    Essentially ALL tuff former logging and mining camps which are accessible and have great outdoor amenities go the way of Bend. Moab, Park City, Bozeman, Missoula, etc, are all overrun with Cali Fag diaspora (Yella included).

    I can think of but one exception to the rule, which is the little mining camp of Ouray, CO. It's a mecca for climbers, jeepers, back country skiers, etc and relatively close to Telluride, but it still has working hard rock mines and unpaved side streets. TUFF.


    Ridgway>ouray but can’t go wrong with either one.

    Ridgeway is tits. Easy regional airport access. Less than an hour to Telluride.

    Unpaved roads? I am OUT.
    Builds character.

    Leavenworth is another boom town with ridiculous housing rates. Fortunately the fiance got in back in 2008 when the market was crap. House has tripled value since then.

    I have no idea what my Chelan property is worth, but I'm sure it's a lot now, which is good since I bought high to begin with.

    I didn't realize there were any locals in Leavenworth.

    Few, but yeah. I've always wondered about kids who grow up in places like Leavenworth or Chelan. Places with tiny permanent populations and huge influx of tourists during summer and/or Christmas.

    Leavenworth may be the weirdest town in the whole state: They just decided to be a German town. Talk about a marketing gimmick that paid off!

    It is a strange place to live. Most kids that grow up here seem to initially want to get away. Weekend swings in population. An economy built on tourism and seen as a vacation place for the well to do. Myself I never go downtown to the shops. I don't see the allure of it. However you don't have to be too far from the center of town to feel that small town feel. Been here almost a couple of years and still trying to acclimate.

    Some folks I know bought a decent 2K rancher in a new development in Deer Park that I visited in March. I figured it went for $350-400k max.

    Turned out it was over half a mill.

    Nuts.

    But after seeing this, it makes more sense.

    The Throbber actually knows a cat who lives in that development/on the golf course. It's nice but nothing special. Pretty above average kind of homes for the greater Spokane metroplex. Deer Park is about 15 miles north of the Spokane city limits (if that) -which for Spokane commuters is like living in fucking Bellingham for Seattlites.

    All this foolishness is giving the Throbber a big paper millionaire feeling in his nether regions. Don't really want to sell the GNR Compound because then where they fuck does one go? Soon enough but still about 4 to 5 years out on the life horizon for that.

    Anybody up for buying a golf course in Deer Park? Form a little LLC and have our own HH playground?

    Crazy how a 1/3 acre patch golf course adjacent goes for $200k but a whole golf course is a Million.

    I'm hearing owning a golf course as tremendous tax advantages. Tremendous. Just what I'm hearing don't twist.

    I steered away from this thread due to bad history...mainly, I proposed to my "practice wife" at the resort. Also had a Gilligan's Island experience on Lake CDA in college (drunk college bros paired with a sudden summer wind storm which swamped the motor do not mix well). Give me a floating cabin at Bayview (one of my favorite places) and I'm in...

    If you want a good lake to die on, Pend Oreille is a great choice. The bitch gets some swells that could capsize a cruise ship. Very few bays to seek refuge.

    That said, if you don’t know wtf to do or where to bail out, CDA could fuck up a lesser man. There’s a reason it’s called Windy Bay and it gets worse on the main slough.

    The boat we were in was probably a 30 footer, and we were in mid-lake when it came up. Couldn't get the aux motor started, we ended up against the rocks by the freeway. We jumped out to protect it, got the aux started, back to the marina with my roomie sitting on the ski deck steering blind, with me holding on to him. We were tanked, and when we got back to the marina, we were all completely sober.
