visiting CA recently and was totally in awe of the shear numbers of people!!!! I attached a picture of our area to remind you of the wide open spaces of MT.
