My BIG Summer Trip

Beautiful house! Did he change careers too, or is he able to do the same job as before from up in the hills? I can't help but think about logistics with remote dream-homes like these. How far to the nearest grocery store? To the kids' school?

So it's decided that we're all meeting up at Chris's son's house when the zombie apocalypse hits, right?

No, he went from project manager for one of the nation's biggest hydralic pump companies (a good move from the nuclear subs in the Navy he served on) to living off the land and working for a big real estate group that helps people relocate to more remote areas.

My son has become a bit of a survivalist. Not sure how to explain but he would rather rely on himself than others so he is adding all kinds of things to his new home. Wind and solar power, a green house, a huge garden, a pond from the stream with fish. They homeschool so no nearby school is needed. Basic grocery is 20 miles away, bigger stores are a bit farther, there is even Costco and Trader Joe's in Spokane about 90 miles away. His home came with a huge diesel powered excavator for clearing the fields or roads.

I say, whatever. The kids will have a great experience there.

Dream on, in case of an apocalypse you won't be able to get near Idaho.
