Aug 4th, 2008 at 11:30AM: Idaho State Parks are seeking to redefine camping. The places where Ernest Hemingway used to pitch his tent and cast his fly rod is going wireless. At least, some of them are. Park officials are looking closely at an experimental program that currently connects five state parks to the internet. The parks in question are Bruneau Dunes, Harriman, Henrys Lake and Ponderosa. So far feedback has been ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Feb 27th, 2008 at 2:00PM: At the end of this year's Oscar winner for Short Film--Animated, "Peter and the Wolf," the wolf goes free even after he made Peter not too happy. (Sorry if that ruins it for anyone.) The tolerance for the wolf is one that has been hard won.
Tolerance hasn't been totally won, although, through the Endangered Species Act, government regulations have helped the gray wolf population grow in the ...Cleaning museum to open in Pocatello, Idaho
Dec 19th, 2007 at 4:30PM: If you're looking for the ideal family vacation destination -- one that's fun for every age, and maybe a bit educational as well -- you have something to look forward to. Don Aslett's Cleaning Museum is scheduled to open in fall 2008 in the small southeastern Idaho town Pocatello. Don Aslett started a international janitorial company, and is as big a cleaning fan as you can find. In fact, in ...Photo of the Day (10/3/07)

Not quite like this one--this is on the Snake River in the Grand Teton National Park, a far piece from Ohio. I love the soft dreamy quality of the reflections in the water contrasted with the brittle look of the foliage. The kayakers are the transition between the two. ...Old Idaho Penitentiary
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 3:28PM: My big day in Boise went out with a bang as I ended up behind bars at the Old Idaho Penitentiary. This was another attraction that appeared in my Google searches and ranked pretty high on the list of things to do. Prior to my trip to the Old Idaho Pen, I'd never been to jail with the exception of a never-ending game of Monopoly. The minute me and my pal walked into the old cells which haven't ...Idaho's Black History Museum
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 1:36PM: As you may have noticed by now most of my travel over the last few weeks has been throughout the Mid-West and in the Mid-West you tend to find nothing, but museums built around the history of the Mid-West. Makes good sense right? Well after so many stops at these places the history all starts to sound the same and another buffalo or Indian tale begins to become a little on the played out side. For ...Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial
Nov 3rd, 2006 at 11:31AM: When I did a search for Boise attractions I was totally caught off guard to see this Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial pop up. I wondered what connection the young Jewish girl who seemed to have became the voice of human hope through her diary kept during the Holocaust had with the state? While there is no direct connection the reality is a site like this one should be placed on every corner ...
