Driggs is very rural Idaho. Skiing is awesome both in the backcountry and at Grand Targee. Should be lots of rafting. Jackson Hole and the Snake are close as are most of the Idaho rivers. Fishing should be friggin awesome.
Ever been to Driggs, Idaho?

I have a phone interview tomorrow for a job in Driggs Idaho.
I am not looking for a change, this was an unexpected contact from someone from an industry I left in 2015 due to a non compete which has expired.
It's a pretty attractive offer, the likes of which I wont see without relocating and maybe not even then.
Any idea what the boating is like around Driggs?

Yep, go visit and eat at some local diners. Go out to breakfast. You will get a feel for the place. I haven’t been there in years.

That’s such a tragedy. If you didn’t own property/a house before things went crazy you can never dream of affording one now. Durango is like that. I feel bad for the local under 30 folks. You have to leave your home town in order to afford housing.

Yeah, I do the tile work in a lot of “mansions” and the square footage thing just blows me away. Wait, hold up, it’s just the two of you???

And this is not the one percent, it’s the ten percent. Years ago I did some repairs in a home at the mouth of La Plata canyon. Dude was some stockbroker hedge fund kinda guy that owned jets, plural. The contractor told me that his propane bill was 2k/month due to poor design (two story windows all across the the north side) and hydronic snow melt for driveways and sidewalks. This is 15 years ago when propane was less then a buck a gallon. Thus dude is not the one percent.

Can you imagine how much Pinchecharlie’s posted house costs to heat, have the windows cleaned etc etc. I guess a good portion of upkeep/maintainence $ should come to local folks so that’s a good but the mega/trophy home just seems sooo not sustainable.

Yeah, like I said, not sustainable in any shape or form. Isn’t gluttony one of the seven deadlys. GASP
