I got skills baby!
McCall is where I’m thinking. Unbelievable how beautiful it is.
Course the food is the same everywhere: Steak and Potatoes? or would you like Steak and Potatoes?
No Kulture and nothing but Whitey’s but, I’ll pretend I’m back in my small hometown of 600 in Oklahoma and go fishing, hunting, camping, swimming, water skiing, snow skiing(if they ever open that ski lodge again), waving to complete strangers as I drive by with a smile, live peacefully among others who are pretty much happy with God, their families and well....life.
I can swing a hammer, use a saw, do some plumbing, I’m right there when someone needs help.
It’ll be great, with no friction and real quiet, the way I like it.
FWIW...you'll be competing will illegals for that variety of semi-skilled labor and well established businesses for work where a licensed professional is required. It's a right to work state, so you don't have to compete with unions, but they are present. Construction workers spend a lot of time doing something other than construction outside of Summer months. Road construction tasks are always going during good weather periods.
We have most of the decent amenities in the Pocatello area. Idaho Falls is decent too. Getting to food and fuel is easier in those places.
Many of my neighbors work at Idaho National Labs near Arco. That means catching a bus at 5:30 AM and returning to the bus stop at 5:30 PM M-F. 15-20 hours a week commuting to a decent paying job. In town jobs are restaurant, retail, "hospitality".
Yes, it is nice there. I’m 2 hours south in Boise. Let me know when you are coming up. I’ve been here 10 years, moved from Chicago. Wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
