Moved to Idaho

That's a beautiful place!

Any plans for it ( range, garden, livestock and such ) or are you just gonna enjoy it the way it is?

I see another hotrod in your future. :)
 
You are very lucky! That is a great area. I would like to move to Idaho, probably Meridian or Eagle, but the wife does NOT want to be away from the grandkids, oh well.
 
Mike,

Congrats on your escape, you're a lucky man.
FYI - be sure to check out Lolo Hot Springs, on Hwy 12 to Lolo, on the way to Missoula. They're a natural hot springs w/ different temps., should be pretty neat with snow on the ground.
My folks & sister are still in Missoula - Go Grizzlies!! Love that area around the Blackfoot River. I'm still up that way every year to see my Dad (94 this year).

Welcome, I moved here a year and a half ago and love it. I too can see the bitterroots from where I live and it's magnificent, albeit on the other side.
Enjoy the rest of your life.

Welcome to Idaho! You'll never want to leave. You'll get used to the snow. The first winter I moved out here we got 70 inches of snow just in December alone. My biggest problem so far has been moose knocking down my horse fencing. But as it turns out that was just a handy excuse for me to pick up a new .410 shotgun. I really didn't want to hurt them, just persuade them to move on down the road.

Missoula MT. 140 miles :p Costco, Walmart, and everything I want to be away from.
The town of Salmon is 4 miles south of Carmen and has most everything I'll need. I'll support the local economy, thank you.

Salmon is listed as Elmer Keith's hometown. Even more reason to like your new home.
 
Welcome to God's Country...I'm a native Idahoan, moms family was from the Princeton/Potlatch area. I settled in Spokane but am only 30 minutes away from Idaho and 30 minutes away from 30 lakes in every direction. I prefer my mountains covered with trees but to each his own. That country is high, wide and handsome..it has its own special quality, I find dawn and dusk to be particularly attractive. I lived in Ogden, Utah for seven years and although it can be god-forsaken in the summer months there are times in the year when those mountains can be breath-taking. I remember one morning we woke up and it had snowed down to about six thousand feet, below that the mountain oaks were still covered with bright red leaves, there was a line as clear as if you had drawn it where that red and white demarkation was, it was truly wonderous, pure white above all the way to the peak of Mt. Ben Lomond which I think was near 10K, clear blue sky above...closest thing I ever saw to the Stars and Stripes naturally.
