How cool! It's interesting finding out who all has ties to various regions up there. On another forum, a friend of mine told me his family has several acres in Eureka that the parents are going to retire to in a few years.
The plan is certainly to expand Geocaching on a grand scale there. Since it hasn't really been addressed yet, I've already decided to take up the torch with the city officials and will start to pursue a positive Geocaching relationship with the parks people, and hopefully lead to Geocaching-friendly policies. I haven't even left Arizona yet, and I already have plans for a 6-stage multi that will result in 6 individual finds, and another 10 or so around town. The center of the state will also be repeated there, and I've already mapped it out.
I will certainly check out the brewery. There is a very well established group in Missoula (MOOG), and I want to attend one of their events sometime in the near future. Skydiver is also from that country, and I'd really like the chance to meet him. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to his campout this summer (Human Geocache 3D-GCHZ6N). Jeep upgrades will happen within the first week of being there, and I'll be about a month late. On the upside, I'll be in town in time for the hill climb, an international event and the largest in existence (

Brian.........Good luck to you and your family on your move to Billings, Montana. It's always a big decision to make a move like that, and start a new chapter in one's life. I understand your feelings about moving back to the mountains, as I used to live in the Bitterroot Valley (Hamilton) in Southwestern Montana, and still have family there. Being as I work outside most of the time, I found the weather in Az. pretty inviting as I got older. If you put as much time and effort into the geocaching community in Red Rock Country, as you have in Az. , I can see Billings being the hotbed of geocaching in Montana. BTW, if you get over to Missoula, stop at Big Sky Brewing and check out some of their brews. Take care, and have a smooth transition..........................Flatiron & Mrs. Wrangler
