It’s 2030 in Idaho. The Tea Party is the majority party in America. The budget crisis was solved by selling off tens of millions of acres of public lands, mostly in the East. Idaho is a different place than it was at the turn of the century. I’m still standing at the age of 77. I attribute my condition to medical miracles and the fact that the movie I produced — “Firestorm: Last Stand in Yellowstone” — became a cult classic, generating millions for my retirement. I have been asked by the Idaho Historical Society to describe what has happened during the last 30 years/Rocky Barker, Idaho Statesman. More here.
