It is only cold in the winter.

No problem - we used to lube our guns with sub-zero grease during NY Winters to ensure reliable operation even on the coldest days....

I’ve watched both USAF Airmen & oil patch workers move in up here. Yes, the cold is a major issue with them, but there is also culture shock. Many complain of the lack of things to do, the lack of places to shop and dine.

For example, from where we live, our doctors are 90 miles away. We drive a Subaru, the closest dealer is 200 miles away. I buy a lot of Cabelas stuff, their closest store is 200 miles away, as well as popular restaurants. Police response time is about half hour, ambulance is 45 min. Snow drifts can be high enough to cover a house. We often have to shovel our roof top off to keep the vents and smoke stack clear.

On the other hand, I can poke a gun out the window and shoot a coyote - no one will care. I can do any type of excavation or build any kind of a structure I want to for a simple $50 county building permit and no one will come around to inspect it for anything. Compared to rat infested cities, our freedoms are too many to mention.

Now if you are serious, our place is for sale.
