The man comes from a very desolate place. Makes me like him, and his dedication to creativity, even more.
A scenic outlook about 90 mins outside Big Sandy. There were already signs here for Big Sandy, as there wasn't much else in between:
Downtown Big Sandy (seriously):
Havre is mostly just an ugly strip, though the MSU campus (where my conference was held) does look like it has a good farm program. Based on the style of buildings in that area, I'd say all that stuff came after he lived there:

Also, your giant pictures have made replying to this thread a pain in the ass.

My dad's whole family is spread throughout Idaho.
Boise could be a great change, depending on your current circumstances. It's a cool city that is growing in a good direction, and there's great nature nearby.
Sandpoint is beautiful, but the economic situation there is...weird. Unless you're rich or want to do a bohemian sort of thing, I'd steer clear.
Parts around Coeur d'Alene area are really nice, but there's way too many wackos and nazis.
I love living in SW Montana. It's absolutely beautiful and there's nowhere I'd rather be right now.
The JAFT is very different from where I am, though. Wouldn't want to live there at all.
