Asking $189,900”

“WOW, that is bee-you-tee-ful! hey, what-say you knock off that first little number and relocate it to VT? i'd take it! tempting, no?”

“i really wish i could afford it. it is somehting i could see myself living in for years to come. good luck and i hope you can sell it. (and to who ever buys it can i come over to visit?)”

“very nice home, so tempting, but no.

where are you moving to?”

“You will have to pay me more than that to get me to move to PA. :)”

“Going back to school fulltime so we have to downsize. We still want to stay in the same area.
This way we can drive by our house and cry.”

“After looking at that house, you will pal, you will. That's a heartbreaker, but you will just have to focus on the goal and chalk it off for the time being.”

“mtn gal,

you're right, stay away, PA is horrible, don't come here, our 3 million acres of public lands, 4,000 miles of hiking trails, ugleee place (then i can have it for myself!)”

“I don't think that's gonna entice her out of Idaho jmitch, but nice try.”

“i'm not trying to entice her. hey, why don't you leave too!!!

it's all about me, all for me, me, me.”

“So those are your rocks up on Bake Oven Knob?”

“Jmitch – do you think that compares to Idaho for outdoor activities? Get real.”

“oh, i'm willing to share, i guess. bake oven knob? i can show you far greater vistas in PA than that. there are much better trails in PA than the AT.

mtn gal- when can i come out to idaho?”

“calm down mtn gal- all in good fun.”

“At this very moment they are erecting signs at the Idaho state line reading, "Welcome to Idaho - not you jmitch!"”

“Jmitch – I know, I’m just tossing it back at ya. . Come anytime. Today it is 110 in the “big” city, 90 in the mountains. 11% relative humidity.”

“lets see...
Pa (SCRATON)- 10.000 lbs of bananas
Idaho- potatos

sorry thats a hard one to pick.”

“what??? i'm sure idaho is an awesome place, i never knocked it.
i'd really like to go there. each state and every place has its own beauty.

adventurist- sorry for screwing up your thread.”

“Now he'll never sell his log home and it will be our fault.”

“places i'd like to go to in idaho:

malad gorge
city of rocks
hells canyon
sawtooth wilderness
craters of the moon
mesa falls
smiths falls
moyie falls
selway-bitterroot wilderness”

“Did somebody say bananas?”

“YUP
10.000 lbs of smashed bananas”

“Umm...I think there WAS a house for sale on here somewhere.....”

“Come to Pa, but watch out for PennDot.”

“Feeney-

Looks like a great place! Move it to a nice place withing 20 miles of Hanover, NH and you've got yourself a deal. I'll even add a 3 car garage and steps out of the sliding glass doors and the kitchen door. Looks like one helluva first step.”

“I have a long stride.”

“Anybody from NY,NJ,or PA?”

“You'd have to knock off the first two digits for me to consider.

200k in pa? you gotta be joking!

“Hmmm. never did say we sold this.

“That would be nice!”

“you just pack it up and send it out. oh wait, i need land, don't i? bummer.”

“I still have my home in Pocono Pines, I used to live in Jonas. I can't open your link, but I bet I know right where your place is.”

“Its at the top Owl Hollow Rd in Saylorsburg.”

“Sailors?”

“LOL i started to read this thread from the start without looking at the dates. scared myself BIG TIME

wild flower....i miss that chick!”

“After ready all your PA/ID/NH etc. chatter, can anybody explain why I feel so smug in my log cabin up here in Alaska?”

“sourdough, post some pics of it..........better yet, send weeklong passes.........”

“You're welcome up here chappy. Moose Pass Alaska in the heart of the Kenai mountains. Pics to follow, they're im my daughter's computer”

“In the meantime, check out this person's site:

The trailhead for this hike is 1/2 mile from my little cabin.”

“How much are those Nat Forest cabins to rent?

That looks like a great area!”

“We built a log home in Vermont in '88.

It was northern white cedar from the Katahdin area of Maine.

It was delivered on a flatbed trailer nearly 500 miles and weighed 49,000 pounds.

We had to cut down some trees so that the truck could get close to the building site.

Looking back on the whole experience it was a little insane, but I really miss our mountain side house.”

“Adventurist....I think $25 per night.”

“I built a log home in 1993, same experience as mARKo. The trucks arrived in late November and then everything was burried in snow for two months until we could start construction. I sold it 6 years ago and moved further north in PA to be closer to the Pine Creek Gorge. Nice house, it needed a garage. Would have fit in better where I live now.”

“We are from D.C. and did a typical flatlander thing.

We built two miles and 700 feet elevation up a dirt road.
It was "fun" in the winter and mud season!
I had to plow 1/3 mile with an old junker truck.
January '90 we had one snow storm on top of another for a total of nearly three feet.
The clutch linkage had busted and I had to start the beast in first gear to get going, then slip it into neutral kill the engine and do the same in reverse.
I had a roll of snow going taller than the plow blade.
Those were the days!
Oh yeah, #3 son was three months old at that time.”
