Well, I dont have a drivers license anymore, so there is no point buying a new car. So, I got this:

Nice. A lot of people around Priest lake have those. I could not justify buying one myself since they cost as much as a Jeep.

Hell, it cost more then a Jeep! But since I cant drive on the road, I made this street legal so I can take it on forest service roads.

Heck, don't let that stop you. Unless you have a recognizable face or vehicle to LE.
At one time, the number of unlicensed (or suspended) drivers in WA was around 12%. Probably hasn't gotten much better.
Damn nice wheels there.

Three years ago I lost most of kmy eye sight! Thats why I dont have a drivers license. I would never put other peoples lives at risk by driving on the road.

Looks like you won't have to plow any snow when you have that now.

LOL, I have a tractor for that. I usually have 4-5 feet of snow on my roof during the winter I LOVE living up here. Right now my Western Larch trees are turning. Im getting ready to plant 10 Giant Sequoia's. Oh, and two coastal Redwoods. My nephew's grand children will have 250' tall trees here.

As a user of FS roads, I hope you a joking. There are enough bad drivers out there.
As to planting Sequoias, it might be more like your grandkids have to pay and figure out how to get a huge problem tree down. If it survives that long.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

I would wager that for local MLH residents that figure is approaching 50%. The county and federal LE are pretty lenient out there.
I knew a guy that was driving without a license and ins, cutting up a downed tree next to the road and drinking a beer and the officer let him off with a warning, gave him 2 weeks to get his license which he did. So he was breaking about 4 laws and didn't receive a ticket...although previously he did get hit with a 20k fine for cutting live trees on FS land...but he is indigent so pay's like 5 bucks per month. Very unlikely he will live long enough to pay it off.

I am 99.9 % sure that he is not, if you are scared you had better stay home.

Thats Cool Damian. I thought about tracks. We plow around here so I dont think Ill need it. Right now there are three families (including me) living up here full time. The other two are in their 80's. At some point it will just be me living up here. I'm a half mile from the pavement. When its just me up here Ill probably get tracks because there wont be anyone plowing the road.
