Idaho is beautiful. Passed through parts on the way to visit our daughter in Oregon a couple of times. Next time I want to do the Lolo pass on our sidecar rig.

That is some beautiful country Ken!
That's a beautiful scene Ken, it sure would be nice to have a home with that view.
Thumbs up!!!
NOW you tell me...
Where'd all the trees go? Nice pic but you need to plant some trees.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

There is a little town of Keuterville very near where I took this photo. After church yesterday we drove to the Keuterville Pub and Grub for a late lunch/early dinner. What was interesting was the mountains along US-95 ,as far as we could see north and south, were covered with snow. We have lived in Idaho 36 years come August and driven US-95 many time as this time of year. We have never seen all the low lying and higher ridges covered with snow this late into spring.
The whole trip was a beautiful spring scene!

I wondered where spring went....because it's certainly been AWOL here until the last few days. Last year I mowed the yard on April 1st. This year we had 6" of snow and on the 2nd the temperature was -2 Fahrenheit. It made made 70 here finally. Field work is just beginning to get off to a good start. Usually all corn is planted or nearly all of it by now. Lovely scenery out there Ken. Almost as nice as miles and miles of corn and soy beans. LOL Just kidding there. We went through on Amtrak last year but we were probably close to a couple hundred miles north of you. It is beautiful country up there. Thanks for sharing the scenery with us.

I was born in Illinois, graduated from HS in Illinois. My wife is from Illinois. My two oldest children were born in Illinois. I moved to Idaho from a Chicago suburb. I appreciate corn and soy beans. They help feed the world.

My daughter sent us a photo of the lovely spring they are having in Helena, MT a couple of weeks ago. It was right after they had received about 8" of snow during the night. Not sure if Lewiston has been having the same type of winter, but Helena, most of Montana in fact, is at almost double the normal precipitation for the year. Most years no one cries about getting too much snow since Montana generally needs as much as they can get, but not the case this year. Most are tired of the snow and looking for some warm weather and clear skies.
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.
