Yeah, their is a reason people from up here head to quartzite in the winter.  Haven't had any real snow yet, but temps are getting with highs of 15 now.  People who visit me usually use public services like the nearby dump station etc, and the water there has been turned off for the winter.  KOA next door leaves at the end of October and doesn't come back til April, but they are whimps from warmer areas anyways.

How many people live there year round?

The town is of 900 in a county of 3,000 with the nearest wal-mart at 65 miles lol.  There is a tiny grocery store in town and a family dollar, lumber yard and a couple of gas stations.  If the question is how many people stay at honeys year round then the answer is me and my dog, though I don't plan on being here every winter, just had a rough year that set my plans back.   Arco is the county seat, with only one or two other small towns in the county, the biggest of which has 100 people or so 15 miles north.  Butte County is pretty empty, partly as it sits on the edge of the Idaho desert, and the Idaho National Labs (51 nuclear reactors and a bunch of research and navy stuff) sit between us and Idaho Falls (Idahos second largest city and the location of said wal-mart.

So, how far do you have to go for the nearest gas station then? I take it there are none there, especially in the winter?
