Why There Will Never Be a Litogether in Idaho

[McKenna]

1. As far as I know, I'm the only AH irregular that lives in Idaho. Who would I get together with? Me, myself, and I?!

2. Dueling Banjos is the state anthem.

3. People in Idaho actually find this amusing:

4. One section of the Aryan Nations is headquarted in Hayden Lake, Idaho.

5. Ruby Ridge, anyone?

6. Idaho, a.k.a. Utah the Second.



On the other hand, Idaho does have the largest wilderness area in the contiguous 48 states (Frank Church Wilderness) with catchy names like the "Frank Church River of No Return."

Rafting, anyone?

Errr... maybe it's me but that seems a damn good reason to visit Idaho.

Certainly more reason that I would have to visit say.... North and South Dakota.

Bring a tent. We'll go camping.

I'd come to Idaho to see you Mckenna. Although I still would love to see us do one here in Chicago.

If you tried putting something together next summer with the wilderness activities, I'm sure there would be some of us interested in checking it out. I seem to remember doing something cool in Idaho when I was in high school and my parents took me on a cross country trip that would have made Chevy Chase grimace.

I wouldn't have gone to the New York one, even if I lived closer (I just have no interest in visiting that city). Some of us just have different interests. The rafting sounds awesome (although I could do without a tour of Ruby Ridge or the Aryan brotherhood ).

How about this instead?

I hope you like freeze-dried meals.

I hear most of Idaho is like Spokane, except without Riverfront Park. Or decent roads.

Seriously, you folk east of the mountains are a mystery to us. I hear you have KKK rallies and stuff. We have Gay Pride parades that tie up traffic for three days.

I have fond memories of Idaho, though. Went to high school in Spokane, and we used to head out to Stateline, Idaho on the weekends (drinking age was 19 in Idaho those days).

Admittedly, Lake Coeur d'Alene is pretty spectacular. Even with all the development, the unspoiled beauty of that place is something to behold.

Coeur d'Alene is gorgeous. Northern Idaho is gorgeous. In fact, about everything 30 miles north of me is gorgeous. I have the unfortunate honor of living in the southern 1/8th of the state that is desert-like.

On the up side, the Snake River canyon is beautiful.

Holy shit is that beautiful! Any chance for a balloon ride or something? I've got two bad knees from my reckless days as a wanna-be athlete. I don't think I could hike that if we had a week.

Actually, there is quite a lot of ballooning in my area in the summer. Not sure why, good conditions I guess? In fact, there's usually a balloon festival in June/July.

Or....



We could always indulge in the Saturday-night potato-peeling contest:

So what do you do after 9:00pm when everything closes?



oh, Potato games, cow tipping, swapping outfits on the neighbors scarecrow...

I see you've already visited my fine state.

Bleh, just means there's less to distract you from all the great sex!

No, but I did see Deliverance and Son=in=law.

Wait a minute... there's sex to be had here?!

No, but I did see Deliverance and Son=in=law.

Chicken.

Green Acres here I come!!!!

It is the place to be.

It beats getting roughed up by an over-zealous sewer rat.

You forgot going to the dump to watch bears. *nods*

oh, wait........that's even FURTHER north. Never mind.

Little you know, we call them Suburban Chinchillas...I'm raising a few to make you a coat. They are water proof and most of the plague has been rinsed out of them.

Will coyotes work instead?

It sounds like Christmas is going to come a little early this year.

and you thought Idaho was exciting...

Maybe I'm just a sad, sad man, but I found that to be funny.

When I was 15 or so, we traveled through a corner of Idaho (southeastern, I think) on our way back from Yellowstone. We were in an RV, and my uncle had accidently left the sewer line open, and we dropped our RV potty out on the road. We joked for a while that the next batch of potatos were going to have a neat flavor.

Did you stop and see the enormous ball of twine?

Damn! That's what we saw when I was in Idaho. Well, I guess other than the rapids and the mountains, the only thing worth seeing there is you (which still warrants a Lit-Together in my opinion).
