RE: RLT #2: Magnificent Three Forks Ranch and Little Snake River

At least for their $1,995 "starting rate per person per night," (no, that is not a misprint ...) it better not be!

Dear steve!
Does this mean that the cost of lodging per person per day will be $2000?😲
It is very expensive!

I thought that people living in isolation in a vast, uninhabited wilderness would be very strong!
If the snow piles up in the winter, that place will definitely be a harsh place!
The lives of cowboys and farmers in American movies may seem wonderful, but in reality, they are said to be lives of very hard labor.

I had seen news reports that working life on American ranches and farms was very harsh!
From childhood, it was said that only those born on American ranches and farms could endure such harsh labor.
I remember you said that you used to work 12 hours a day on a farm.

Although the nature of the places in the photos is beautiful, I felt that it would be difficult for me to live in!!
That place is great for sightseeing, but I felt it wasn't suitable for people like me to live in!

I hope you don't feel offended by my direct and awkward English!😅

No, my East Asian friend. Once again, I am not offended. You are going to have to try harder ... 😉

Seriously, yes, life in these remote regions can be challenging. Especially during the winter months. That is why I mentioned not coming into areas like this unless you are very well prepared and know what you are doing. All of the people who are descended from the original homesteaders certainly know what it takes ...

At least people can get indoors and out of the weather. Their livestock? Nope ... They must endure the harsh conditions. While far from an expert, having talked with people who ranch in places like this one, as long as their livestock are:

Kept dry and out of the wind
Provided water and food

They will be okay. You can drive through areas like this in the winter and even see that newborns are out there braving the elements! Amazing, but true. They do not only survive, but thrive, if properly cared for ...
