Idaho
« on: June 13, 2008, 08:36:03 AM »
Just some stuff I like about the place and a thread with absolutely NO politics attached.

1. It is pretty. I don't have to drive far to be in the middle of nowhere, and I love that. In fact I don't have to go anywhere at all to enjoy some space. Here are a couple of shots from my back porch. This may be nothing to some of you, but coming from the urban sprawl of CA, this looks like heaven:







2. Quirky people, I mean this place is full of individualists. This house is in Idaho City about 40 miles North of here:



3. Some not-so-wild life, these guys were up near Weizer:






And just to get a little O-club action.... Idaho has a completely unrestricted open-carry policy. Packin heat is perfectly OK as long as people can see it. :)

that house is a danger to the occupant and everyone around him.. his individualism is a sin.   I don't know how you could condone such a thing.   I hope no one tells hillary about him or you.

There was a famous individualist in Idaho.   The government noticed him.   He lived on ruby ridge.   He didn't pay a $5 tax (that was probly trumped up anyway) and he didn't come to court on the day he was not supposed to.   

I have friends in Idaho.   I sure hope you will leave em alone MT.   I hope you won't try to kalifornicate the place.

I'm taking the Nagants out to Sand Hollow this afternoon, I'll try not to disturb the natural wonder of the place with my loud bangs and flying lead.

Wouldn't it be great if the whole county was just as free?

If people who get around in taxies and wear loafers and live in highrise aparments didn't make the laws for people who live in such places?

I know it's accross the state from you to the East but you should take a trip to Craters of the Moon Preserve and look over the lava flows and tubes. Great spot to look at some interesting volcanic structures.

I live not far from MT now. This area is growing in population faster than the infrastructure can keep up, mostly with Kalifornians. I still like it here though. Can carry a gun on your hip in public or a ccw is pretty easy to get. State income tax kinda sucks though.

True enough Iron, funny thing is, all of my neighbors are originally from California. Some as long as 30 years ago, but none of them are natives.

Those were the early adopters.

Heck, before the EA's figured it out, Idaho was nigh onter uninhabited! Only had ~ 600k people in 1950.

After looking at that house we can all draw three obvious conclusions:

1) The owner of that house transplanted from California.

2) He is a liberal.

3) His neighbors think he's nuts.

Those horses don't have saddles or bridles.  Technically that makes them pretty liberal.  :P
