A bit more arid and a bit more wind than Bozeman, but it's ok. I have distant cousins who moved there from northern Idaho (St. Marie's area), they seem to like it ok. Why do you ask?
Thought it was closer to Townsend. But been a while since I have been on that stretch of road. Well the last time was to Gold Rush but it had been ages before that.grizzh8r wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 9:01 pmA bit more arid and a bit more wind than Bozeman, but it's ok.

And way closer to Butte than Townsend. Maybe you're thinking of Three Forks?
That stretch between Townsend and Helena along Canyon Ferry is developing nice and still fairly cheap. It would be far more ideal than anything near Whitehall in my personal opinion. And now that the highway is four lanes from Wheat Montana to Townsend, the drive is a breeze.RickRund wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 12:00 amThought it was closer to Townsend.

Patti was looking at areas in Montana with reasonably priced property. And her Sister is in Townsend. Acreage is pretty reasonable.

The Wheat Montana turnoff is by Three Forks. From Whitehall, you go over some hills then drop in to Three forks - alternatively you can go on the old highway along the Jefferson to Three Forks, past Lewis and Clark caverns. To the West, you go over the pass to Butte. The highway to the north goes to Boulder, and the Highway to the south goes up the Jefferson valley to Dillon.
Golden Sunlight Mine is mostly in reclamation and has been for a number of years.catbooster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 3:44 pmThe Wheat Montana turnoff is by Three Forks.

Whitehall is in the Jefferson Valley. It's fairly open right around the town but not too far to the mountains. It seems like a nice little town but I haven't really spent much time there. I understand the mine is closing. I'm not sure what, if anything, will take it's place in the local economy.
Patti's sister, her Hubby, their Daughter and her family live in Townsend. Years ago we looked at property in Grassy Mountain. Loved it at Grassy Mountain but winters there are miserable. Patti's sis was at Grassy for along time and now they have a house just below the quarry/mill at Townsend...Prodigal Cat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 11:19 amMy sisters live in Townsend and they love it. 30 min to Helena, 45 to Boz. It probably has a bit more to offer than Whitehall in terms of the town but not much. Canyon Ferry/Missouri River is right there.
