Pretty sure that you'll have a your own room in the house that will be there anytime you can make it up to visit. However, during those times that you cannot make it out, I might be there. :D

Better than that!
Putting (4) Air B&B mini cabins on it. There is 15 acres of HEAVY forest behind the meadow we are going to build a singletrack on. The back of that is national forest. Active imtb Hooligans will be welcome any time.

Four seasons...
Boat launch onto Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced Pondoray) 15 minutes away. 24” Salmon fishing, check out the literal size of that lake, I dare you!. Hiking, hunting, boating, jet skiing, mountain biking, quad, moto, and 4x4 trails.

Winter is snowboarding, skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, yada, yada, yada...

Uh-huh....just across the lake from Sandpoint and Sagle that I previously mentioned. :D Good call to avoid Montana. Long term politics aren't looking good for that state. :gag:

$54 bucks to register my 2005 Dodge Ram, it’s over $500 in California, and so far, the roads have been way better!

Plus the North 40 Outfitters stores are a man’s dream Supahstore heaven!

This is the candy section!

Yep pretty much exactly what my buddy who lives in northern Idaho always tells me. Just gotta have hobbies & toys for all four seasons. He’s got drag race cars, moto’s, jet skis and only works 8-9 months a year as a drywall contractor. I hate him...

I remember the first time I called Idaho DMV when my son was going to Boise State. A real human answered after ONE ring. I was so dumbfounded that I didn't say anything because I assumed it was a recording and I was waiting for it to continue. When he went to get his Idaho DL, he was in and out in 20 minutes with no appointment and that was in Ada County, Idaho's busiest area.

I'm glad we're friends, Mikie. We're friends, right?

Am I the only one who sees that rack and instantly sees dead children or stacks of bodies in a public venue?

Yeah, probably.

That never occurred to me....

What I thought was fun times when I used to shoot, but if the zombie apocalypse happens I'm screwed as no longer own firearms. But hey, I might be the zombie so won't matter.


And for Montana, I think it would be very important to spend an entire winter there before committing to year round residency.

If you want to politicize it with an agenda, I guess you could paint that picture as you did. I saw having a blast, self defense, and 2nd Amendment rights. Not one of those guns gave me any sass, or threatened me as I walked by. :rolleyes:
Tools... like my tractor.
Sport... like my bike.
Guns... like skeet shooting and target shooting.
That’s what I see.
:inlove::inlove::inlove: Hugs and kisses! :cool:

It's legal in Wyoming to publicly carry assault weapons, isn't it?

If I understand correctly, you can not purchase an assault weapon. I believe our government passed a bill a few years ago.

None of those guns pictured are assault weapons. They are just guns. Some other people just labeled them that.

Both Wyoming and Idaho have open carry, no permit required.

So when we visit, you'll be "packing heat"?

And how about a shooting range on the property? That would be fun, no?
