I'll have you know we have some of the finest in-door water-pumps in all the Western Territories!

A friend of mine from a previous life has been lobbying me to move to Idaho before TSHTF. If I could only afford to retire, I'd take him up on it. But I'm gainfully employed now and need the income.
Next, he sends me a transcript of Idaho Primary Election Results to prove even the lowest vote candidate in most GOP primaries still gets more votes than all total votes in the Democrat primary. How can a state so big and so geographically dispersed have such uncommonly common sense?

High speed internet, yeah, sure. Next thing you know you’ll be telling us you have indoor plumbing.
Some people ask the craziest questions. By the way, beautiful pictures.
Boy I would move out there in a heartbeat. If I could find an area with snowfall, a growing season and a bit of an economy and little to no leftists! I would be there in a heartbeat. To move to a conservative area would be like living with Freepers.
great pictures, but never figured Idaho would have a dessert. Love waterfalls also. One summer we planned our camping (in Michigan) to find as many waterfalls as we could squeeze in in 10 days...that was 40 years ago and a few we had to hike back to find...those falls in your picture are great..couldn’t figure out at first if it was water or snow....
Employment in Idaho is currently not too good. However, Oregon is anti-business and some good small companies are moving there.
I was hiking in Montana and I got between a grizzly sow and her cubs. I remembered what an Indian friend had told me to do in a situation like this. I took out my wallet and threw it at her saying, “Here, just take the money.” Then I realized that was the advice he gave me if I was ever mugged. She stopped and took all the money and left. Turns out she just wanted to buy some gold to diversify her investments.
By that I mean government still works for the people here, there are actually fewer laws here than anywhere I've ever lived: Ohio, CA, TX, GA, OR and several places in Europe. It was startling to discover. Here in N. ID, we have four seasons, lots of trees, plentiful water, arable land and really nice neighbors. It's a great place to live. Unfortunately, my wife wants to be closer to the grand-babies. ;-(
Yeah, but you live in the city...
I’m sorry but Idaho is presently filled. If you leave your e-mail address I will notify you if there any vacancies.
You would not want to live in Idaho anyway, it is so cold air that the birds freeze in midair. The state only has a one Road and it only goes to the welfare office and back. People so poor here that even the governor lives in the back of a pickup truck. I have to go now because my igloo is being foreclosed on and they’re telling me to get out.
Try again.
Ping.
LOL :O)
I don’t have any friends on the outside.
I don’t even know anyone worth a damn here except you and me.
And I’m beginning to wonder about you.
I'd gotten the sh*ts on our first night out, due to eating at a Golden Corral in St. George, Utah - so I could barely appreciate it all.......but wifey and I both want to revisit eastern Idaho more leisuely - at a time when Vesuvius isn't blowing off.
“...damn liberals spoil one state and then move on to the next..California about 30 years ago was pretty nice place...They just cannot help bringing their democrat/liberal way of living with them.”
That is often claimed, but never proved. If anything, the conservaives leave California, and the liberals stay.
Don’t get me started on the fabulous job Reagan and Bush II did with immigration and the deficit/debt.
IOW “conservatives” in California have little credibility. So when they run here, nobody believes their pitch anymore, so to speak.
awesome pics. thank you so much.
It was only a party joke....
“What’ll it be like?” the city boy asks.
“Oh it’s going to be wild,” the mountain man says. “There’s going to be some drinking, there’s gonna be some fu**in; there’ll be some fightin, and maybe a little dancing.”
“Who all’s coming?” the city boy asks.
“Oh, it’s just going to be you and me.”
I had some great contracts that I could work from my home office in Pocatello until Obama took office. They dried up overnight. The pay for similar work inside Idaho is 2/3 to 1/2 of what I was earning. I had to take a contract position in San Diego to remain employed at my current salary. I’m hoping Obama is booted and some of the work I did in the past will return. Living 900 miles from my home and family for over 3 years is not fun.
