+1 on finding a place/trusted person to keep your toys. Being Army myself, thanks to ya.

My wife has had multiple opportunities over the years to move back east or to CA for her work. I always reply; "We will have to call every day and I will miss you." But when our least favorite Uncle is the boss, your choices are limited.

I'm currently holding some of my nephew's toys while he is back east with the USMC.

Keep us posted. I would be glad to offer to hold your goods, but I know you don't know me and depending on how long you're back there and what happens in CO, you might have to come to MT to get them.
