I am looking at relocating to Idaho, I do not have a preference on location, but I would like to be near the forest, rather than the plains. I am more concerned with finding work. By trade I do industrial automation/millwright in food plants. Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated
Wallace is another beautiful place. I have a few weeks to decide.
Well, one of my wife's friends and her husband moved there from Arizona and they are both engineers who have drunk deeply of the MSM Kool-Aid. My wife essentially stopped communicating with them after November, 2020.
One word for ya. Inversion. I hated winters in the Treasure Valley for that alone. Other than the inversions, winter wasn't bad. Of course, I lived in Nampa, so the inversion also smelled of sugar beet processing. Which smelled worse than just about anything but rotting flesh.
There is a Ski Area...
I am also looking at restarting a side business that Washington HB1240 destroyed for me. Building high quality, high precision rifles. Cant do it in Washington anymore, Idaho is honestly the last free state in the country. Texas and Alaska once held that crown, not anymore.
Californication.
The housing market is grim in north Idaho but I hear ProtectOurFreedom is renting out a room in exchange for clearing snow from his very long driveway all winter :) 😊/
Paper mill? Nothing is more complex than making toilet paper. 8,000 pound rolls at 4,000 meters per minute. One every eight minutes. Then it has to be converted to consumer rolls and packaged. Port Townsend has a great mill. Jenks, and Soldenifil in Idaho. $40 /hour to start as a millwright, mechanic, electrician, or boiler operator.
If I were moving to Idaho that would be my choice. BTW I’m from a red state in the South so I wouldn’t screw up your politics.
As for me, when I hear university town and /or state crapital in the same description for a small to mid size city, I don't hold out much hope. e.g. Austin, Olympia, Salem,Eugene, Cheyenne....
CDA Rifle Club
Connect with a few of the listed club officers, one of them is bound to be a real estate agent.
They will roll out the red carpet for a man with your talents.
And they will give you the full scoop.
The range is a nice one, founded in 1951:
All that said, CDA doesn't have quite the shitlib infestation that Boise does. Open carry is no big deal, so that should give you some idea of the tone around here.
You will be well received here in north Idaho.
too many libs in Boise. go all the way north.
My daughter and SIL just moved from their gorgeous home on 20 acres in Priest River because so many people were moving in. City council now allowing 5-acre parcels, so it’s getting crowded there. So, if you don’t mind small land and dead animals from city people not slowing for deer, etc in road, Priest River is a possibility. Probably not as pricy as Coeur d’Alene.
I worked in a paper mill for a summer job. The stench is awful. I pity someone that works in a place like that for a living.
Hahahaha your snowcat is your car in Wallace during the winter.
Do you have a visa to enter the US?
Bring your own mate?
CDA isnt bad still. its a city, so people that live there like services such as garbage pickup, snow plowing etc. That also raises taxes. CDA is still far more conservative than Boise..F twin falls area, thats were the libs all moved to, and north of Twin Falls too.
