I've lived in Montana(born there)and Wyoming. Now live in Northern NV (Reno). Love it here, still get a taste of the 4 seasons, but no long winters, dry climate, tons to do, Lake Tahoe is close, good medical care, a great quilting guild, several quilt stores with loads of classes and lots of help, lots of events year round, several theaters, (lots of plays), chamber and philharmonic orchestras, University and community colleges, lots of programs for seniors. (Sounds like a travel brochure.) After I got my degree, DH found great job in Denver, couldn't wait to get back to Reno and retired here.
