Poll: Your Own Private Idaho

[bill4long]

Pros and cons living in Idaho?

[Dr. Shades]

Yes, there are both.

[Jersey Girl]

Pros and cons living in Idaho?

Pretty much, yeah. Like anywhere else.

[Res Ipsa]

It really depends on whether you are living in Idaho or your own private Idaho or as your own Duncan Idaho.

When I was at the Y, our performance group my first year had a couple of shows in Boise, and we spent a forlorn February night there.

I have, literally, never felt as cold as I did that evening, traveling from our venue to our sleeping locations, trying to survive the night, and then having to get up at 430am to get our bus back to Provo. All in complete darkness. To be fair, I had spent most of my life in an Arizona desert up until then, so it shouldn't have been such a surprise. Still, I spent a fair number of hours in my bed that evening morosely imagining how devoid of movement anything at Zero degrees Kelvin might actually be.


I am not enamored of Idaho.

Pros: Libraries aren't woke.
cons: cold.

Lucky Friday is a deep underground silver, lead, and zinc mine located in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District in northern Idaho. The mine began operating in 1942. Hecla now controls 100% of the Gold Hunter deposit, also known as the Lucky Friday Expansion Area. At the Lucky Friday, we pioneered the Underhand Closed Bench (UCB) mining method. Watch our animation video to learn more about how UCB is increasing safety and productivity. In 2023, Lucky Friday is expected to produce 5.0 to 5.3 million ounces of silver.

The #4 Shaft Project, an internal shaft at the Lucky Friday Mine and a key growth project, reaches 9,600 feet below the surface. The #4 Shaft is an important part of Lucky Friday’s future as it provides access to the highest-grade ore in the mine’s history which is located in the Gold Hunter/Lucky Friday Expansion Area.

There are trout in the Clearwater system. Wilderness in central idaho and potatoes south. Well Boise has grown with Tech related business I gather. Driving by it is very large compared to my childhood memory.

Pros: Libraries aren't woke.

You mean they don't allow kids access to porn?

So, you actually mean "pros and cons of visiting Idaho?"
