Funny you mention that. I looked at a flipper house in Gville last year and decided it needed to be burned down. I saw the Zillow ad and got to thinking about how cool a 2nd story deck would be to drink coffee and enjoy the views. IRL it ended up being a POS money pit. Beware of wet basement issues on the north side. City storm runoff management is non-existent to the north of Hwy 13.
There is something really special about the views on the Camas Prairie. 360° mountains and prairie. I look for the Seven Devils every time I come down Hwy 95 south.
Almost all the nicer homes are south of the main drag, affordable north.
Lot's of old families in the area. Germans and Scandinavians.
Idaho Forest Group runs the Guy Bennett Mill in town. USFS NP/Clearweater used to be a big presence in town, but the SO is now moved to Kamiah.
As others have said Lewis and Clark Wildlife Club in Lapwai is not a bad shooting range. An organized range with 500 gongs. I'm keep a membership even though it is a little hard for me to get there after work. Much closer for Gville.
Decent pizza place and Mexican place, decent sporting goods store. Still has a drive in theater.
40 years ago I fell in love with the girl working at the Maverick Store. The relationship played out in my head while driving down to my sister's in Kooskia. It wasn't meant to last.
Definitely. Even better if you get the Idaho Gasden Flag special plate! "MAGA" and "TRUMP" vanity plates are probably taken already. Remove all Biden/Harris stickers if you have them. Replace them with "Smoke a Pack a day" sticker and you will be OK. If you drive a Subaru, go straight to Gortsema's and get a good 'Murican truck. (Kind of kidding on that one)
Helpful hints:
The river towns are pronounced "Kam-ee-ai" and "Koosky". Nothing says newb like getting them wrong. Oh - the town on the way to Lewiston is pronounced "LapWAY". It is the Nez Perce Tribal headquarters. A little sensitivity goes a long way.
Mount Idaho is where a lot of the baddies
@TheTone talked about live. Just keep driving.
