bobal,

Towsend ,MT has about 1600 people, one blinking warning light so I think a Costco is a nother century away. Maybe I can trade somwthing from folks who live further down the mountain. I bouhgt and have in a 170lb vault $20,000 in pre-1965 “junk” silver so I would actually be trading tomatos for 90% silver. Somebodt with a good crop might do business.

Konyok,
I hadn’t thought about the deer ranging further away. Well I can go almost anywhere within a 20 mile radius and find all the deer I’ll need.

Eaten antelope in Africa. It might have been the preparation but it was not to my liking. It wasn’t chicken , it wasn’t beefy, it was more like an old Danner boot. It WAS tough.

Maybe I can get some of the folks down near the Missouri to grow some veggies. I bet they do but I’ve only met then a few times.

Bobal,
If I sell my Florida property I may well buy in Idaho. Even my father in law, a born and raised Montanan says it’s a darn nice place. Nor would I rule out Wyoming, but any new land has to be in that area of the country.

The I could get that Farmall Cub I always wanted. I use to drive one at a friends “gentlemans” farm in Pennsylvania when I was a 13 year old. An old crank’r upper. Neat.
