looks like paradise to me

Idaho is like the Alaska of the lower 48!! It's nice. That's why I live here!!

The state of Idaho should help them to preserve this way of life. I'd love to see a documentary of these folks.

It's a lovely place to live. There's a lot of controversy over city people moving here and messing with the delicate culture and background, as they see it as paradise, not a homeland for a certain kind of people.

The family who owns the ranch (Not Tim and Judy) recently worked with the Payette Land Trust to put Hettinger Ranch into a conservation easement for perpetuity. This means that even if the family sells, the ranch can never be developed beyond a working hay, and horse ranch. Only allowing for one more house, and a few outbuildings to be built. Amazing and honorable decision by the owners.

Sounds like a dream to live like that! I’d happily give up the city crap, internet and social media to live in a place like this one.

My friend I could listen to you all day long telling your life stories God bless you and your family

I have spent time on the south fork within sight of their ranch, and I applaud their lifestyle. It is usually quite mild in the winter, but the summer is very hot in the valley. I greatly enjoyed my time there, but you do have to be aware that there are a large number of rattle snakes in the area.

how i would give anything to be able to live like that in the mountains

Just beautiful snow

So fortunate I live in Idaho. Best place to live in my opinion.

Tim is a swell guy! Love to visit there, since we are Warrenites in the summertime.

The best part is his daughters. Smokejumpers, Doctors. They're tough. Real Tough.

I agree. the way he said it too.."They're tough..." you know those are good children. They listened to Momma and Papa.

i'm jealous lived in Idaho for ten years. spent lots of time at the city of rocks. went back to live in 2016 but wife could not handle the big country.

That would be so cool

Good living!

Hello from the Lost River Valley !

I lived on the North Fork.area of the Salmon River.

This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Simply breathtaking. The daughters seem to know the value of good hard work, and are doing pretty darn good for themselves

Tim and just are so awesome. I got to stay at the ranch a few summers ago,the most awesome place I have ever been!

I loved this video. seems like a great life for these people

This Is a Great Video* Your Place Is Beautiful*

Love it The way life should be!

Wonderful!!!

freaking dream life

Love it!

Great place.

go Weeipe and Pierce!!

I love how he talks about his daughters!

Livin the dream!

I love it. I wonder how they’re doing now? And the land.

super nindut ang view

Why would anything take 15 years to get approval? They should not have to ask anyone if its on there own land and they are not stopping the water from traveling on.

Beautiful Shoshone Country you have "settled" in.

I am interested.

I may haved missed it in the video but I didn't hear how this family generates income. Paying for those plane deliveries twice a week in the winter, property taxes, etc. Did the family 'retire' wealthy or are they communting to the 'city' for work?

Road bike from DC to Salmon. It's the real deal. Check out the museum, it is also legit.

Party rock is in the house tonight everybody jus-

They make a modest salary caretaking the ranch.

USA is a little bit too big. About 52 times too big. There should be 52 countries with different languages to make each state more powerful. Just a few places are overpopulated and favorized. Right now all families need to split because of job opportunities. It's within the country but the distance and cost makes it unable to keep relationships between grandkids, kids, parents and grandparents. That's the view of a European. Don't hate.

It's true, the Nez Perce (Niimipu) and the Sheep eater (Tukudeka) tribes utilized this land, but they did not live there year-round. Private property was not culturally recognized by the tribes like it was to the European immigrants at the time. The treaties have not been honored. Tim's daughter married a Navajo smokejumper, so keep that in mind for perspective.
