I have friends in idaho.

They consider boise a hotbed of liberal commie pinko activity..  the even say in muted tones that there are colored people in boise!

The winters are far from mild tho.

You've already covered the weather angle and the cost of living issues. The terrain is rather boring at times, lots of low scrub and grass.

You do know it's about as Mormon as Utah don't you.

You should have access to good skiing and other outdoor activities. Really not a bad place to be if just a bit boring at times and for the winter......


Did you have a career change or just changing RV areas / company?

[midnight Target]

Slight career change. I work for a company that makes RV components. We bought an existing manufacturing firm up here and I'm tasked with getting it profitable.

We haven't discussed money yet, hope to nail that down next week.

USAF wanted to send me to North Dakota (Minot AFB) after training.

I'd met folks who'd been there.

I balked

Minot's great, Culero. There's a gorgeous girl behind EVERY tree!

I lived in Pocatello, Idaho for a number of years, which is located down toward the southern end of the state about 5 hours east of Boise...  It's been 10 years since I've lived there but the southern area of Idaho is a descent place to live.  Housing was cheap, the overall cost of living was cheap.  Hell my electric bill average was 90 dollars a month, I would give anything to have that down here in Texas...
