Where abouts in Idaho? We talk about throwing it in and moving there quite frequently, actually. I figure with all the jobs leaving the country anyway, I will make no difference where I live soon anyway. LOL

We're in the northern Idaho panhandle, about 25 miles north of Coeur d'Alene. Property's still a genuine bargain around here, but you can get even more spectacular - and even more remote places just south of the Canadian border. The Moyie Valley, for example, is absolutely breathtaking, but it's a fair haul to town if you need a jar of peanut butter. Especially in the winter.

I love these winters - it keeps the spineless liberal riffraff out. If they do show up, they usually fold after one winter. That entitlement mentality doesn't get them too far around here.

Once you get out of the towns, most everything is laid out in 5, 10 and 20 acre spreads. This means no cable - ever. You want decent internet access, then you go with StarBand. Selling and setting up StarBand is how I'm getting by these days.
