Congrats on the move.
I love Montana. When we go back for a visit we will have to look you up.

Just Moved from TX to MT!
Hello Forum. It's been a while, but we've been busy with moving and selling the house to make a big change (for the better!).
(I know we weren't horribly missed--what, no "Where did FamilyJ go?" threads!).
Anyway, the FamilyJ crew loves it here. And, the 4-day, 1600-mile trip is the FJ was like riding in a Lexus--no complaints from the wife, 2 kids, or the dog. And, the FJ loves it here with all the hills and twisty roads.
As far as mileage, the Scanguage showed between 22.5 and 25 MPG where is was relatively flat (TX and CO), and that's with a full load and a cartop carrier. Mileage suffered outside of Denver because of the hills (and the gasoline we filled up with in Colorado was really, really is lousy). Last part of the trip (from Buffalo, WY to MT) was still in the 19 to the low 20's MPG, but that's with a lot of hills.
Once we got into northern CO, the ride was absolutely beautiful, especially for a group of flat-landers like us.
Thanks for stopping by!
(PS...I'm not in the pic because someone had to hold the camera...!)

Congrats on the move!...Montana is a great place to live...I grew up in Great Falls...now live in Utah.
Summers are short there, and winters are long and cold. That is probably the only thing I don't miss living up there.
