Clearwater River, Orofino ID April 2005

I love Idaho. Were it not so remote, I’d consider moving there.
On the other hand… in today’s world, is “remoteness” all that bad? Hmmm…

I require remote. The remoter the better. People are a pain in the ass. Every.Single.Time.
Me and wild assed animals understand each other.
If you try to eat me, I will try to eat you, so just leave me alone and I will do likewise.
I haven’t traveled out West really at all. A couple of trips to Las Vegas hardly count. I’m afraid that I’ll go out West, enjoy it and I won’t return home

Visit commie, Colorado. That should cure you of wanting to move west.
I fully intended to move to Idaho in 1977.
Very little of thte state is available for purchase, between FedGov land ownership and the indian tribes. A lot of what is for sale is expensive, prime vacation land.
Admittedly beautiful.
I ended up next door in Spokane, Washington, which is much like a picture postcard. I lived there until 1987, and saw the writing on the wall. Eastern Washington was a red state paradise, but Seattle, like Chicago, overwhelmed the sane part of the state.
Remote from what? We’ve been in Idaho almost 15 years now and would never go anywhere else. Anything we want in terms of “civilization” is at most 15 minutes away; better than that, an hour or less in any direction and we can be in real-by-God wilderness, desert or mountain or forest. If that’s remote, give me more.
What he said. I love Idaho, almost anywhere that’s not in the southern flatlands a.k.a. potato fields.
I would move there in a hearbeat, if i could bring Texas winter with me. 3 winters in Wisconsin taught me I’m not a winter wonderland kind of guy. Snowblowing is for the birds.
