Made it to Boise

[leadcounsel]

Quick updat. On my phone so not going to peck away much.

Partial paid move, partial rental truck. White knuckled driving over several passes. I counted at least 5 hard climbs. 14 hours to go 500 miles. Exhausted. But made it safely.

Lots of adventure. Liking the new home base city.

Thanks for all the wise counsel. The rental and route was good advice.

Congrats, I can't wait to move that way one day.

 

[Heyjoe]

Welcome.

I feel a SW Idaho member meet and greet is in order.

Glad you made it.

Good job.
Lucky you.
They are talking snow over some of the passes next few days.

Congrats. Must be nice to leave all the left-coast BS behind you and breathe the air of a free state as a resident. I'm jealous. Hope to one day be able to do the same.

Left Washington County about 4 months ago. Lived there south of Forest Grove for 55 years. Still have 2 kids and 4 grand kids there. It was tough leaving that aspect of it, but I have had no close calls in traffic, nobody has attempted to steal anything from me, and I do not miss the traffic and scumbags.

No mortgage, minimal yard work, no real visible neighbors. A great place to live out my life.

You smell that? That's freedom.














...or maybe it's just the sugar beet factory.

Now go have lunch at Idaho Pizza!

Wait....so you did use movers after all? I guess you getting all excited in your other thread was for naught eh?

Glad you made it.

Didja wave as you blew by on 84?

My folks live in Caldwell. I would love to move out that way, but my line of work is lacking in SW Idaho. 'Grats on the move!

 

[gmerkt]

Very glad to hear you made it okay. Also glad that some of the information provided here was of use. I'm too old now to make such a move, though I'd like to. Too dug in, adult children live nearby. Besides, my wife says I'm not allowed. But if she croaks first, my kids just may find that I've vanished from the area!

 

[Heyjoe]

Man that's some gorgeous land you got there.

Canyon county AKA: The Seven Smells.

Both movers and self move. That was the plan from go.

BOISE!!!

Lived there while in school. Hunted cottontail for dinner and coyote for cash (you could sell pelts then and the state paid a bounty too) and had a generally great time. I'd love to go back someday to stay, or a bit farther north like the McCall area.

Enjoy a great state and a great city!

Im working on the same move, maybe in the next year or so. Hopefully housing prices stay flat

Last time I was in downtown Boise it was very 50 shades of Portland.... I felt very uneasy... Ada County was pretty pink in 2016, I suspect it'll be very blue in '20..... too many Californians, etc moving into the area.

Nevertheless, God willing, Ill be headed that way by 2021

Enjoy your new home.

My stepdaughter lives in Nampa and works in Boise.... it is definitely changing.

Flat housing prices... oh yeah, sure! LOL; Calis sell a dump for $800,000 and buy a brand new home in Boise for $250,000... next year it'll be $300,000; and so on. It all works out as long as the place you are living is escalating at the same rate. I've been on the wrong side of that before...
