I'm sure she'll get around to it later. But, Mama, don't you believe her when she says it's because she lives there and I don't! :^)

An interesting article about the wolves in Idaho.....since everyone knows how much we love wolves and other assorted furry critters around here....

High Country News February 26, 2001


Return of the natives
In Idaho, the Nez Perce have become the first tribe to oversee the statewide recovery of an endangered species, the gray wolf, an experience that is energizing the tribe's own political and spiritual recovery.Read More

Hi back at you Dixie Sass. It has turned out to be a beautiful sunny, not to hot day here in Memphis.

Now, Cupcake, you know that isn't true. Think of all the lunches we could have together if you lived closer.... :-)

Norhtern Idaho is a beautiful place to live. Can't say the winters are wonderful but then I don't hang around too much in the winter time. Do I Arghy?

Nice photos PI, makes me homesick. I have a ranch in eastern Idaho, near the Montana border. As soon as I get it paid off, it will be home again.

Have you ever had brunch at the Hotel on Lake Coeur d' Alene? Just about the best I've ever had.

Cheers

But isn't it lovely there with the snow, and romantic fires in the fireplaces, and all the Rocky Mountain oysters a body could crave? :^)

Thanks mama_bear for this wonderul tribute to a wonderful, "Gem" of a state, and thanks to you and AuntB for the ping.

We have lived here for the last eight years, but my wife and her family were from here, and so ever since our marriage almost 27 years ago, we have spent a lot of time here in the state.

Here's couple of links that relate to my current work with the government securing and protecting some of the more remote infrastructure located in the Gem State, the pics at these links will give all a closer view of some of those beautiful, remote areas here.

It's the winters that would keep me from relocating there (that and the fact that I've heard Californians aren't liked much in Idaho - can't say as I blame them). I don't think this ol' bear could survive a winter in Northern Idaho. But otherwise, it looks like a wonderful place to live. The air looks so clean. You know, us Californians aren't used to being able to see all the way to the horizon. LOL

Thanks for stopping by our thread, SeaDragon and Argh.

Oh, I am so glad you came by, Jeff! And thank you for pinging your FRiends and for the links. There are some gorgeous photos on those links! But it looks awfully cold!

Yep, the huckleberry BBQ ribs are awesome.... OK, I think you just made my Sunday brunch plans for me.

In certain of those areas, from about now (give or take three weeks) until late May or early June, it's going to be cold.

But that's part of Idaho!

Yes, to all of those things but I have to tell you I don't have a fireplace to be romantic in front of. There is also a lot to be said for the romantic sunsets in the Caribbean....

Well that depends on the Californian.......

The winters do suck, I have to give it that.
