Road trip planned
« on: April 15, 2024, 07:27:04 PM »
Going to look for somewhere to retire to.
The place i originally thought of has become too full and expensive now.
Going to head down through Idaho into southern Wyoming than back up the middle of Wyoming through Grand Teton up through Salmon then back down into WA.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

If you head through Grangeville, I can put you in touch with a bud there that works at 'the' shop for p&w and curtiss wright radial engines. It's a nice area too. Not too close or too far from spokane and boise.

Been thru that area of the States - nice folks! Was traveling towards Boise on my way to Seattle and broke down - in a snowstorm! Telephone repair guy just getting off his shift saw me on the side of the freeway and turned around to help me out. Saved me from possibly freezing to death!
Many years later the Mrs and I travelled to Yellowstone while visiting friend's in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Beautiful country!

You could always visit Tucson. We have the prettiest cactus and best Mexican food anywhere.  :))

Seems to be a common these days.
