It's a lovely place to live. There's a lot of controversy over city people moving here and messing with the delicate culture and background, as they see it as paradise, not a homeland for a certain kind of people.
The family who owns the ranch (Not Tim and Judy) recently worked with the Payette Land Trust to put Hettinger Ranch into a conservation easement for perpetuity. This means that even if the family sells, the ranch can never be developed beyond a working hay, and horse ranch. Only allowing for one more house, and a few outbuildings to be built. Amazing and honorable decision by the owners.
I have spent time on the south fork within sight of their ranch, and I applaud their lifestyle. It is usually quite mild in the winter, but the summer is very hot in the valley. I greatly enjoyed my time there, but you do have to be aware that there are a large number of rattle snakes in the area.
i'm jealous lived in Idaho for ten years. spent lots of time at the city of rocks. went back to live in 2016 but wife could not handle the big country.
This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Simply breathtaking. The daughters seem to know the value of good hard work, and are doing pretty darn good for themselves
Why would anything take 15 years to get approval? They should not have to ask anyone if its on there own land and they are not stopping the water from traveling on.
unfortunately those days are long gone regardless of what state you reside. It's sad that you need govt approval to do ANYTHING on your own property, but such is life in America these days.
im betting you could get away with something like that on your own property especially because how often is a police man going to come to your property that far out and would he even find out
I may haved missed it in the video but I didn't hear how this family generates income. Paying for those plane deliveries twice a week in the winter, property taxes, etc. Did the family 'retire' wealthy or are they communting to the 'city' for work?
What part of idaho? I'm moving up to the upper Idaho it.really appeals to me, Canada is also short distance, and Montana isn't' much, further to the border..Lots, What I've been told, i believe there's lots much to do there and can have a better since of peace and quiet. Where I live now is a wholey mess, so much gangbangers, but this state is also run by the Meth monsters, to me are even worst and biggest problem this raunchy statel is overwhelmed!!! And no jobs unless you speak Spanish only. So I'm saying saying adios Muchchos lol.. thanks for letting me speak my mind, and to vent!!!; Thanks again, and CHOW
It's true, the Nez Perce (Niimipu) and the Sheep eater (Tukudeka) tribes utilized this land, but they did not live there year-round. Private property was not culturally recognized by the tribes like it was to the European immigrants at the time. The treaties have not been honored. Tim's daughter married a Navajo smokejumper, so keep that in mind for perspective.
Tom Tapp A 32 mile stroll following two Banks of rivers between Mountain Pass? I used to stake mining claims in that neck of the woods and I can tell you 32 miles taking 10 hours is an unbelievable achievement.
USA is a little bit too big. About 52 times too big. There should be 52 countries with different languages to make each state more powerful. Just a few places are overpopulated and favorized. Right now all families need to split because of job opportunities. It's within the country but the distance and cost makes it unable to keep relationships between grandkids, kids, parents and grandparents. That's the view of a European. Don't hate.
True, not many. I danced in the field at his daughters wedding. She married a Navajo smokejumper. Later in the night the rap music blared. I'll never forget the cowboys and smokejumpers break-dancing.
