No, its not but without the snow you do not have any of these other things. Its the snow that makes all this possible.

Awesome Dave congratulations! Hope you get out there soon!

Not soon enough, Thanks

So how many acres for your homestead?

The plan morphed from acreage to land with a canal to a house on the river . The short answer is two

That's beautiful Dave. I hope you get it done sooner than later.

Thank you sir, sooner than later needs to happen

Beautiful........... But to cold for my thin blood.

I thought so too, I was wrong.

Thanks, Dave.
Based on someone I know, it will be as close to heaven as it can get.

I guess we all have different opinions of heaven

Very different

Mother nature is very good at what she does, but you have a hell of an eye for it. Very impressive bunch of pictures...

Thank you , nature is amazing. This site wont let me post 90% of what I tried, missing some beautiful stuff.

The west is a wonderfully beautiful place.

I realize how a place like this can give one a new prospective on life. You realize just how insignificant you and your issues are in the grand skeem of life.
I lived in a basic log cabin the rockie's of Colorado at 8000ft for 3 1/2 years in the early 70's. I went there an angry young man and got my head screwed on straight. I was able to return to society with a much improved attitude.

I wish you luck and am a little envious Dave.

Dammit man, you got me thinking now, I love the outdoors and I love the serenity of such wide open spaces, I grew up near the ocean and have always had an affinity for the beach and sailing, that's my happy place.

Very beautiful Dave!

I love that scenery

 

[bluefury361]

Life's to short not to spend most of it in your happy place.

Dave you are turning into a regular Ansel Adams. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully one day in the not too distant future you can make the move.

Hey Dave, now that you're gonna settle in Idaho, can we change you FCBO handle? ALA Animal House?


I think you're new FCBO name should be..... "Tater".......
C'mon that's funny right there.

Just kidding..as we spoke at Carlisle, I'm very happy for you guys!

 

[polara71]

This thread exists to show some of the landscape, geography, weather and things to do out West.
I appreciate all the congratulatory sentiment .

 

[polara71]

For those that say they don't like the cold there ARE those that do not like the humidity...next weeks Temps across the motherland.
