That Lake Erie Shithole State May Lagalize Weed

That's only the northern part. The southern part is full of Mormons.

More accurately the south eastern part is full of Mormons. Boise isn’t a Mormon town. East of Twin Falls is where the Mormons are. Jackson Hole isn’t Mormon but go over the Teton range to Driggs and Rexburg and it’s mostly Mormon.

What’s funny is the Mormon farmers grow some of the best barley in the world. Their big customers are the beer companies. There are several big malting plants in eastern Idaho. The Mormons are making mint supplying barley to the beer industry.

Bear attacks are increasing due to dipshits seeking out their habitat all because they want to post a "selfie" with one. In most cases the bear has to be destroyed because of its interaction with humans most of which bait the animal with food. I used to see that time to time in Park Country and always reported those assholes to a park ranger like the little Nazi bitch I can be. That really pisses me off. Others are these morons who bring their dogs and run them off leash without a clue that wild coyotes and grey wolves are also in the are or feed the big horn sheep and goats with junk food - most of them transplants.



See it now, before a fucking Texan or Californian developer turns it into another fracking eyesore

Ever seen a grizzly bear charge? Scary as fuck. They are fast. You aren’t going to out run one. Climbing a tree to safety is a nice dream. All you can do is use bear spray, pray, play dead or shoot it. I’ve seen a grizzly get hit in the kill zone with a 338 Winchester Magnum and still charge a long ways before dropping dead. Shooting them with a big pistol usually is just going to piss it off.

Yeah so idiots are low on the food chain. When people feed bears they lose their fear. You become a food source. A bear that’s not around people and is not being fed is going to avoid you if they hear or smell you. A momma bear with cubs might get defensive.

Yeah so there will e more bear attacks and even cougar attacks. More social media selfie masturbators will die.

I’ve lived in a lot of states and basically rural America is basically the same. Even in blue states. Same type of people.

That’s all over blown. There was the Aryan Nation's years ago and they got sued and went broke. Northern Idaho is very scenic and has wonderful lakes. The biggest complaint I hear is people with money are moving in and driving prices up and ruining the quality of life. Basically the same complaining you hear from Kristy about Colorado.

Well there is a current boom of people seeking an escape in beautiful remote places. What this really means is bear attacks are up because there are more bears and dipshits in the woods. Don’t try to pet a bison or elk. You will get the sharp ends of the horns and elk love to stomp on assholes. People seeking solitude especially in rugged mountains keeps our search and rescue constantly busy.

I’m a big believer nature takes care of itself. There’s no participation medal in nature. Idiots don’t last long in nature.

Idaho is full of Trump Nazis. So, no.

I think that's what attracts me to the notion of places like Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas...even Nebraska, as places to visit, in that I'd quite like to see some vast expanses of land that haven't yet been strip-mined (or strip-malled) and/or overdeveloped...before they're all gone.

I don't need to go somewhere else if all I'm gonna see are the same big box retail stores and fast-food joints as I can where I'm already at.

Were it not for the brutal winters, I could easily see settling in rural Maine.

Central Idaho is all wilderness area. No motorized vehicles allowed. If you want to see untouched landscape that’s very rugged in the lower 48 that’s the place. My dad flew bush planes. We used to land in some very remote areas to fish and camp.

The Front Range is a mess as well as the Western Slope. The amount of people that moved here is insane. When you have that much of a sudden influx of population they have to have somewhere to live and the ugly tract housing especially in places around Boulder, Evergreen, Littleton are an abomination and here's the real kicker no one can afford them. Rent is out of control, food prices are insane, traffic is like playing Russian roulette and they keep on building shit. As for the Eastern Plains, are you kidding? Drive 15 minutes out of Denver and it's MAGA weed country full of red neck small towns where family inbreeding and molestation run rampant. Ever since climate change much of the eastern part of the state is the new tornado alley. When I was much younger the Eastern Plains scared me like you come upon these small towns where lights were on and yet nobody was ever to be found. Did see one kid once in Holly, Colorado who looks like a special needs kid locked inside of a building with nothing but broken toys. Eastern Colorado is too weird.

So with the high population of assholes from all over and the strip mining of the mountains and - particularity the front Range mountains - the beautiful places you talk about are becoming scarce.



Stay away

I had that sort of John Denveresque, granola-munching, ski vest adorned/Colorado Hiking Boots wearing picture of the state that has lingered as an image in my imagination left over from the late 1970's.

I suppose from what you had to say, Colorado isn't quite that anymore.

I would put much value in Kristy's assessment... go to any state and hang out in the largest metropolitan cities and you'll find them dirty and overrun with low-life's from all over. Visit little cities in the high country, front range or even the eastern prairie areas of Colorado and there's lots of beautiful places to visit/explore.

Nope. Colorado is a gentrificated shithole. Even where I live where it was much more how can I say, "industrial" is now a strip mall hellscape of fucking sushi restaurants, really shitty uppity yuppiefied overpriced bars, Soulless coffee shops, F A T wobbly Texans wearing Stetsons, entitled Californians wearing Vans in the dead of winter and New Yorkers who bitch about everything. If I had the money I get the fuck out of this place. I'm not kidding when I say you can't breathe here anymore

I'd quite like to visit Wyoming. And Montana.

Most of Yellowstone Park is in Wyoming. Below that is Grand Teton Park. Lot’s of tourists and it’s gotten busier since we moved here. You need to book your reservations at least a year in advance. A nice trip is to visit Yellowstone and then go into Utah and visit the national parks there and end with the Grand Canyon in Arizona. You will see a lot of cool geography you won’t see anywhere else. September is the perfect time. More wild life is out. Less tourists and the desert isn’t so hot.
