The scary thing is that the east coast's overly dense population pattern is expanding westward.
Sorry to steal a little of your post here:
nwmntbiker: I live in DC(near actually) as well. I am also nearing retirement and am thinking of heading out west. I spend many vacations out west, actually grew up in Utah I just want to ask you how difficult it is to make the move. I know friends and family will make the move very difficult. I do miss the west though and would mind spending some time out there. City life has it's attractions but.....
West Glacier, very nice. I am planning a bike tour that will start in East Glacier bike through Glacier then leave from West Glacier. I hope to take the train from Dc to Chicago to East Glacier.
