Welcome to Bad Ass Small Town Mountain Living Blog
My name is Pamella S. Yates, and I am the proud author and founder of this Blog, which serves as a reflection of my journey and the beauty I have encountered in my life. I moved to the mountains in 1979 when I was just a girl, filled with dreams and a sense of adventure. Growing up surrounded by nature’s majesty, I felt a deep connection to these sweeping landscapes and the vibrant wildlife that called them home. I have been through many hardships, facing challenges that tested my resilience, and yet, I have also celebrated numerous good times that filled my heart with joy. Over the years, I have seen much and experienced an abundance of life in these here mountains of Idaho, from the breathtaking seasonal changes to the quiet moments under starlit skies. Each experience has shaped who I am today, and through this Blog, I hope to share my stories and inspire others who may find solace and strength in the beauty of nature.
