    Athol is a cool little town, I was just there in July. For me, Athol is the spot to be over CDA because it'll probably remain safe from all the current expansion, at least for quite a while. Land there is pretty expensive, but Farragut Park is so beautiful, and Lake Pend Orielle is breathtaking, the water is so clear and clean. Athol is also not far from Spirit Lake and Twin Lakes, both are great for kayaking. And Sandpoint isn't too far north of Athol, that's a really cool town as well. I'd love to live in Athol, and I'm actually working on convincing some family to make the move.

We love your honesty, warnings, and affirmations about living in Idaho. We couldn't be more excited!! Could you do a video on Bonners Ferry or Naples?

Idaho is already overpriced, people want properties that are convenient if they are going to spend their life savings on a home.

I live in Hope. I own a R1200 G/S. I get out on dirt roads and ride the pavement as well. I lived in Lewiston for a little over a year and rode dirt and pavement there as well. It’s the perfect motorcycle to own in North Idaho….

      Now that's a little extreme. $700K will get you at least a 1970s singlewide on an acre. You'll probably have to use two gallons of Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer and 5 gallons of Killz to make it habitable.

    Not my hunting grounds anymore. To many people and houses now. The other thing is that most people move in, driving up the cost of property. Then cannot handle the snow and the cold. Jobs are another problem that you need to consider. The commute alone to and from with the streetlights turning what use to be a thirty-minute drive into an hour and it's only going to get worse.

Athol is a beautiful place but, a lot of people come here wanting to get rid of the drama from cities and the problems they had t place of origin. It's beautiful and peaceful here but, prefer the crime and problems don't follow with the trash that is thrown out on roads and Forrest.

    Well I lived near Athol for years, Bayview actually. Beautiful mountains yes, love the scenery and the outdoors, definitely.
    My family and I left there 12 years ago for safety reasons. We are people of color. And out of the 10 states that I have lived in, in my 50 years of life the panhandle of Idaho was by FAR the worst for people of color. Hopefully it has changed since we lived there. That element of Idaho is disheartening, 2010 wasn’t that long ago. But when we lived there there was a large white supremacist element. Sandpoint, Ponderay, Athol, Spirit Lake, Priest River and Hope could be DANGEROUS for people like me. Imagine how surprised I was to see the park that I would take my lunch break at taken over one day by a supremacist meeting!! Of course they’re allowed to congregate you know! That was in Spirit Lake. Btw there were multiple incidents while we lived there. In the light of day in nice respectable surroundings.

      I live in Newman Lake Wa, near the Washington Idaho border. There is definitely racism in Idaho to this day. It's really this whole area of the northwest. The Jewish and Sikh temples in Spokane get vandalized quite a bit. There's also the fact that every single obgyn left the Sandpoint Idaho hospital recently because of laws that Idaho passed.

      The element you speak of has moved north to the Canadain border. They got forced out from down there and, while there are some around still it's not as bad as it was. Also, a lot of this racist stuff is propaganda pushed by the feds.
