I thought about boring you all with the news of why Congressman Simpson was at the Chester Wetlands, and what Senator Crapo's latest conservation ideas were. But really, who wants to be bored with politics, especially since there will probably be too much of that talk at the table later today?
So, let's just remember why we're so thankful for this great State.
Think for a moment about the North Country Mountains - the Selkirks...
The rolling hills of the Palouse...
The Camas Prairie (#1), and some of our favorite steelhead stomping grounds - Riggins...
The Central Mountains, the Payette & Weiser River...
The Owyhees...
The Camas Prairie (#2), the high valley and town of Fairfield...
The Sawtooths...
The Salmon River as it works its way through Clayton, Challis, Salmon...
The Frank Church Wilderness...
The Centennial Mountains over to Henry's Lake & Island Park...
The rolling barley fields that gently merge into the Teton foothills...
The Henry's Fork and the South Fork...
The extreme Southeast mountains & Bear Lake...
And the mighty Snake River that defines much of who we are, from Idaho Falls to Lewiston.
You bet I'm thankful for Idaho.
