Description

When Jack and Betty Bonzey honeymooned in British Columbia 35 years ago, they drove through the Idaho panhandle on their way back to their California ranch house. "What a great place to live," they thought.

Stop. Fast forward. It's January 1989, and the Bonzeys are retracing their honeymoon steps through a snowy Idaho winter. They stop in Athol. "What a wonderful place to retire," they think. They spend 10 days looking for the right property in the area on which to spend their leisure years.

"There was nothing out here then," recalls Betty, "just a working farm with bales of hay." But farmland is just what they envisioned, because it offers peace and tranquility. So they buy it. For five years, they spend every summer working their 10 acres of land. What remained were lovely Ponderosa pines, all “volunteers,” that is, naturally seeded and not planted by man.
