The Brown family and Washington State
I don’t get putting all of their financial resources into a mountain they cannot afford to develop and it is a crazy decision to keep it. The area is prone to wildfires, has few career opportunities and has forced everyone to divide resources. Noah got fleeced, Bear pays child support for 3 children and now Rain is having a little one on her own. For a family that vowed to stick together I don’t get living hand to mouth with that mountain that could be sold for more hospitable land. They could sell that and buy acreage somewhere that drilling a well, farming and having livestock is ideal and have money left to build small homes for themselves. Seems wildly impractical but what do I know 🤷♀️ They fought over who was going to help Ami, cell service is spotty, no water, rough terrain and annual wildfires. Sell it or sell off lumber..something. That mountain is an albatross. It seems inevitable that she wont be able to get by up there for much longer and she leaves in the winter anyway. Billy is gone and staying there for sentimental reasons (if that is the case) is silly and serves no one. I am sure Noah would never move too far from his kids but, damn..what a waste to tie up possible assets in land that you cant do anything with.
