GTI (Gone To Idaho)

[BuckSmasher]

Took the day off. We had cold rain last night, high elevation caught some fresh snow. Nice living 25 minutes from the resort parking lot!

The pics are from the top of the southern Selkirk range looking East to tge Montana border and the western edge of the Cabinets. The Purcell Trench is the valley.
The lake is Lake Pend Oreille (pond-o-ray) means "hanging ear" in french. Apparently the local Kootenay indians wore big ornaments in their ears.

After contemplating it for a while, we are relocating to North Idaho! It is somewhat bittersweet to leave Texas. I love what is left of our culture and I am an 8th Generation Texan. I have deep roots here. However, my ancestors came here looking for what I am seeking in Idaho. In our opinion Coeur D'Alene has it all. Four seasons, lots of lakes and water, conservative populace, MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND!! Hunting is almost exclusively on public land in Idaho. Over 75 percent of the state is USFS, BLM, State, NPS, or USFWS land. Game to hunt within an hour of my house:
1. Whitetails
2. Mule Deer
3. Elk
4. Moose
5. Black Bears
6. Sheep
7. Goats
8. Wolves
9. Turkeys
10. Quail
11. Geese/Ducks
12. ETC, ETC

One of the things that surprised me are the amounts of turkeys and whitetails up there. I knew their were deer but Turkeys are EVERYWHERE.

Also, I am selling stuff, so if you want something hit me up! Here are my classified ads so far.

Adios! you are going to love it. My son moved to Salt Lake City about 5 years ago. He's always telling me how everyone goes to Idaho for hunting and fishing!

I’m happy for y’all man. We were living in the Wet Mountains on 35 acres. About five miles outside of Florence Colorado. Wife’s job ended and we ended up back here in Katy where we left five years earlier. I can’t stand it here. It’s a human armpit filled with American hating liberals. God speed to y’all man and save a place for us. Fingers crossed.

Katy is getting that liberal ?

Get a saltwater boat. We had a Sea Hunt BX24 and that is what made living in the Houston area tolerable, well that and Lupe Tortilla's fajita marinade...lol.

BuckSmasher....what would be your guesstimate for one or two acres up there with a small 1-2 bedroom cabin with lakeview or lake access? I know there's a million factors...but just a guesstimate.

Wow, that does cover a big range! Which lake for starters, ice age left a bunch of them around.

You are going to start around $300-$350 on the bottom way out south on CDA near Harrison or on the indian rez. Maybe on the Pend Oreille river west of Sandpoint. This is just VIEW, access would probably be floor of $650-700k and up for that much land, maybe more.
