...one of my best friends lives in Hot Springs, MT...I am headed out his way this spring to finally plant my feet on Montana soil, he swears I will never want to leave once I get there...

I used to go hiking in the Rockies in Montana each summer with a youth group when I was in high school. It was a great experience for a wet-behind-the-ears kid. 'specially one who weighed about as much as the pack she had to take up on her back. Scrawny little thing that I was. Got more exercise during that couple of weeks than I got all year long.
