Across the Street

This is my front yard.

Pretty, huh?

City of Rocks

Located in the Southeast corner of Idaho, near the Utah border.

Granite paradise.

Home

With the sage and a mountain view;

spring winds and the scent of rain...

There's simply no place like Idaho.

MY FAVORITE IDAHOAN COWGIRL

Classic:

i didn't expect it

when i moved here

out of the heat of the southwest

i always have yearned for the

great northern plains

for those long stretches of flat gold

and a living sky

but the longer

i call the mountains home

the smaller the chance

i'll ever leave

At the heart of Old Town:

High Schol Rodeo Finals, Pocatello

And the crazy thing is that not only were these kids incredible horsemen and horsewomen, 90% of them (easily) were honor students and double or triple lettering in sports at their respective high schools. And most of them had full ride scholarships to universities all over the West.   There's the future of ranching America -- awesome wranglers and bright people.
