How do you like the winters in Lewiston?

@@WestCoastRoller I live 80 miles upriver from Lewiston. I will go there to shop next Wednesday. When we, upriver, get snow, Lewiston gets rain. I live at the same elevation as Boise and last winter I had to plow my driveway twice. Lewiston folks never have to do that. The elevation is around 700 feet compared to Boise at 2800. Plus it has the warm influence warming the climate. The Clearwater River joins the snake here and makes a bit lake that extends into Washington. If I couldn't live my area, I'd live in Lewiston. This most of north central Idaho gets the Pacific coast influence up the three big rivers, Columbia, Snake, and Clearwater.

It can be like that, alright.

Great point!

Good luck! The entire world is polluted

@@DrDingus It feels that way, for sure.

Did you ever find somewhere new to call home? I've been on the hunt for months with no luck...

@@Travisb238 yup yup! We settled in Emmett.

I live in the Panhandle and it is now the 11th of November and it won't freeze tonight. But I once lived 50 mile SE of Idaho Falls and -20 was nothing. I still have a picture of 3 inches of snow on my Bronco on the 23rd of July. In my region in Idaho, we have the only seaport.

I lived 50 miles east of Idaho Falls once teaching school and the snow was on the ground 9 months and -40 was nothing. We finally had to move due to the cold.

@@PatrickThreewit Lewiston?

And you are Mormon, but your culture is way different from non-Mormon move-ins from other states. And you are a bit clannish.

Where are you seeing liberal encroachment? All I hear is that the area is very conservative and Mormon. I will be furious if I move out of a liberal city and into another area transforming into liberals.

@@jfkst1 Pretty much every place that's desirable is being infiltrated. That's part of their agenda. It's a major concern for me too, as nearly every place I've considered moving to is showing signs of leaning left.

@@jfkst1 Liberals seem the same as conservatives to me and I live in the Panhandle

@@PatrickThreewitwhaaat?? I’m not sure you’ve met a true liberal then 😂

@@OldJoeBlowsThere are liberal Mormons in Idaho Falls. Mostly conservatives because they are obedient and follow what their Church leaders tell them to do, and that conservatism began when they had an anit-semetic president. Liberals like Biden want to help the Jews commit genocide against the Palestinians, and keep us in a war to help the military-industrial complex (the rich), but conservatives believe strongly in government control such as controlling a woman's body and making marijuana illegal, pushing white conservative Christian nationalism and Project 2025, which will make America a Christian nation and give us a Christian theocracy, and of course in 2016 Trump gave the rich a huge tax cut. And recently the conservative leaning Cato Institute which is supported by the Kochs, who support republican candidates, came out with their yearly report of states with the most and the least personal freedom. My state was the second least free state. The first least free was Texas. After Idaho was Wyoming, Kentucky and South Carolina. California, Oregon, and Washington were not the freest but just a bit below the freest ten. I haven't been a conservative for years because I like freedom so I am a libertarian. Are people who think we have too much of a gun culture a liberal? I think we need universal background checks and I really don't see a lot of need for an assault rifle, be it Ak-47 or 74 or 5.56. I don't need 50 guns or thousands of rounds of ammo. I sleep well at night. I don't worry about people breaking in and I'm a 79-year old widower. I like liberals as well as conservatives, most most MAGA conservatives seem to hate anyone not their color.

I'd love to see that.

The farther down the Snake River you go, the warmer it gets in winter.

The farther upstream you go on the Snake River the higher the elevation and the colder the winters. Rexburg is near the Henry's Fork of the Snake at an elevation of about 4500 feet. I drive down river from the largest tributary of the Snake and shop at Costco which is less than a mile from the Snake where the elevation is 450 feet. Winters are mild and Idaho even has a seaport there in Lewiston..

That answers my question I guess

@@Jayjay38382 What's wrong with Illinois? Midwestern people are very friendly. Just live south of Interstate 64 unless you like harsh winters

@@brockreynolds870at this point the same things wrong with every other blue hair state. Although I’m still in California so I’ll shut up now. 😢

@@OldJoeBlows The problem is... you've been conditioned to look upon this as a "Red state, blue state" issue, when a great deal of issues are decided on the COUNTY level. California tends to be a very authoritarian state... regulating the crap out of everybody, but almost no other states are like that. For instance, in relation to building codes.. there are 9 states that have NO state building codes, it's all administered at the county level, and many rural counties have none. So you don't need building permits, and have the freedom to build what you want. Idaho is NOT one of those 9 states, but "blue" Illinois, IS.

