I used to drive through Roberts, Ririe, ect. quite often on my way to southern Wyoming and western Colorado from west central MT. I had a regular stop in Ririe for gas as there weren't many opportunities for quite a distance north or south of there at night. I found the Northern Idaho College wrestling team out of gas on Monida Pass about 2:00 AM several winters ago. They had to haul the coaches into Lima and wake the sheriff to get them some fuel. For current travelers, there are more gas stops these days.
In the woods, I think moose are much scarier than bears. They'l will play toss and stomp for no apparent reason.

Hi, I'm the new guy from the Idaho Panhandle. We're in Sandpoint, where we're denying our Californian origins and trying to fit in with the locals.
CPAP is pretty much a "do-it-yourself" operation here, in part because my medical insurance is through a former employer and not very user friendly. My sleep doc is in southern California. I emailed the nurse practitioner who handles most of my needs asking about follow up and whether there was a "CPAP for Dummies" book. She forwarded that to the sleep doc, who replied that there were internet resources, and specifically referenced CPAPtalk. Of course I'd already been lurking here for many weeks.
Anyway, I'm very much into taking responsibility for my own success, and very appreciative of the support on this forum.

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

One of my favorite bumper stickers, right along side, "You're in Idaho now, calm down!"

Oh, I think Den's got you beat there. His little town in WY has a population of about 300 - all of which seem to be related to my sister in some icky fashion or another...
LOL,

Oh dear... Well, given her high marriage-breeding rate, I don't doubt that. Should have said STEP-SISTER. And she's Mormon, which is supposed to explain the high marriage and breeding rate. She meets, she marries, she breeds... Repeat as necessary.
LOL,

We actually have had some of the Idaho (and Washington) population staying with us this weekend and for a few more days. My wife's youngest son and his family from Moscow and her oldest son from the Pullman area.
Grandma's happy.
