You are right, 45 minutes in the city could be just to get across town...traffic nightmares.....our 45 minutes are a relaxing 30 mile commute with little traffic and awesome scenery.
I also work in crude, you can not beat the pay and you are not limited to just working the rigs or driving truck....there are unlimited job opportunities here!
The only problems we seem to have is so many people are coming here to work, there is a housing shortage for renters. If you are in the market to buy, there is more availability. Remember though, 20 acres here is considered a small lot, NOT a farm, you have to have at least 5000 acres to be even considered a SMALL farm!!!
Thats why my "job" is managing our 2 rental houses! I had no idea you worked in Crude, thats neat. You are also right about the scenery during the commutes. About 65% of my trips in to town I see deer or antelope. I grew up in MT. My Dad made his living working for the railroad as does my sons father. Farming is huge in the community I live in now. Our town is currently looking for a DR. Any DRs on BYC looking to move to MT?
My DH, has been with the RR for 17 years, that was the main reason we relocated here, he wanted to stop the traveling with the larger RR and settle down with a shortline!
I was also thinking about buying a couple small homes in town, there is never a problems to get them rented out! It would be great extra income.

Make a huge change and come on out to the NW here in Oregon. You get a bit of everything Mountains, coast, & High dessert, sure we get a bit of rain here in Portland but winters are mild, summers are excellent. I would suggest Bend, Lapine, or closer to Portland a little town called Estacada, or Colton, Eagle Creek. Further south Albany, Roseburg, Myrtle Creek, Grants Pass, keep your options open.
I have a friend that retired somewhere just outside of Knoxville. She says it's the best thing she and hubby ever did. I've never been there, I've just seen the pics she likes to show off. She knows I would love to live in the country.

You are so right......less people makes Montana so much more a desirable place to live than Columbus! If you come here, you will never want to go back to the RAT RACE!
My DH is a software architect. The only place that would even have a position available for him would probably be Pocatello. Pocatello being nearest to where he grew up in MT. My FIL has advanced degrees and sells computer equipment. His wife is a well-respected attorney. They live in a trailer. About half of the homes in that town are trailers. We walked the town's main drag. It took about an hour to walk from the house, down to the end of town, back up, look at the river, get a cup of coffee and walk back to the house. I'd go mad living like that. This was the county seat.
IME tiny places like that are either really good to live in or really awful. And I am not a fan of rural schools. I have had kids in rural schools, and I have worked in rural schools. In general, quality was low. Being as the tax base is small.
And I am really not knocking where you live. I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic region, in the hills and valleys of the Appalachian Mts yet only a three-hour drive to the ocean or to the Great Lakes. I have family in MT, NM, CO. It's just so dry and brown for so much of the year. just seems so foreign.....

WOW, I am not sure what town you were in, but most of the homes here are not trailers, infact, there sre very few here.
As for our rural schools, I can almost guarrentee that our tax base for our schools in Richland county is probably higher then yours. We have some of the best rural schools in the country, and a very high percent of the graduating classes continue on to higher education. As I said earlier, our unemployment rate here is less then 2%, not many places can boost about that.

I am not sure I understand what living in a trailer has to do with anything but, we own 2 houses in 2 separate towns and we CHOOSE to live in a trailer because it is in the country. We can not build on this land yet as it is part of my FIL estate and not legally ours. We love our Paradise on the Prairie!

After looking at those pics of Sidney, Montana..think I will move there! I love snow!
I live in a very small agricultural town in Florida. In the middle of orange groves and fern farms.
Very nice winters but wow does it get hot in the summer. so humid. cost of living is good but hard to find jobs. We are located an hour from Jacksonville, Orlando and Daytona. the majority of homeowners live in older homes or trailers. new houses just not being built right now. housing slump. and the down side to this area is that there are no townhouses and not many apartments. The land costs are still alot lower than everywhere else though.
beautiful scenery if you like tropics..lots of palm trees and springs/lakes for fishing.
My dream is to move to a very country/mountainous area. in a cabin, snowed in with nothing but my geese, chickens and make lots of quilts!

I think there is or was a program that matched up docs with areas that needed doctors. I can't remember the name of it! I'll have to look. I know I have heard people talking about it. When they were looking for jobs.
