Background:
In the early to mid-1990s, Jim Rawles and his family were living on 40 acres near Orofino, Idaho.  It was a viable, defendable retreat with a southern exposure. It had both a spring and a good well that was pumped with a photovoltaic power system.  But the property lacked privacy, since the house was in plain view of a county road.  This lack of privacy kept Jim on the lookout for a better property.

In 1996, Jim heard about a ranch property that was for sale near Stites, in nearby Idaho County, Idaho. The property was 160 acres and included an additional adjoining 120 acre BLM grazing permit (renewable). The property was a side canyon, off the South Fork of the Clearwater River. The first time that Jim and the Memsahib walked the property, they fell in love with it.
