Skiing, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, shooting, mountain biking, outdoor photography, 4-wheeling, Lewis and Clark and Oregon Trail history… there are so many reasons folks come to Idaho.   Whitewater and river running is another draw that brings ‘em in from all over the country.  My brother and his lady were here yesterday for an enjoyable afternoon visit before flying back to Seattle.  They’ve been in Idaho for the past seven days on a 100 mile rafting trip on the Salmon River between Stanley and Salmon.  It sounded like such a great time, I just had to go looking on the net for more information. 

There are a number of different possibilities and companies to choose from, and trips ranging from half day floats to a week or more in the wilderness.  The range of prices is almost as large.  Here is the rafting company  they chose.  This company seems to put on a pretty deluxe adventure, and they sure impressed my brother.   He said they had a great promo DVD they got when they were deciding who to go with, and that made the difference.  It looks good to me!  I might have to get a cpoy for myself.  Here’s a little piece of it

classic caddyI was  driving by the Red Robin on Eagle Road by Fairview in Meridian this morning and saw the banner “Classic Car Show”.  So I bothered John the manager with a quick phone call to find out more. 

This is the 2nd Annual Classic Car Show for this Robin… John said they did it last year and it went really well.  This year’s event happens this coming Sunday, June 25th, from 3pm to 8pm.  He didn’t give me any contact info, so just cruise on in.  They must be expecting plenty of cars throughout the afternoon because he told me they have gift bags for the first 70 cars who show.

Car shows TWO weekends in a row!  You gotta love it.
