The ManFlesh and I are moving ourselves, our 2 young dogs, and Bigfoot from Portland, Oregon (pop. 593,820) to Florence*, Montana (pop. 765). Our Portland life includes a 2800 sq ft craftsman bungalow within walking distance of tons of great restaurants and bars, a handful of grocery stores, two hardware stores, three pet stores and at least two tattoo parlors and guitar shops.

Our Florence life will include an 1800 sq ft house within walking distance of our greenhouse, a too-be-determined formerly-chicken shelter, 1000s of acres of National Forest, some great-looking hiking trails, and the shed where our new-used ATV with snow plow attachment is stored. We will drive into town to pick up our mail at the Post Office.

Ahead of us is a month of packing, sorting, purging, selling, visiting and then moving across three state lines. I think the blogging will really start when we get there and I hope to clean up the look soon, too.*A 30-minute drive south of Missoula (pop. 67,290)