@@brockreynolds870 agreed. 👍 I’d like to live somewhere where my tax dollars support my values. This is one of my biggest problems with California. I work my ass off and that money goes to people that kill their babies, people that live off govt systems and thieve, and health care for non-citizens that live tax free. It’s such bullshit and the blue hairs care more about criminal rights than Joe Citizen. Newsom is a disgusting disgrace to this state and country. The homelessness that is permitted is unreal, third world. The tax money that is taken to support these NGOs where 10% goes to maintaining the problem and 90% in the administrative pockets, is inhumane. I feel like a little seed trying to grow in a pond of scum. I don’t know where to go anymore. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I keep praying on it.

Bulshit. We moved to Idaho falls 7 years ago. You're exaggerating everything you just said compared to the reality of living here. Maybe it's just you. Maybe being a bitch in California is cool, but you can't get away with it here😏

Maybe because you're boring. Boating, fishing, hunting, off-roading , camping, hiking, etc..... Like I said, if you're bored here that's definitely a YOU problem. Go touch grass

Unless you are Mormon there's little to do.

If we're being real here, Idaho tends to be a bit xenophobic. But a mild distrust of outsider is probably a healthy thing. In the end, you're moving somewhere with a safe, insular community. Of course they are going to be skeptical of the behavior and politics of people coming from blatantly worse places.

Agreed! We transitioned our 4 yr old in California and after moving to Idaho we were NOT accepted for our liberal "Progressive" beliefs. It is frustrating as we are very social and just purchased an extremely expensive and large fondue set in our Che Gua room!!

​@Mr196710 have you no shame? Stay away from Idaho.

@@ts4426 I was trolling BUT many Californians are like this. I’m originally from Kentucky.

@Mr196710 I'm glad you were trolling. People who actually think that way should be moved to an island by themselves with no way off.

@@livinginidahofalls I grew up in Idaho Falls I roamed as a skater and was able to get as far away as I could from such a close minded community😂🙌🏾 Having to politely ask a family at Perkins to stop staring at my girlfriend at the time who was Chinese..I’m latino..to ask to stop being stared at is just the way it is there for outsiders. Upon departing town she requested to never have to go back when I visit my family and I totally was cool with that!

Can't wait to move there!

So they're normal?

@@regen3rate normal in terms of a majority of people that do not like different cultures or people, they don't like hearing other languages, they don't like anything other than what they are use to...if that is normal the yes they are normal.

Good, my pioneer families settled this area. They were driven out of their homes in mid winter with no food, clothing and the bare necessities of life Missouri, Illinois, and the federal government did their best to kill us off. We really don’t care what you like, talking about close mindedness, if we don’t think like you or live our lives like you then we are closed mined and bigoted racists. You need to look in the mirror and judge yourself before you judge a community for their beliefs and way of life, if you don’t like it, move!

I heard, "Idaho? No YOU da hoe!"

Yer, because your husband is not Black/African America. They are racist to black people.

Idaho has that “racist” rap because of the skinheads that had a commune there. That, and when I was growing up there, nobody cared what color your skin was. Didn’t matter and I suspect it’s still the same. Nobody gets special treatment based on skin color or anything else. Unfortunately today there are a lot of people who call that racist. I was blessed to grow up in Idaho Falls. I expect you’ll like it.

@@Wranglerlaura Thank you,I never felt it or saw it while we were in any part of Idaho. I think people say things to discourage you or they have a fear of change. Are you still in Idaho? Many blessings to you.

@@katedeo5840 , I live in Texas now. I have pretty bad arthritis in many joints. Makes living in Idaho again unrealistic if I want to walk during winter. My brother still lives up there though.

@@Wranglerlaura well thats not only why the extreme right wing republicans that live here. My hudband is black my daughter is bi racial they and a couple other people have experienced the racist stigma that still does exsist.

Looking forward to your upcoming video's. Thank you so much!
