Geez! No one goes to Idaho!!!! Just for the heck of it I tried to pull up some info about Idaho tourism. Not a whole heck of a lot of info out there. Frommers, who has a guide to just about everywhere, doesn't even have one for Idaho. Looking at a few websites it appears it is as beautiful and rugged as it's surrounding Montana, Wyoming, and Washington. However, the name Idaho doesn't seem to have the same pizazz as their neighbors. The only city I know there, off the top of my head, is Boise. Even that name dunt really grab me. They need some sort of slogan. Oh Boise! Idaho is fun! Nah, that just doesn't work. Boise and Idaho. Couldn't they have thought a better names? Perhaps they should consider changing their name to some sort of Native American name. <A wiseman with a peace pipe whispers in Clappy's ear that Idaho IS a Native American name. So's Boise. It means enchanted land of potatoes.> Alright I suppose the name Idaho can stay but maybe they can try to get away from that potato connotation. When I think Idaho I think spuds. Dirty little potatoes growing roots and trying to latch onto something under the kitchen sink. Trying to take root in the drying, sticky puddle of liquid dish soap, and an old brillo pad. Not really something I want to think about as a travel destination. They need to hire a Public Relations firm to help them out. I bet Idaho is the best kept vacation secret. I bet Murrey has been there 12 times but just keeps telling everyone he's going to the Swiss Alps and Prague. In fact, RR is probably building condos there right now as we speak to get away from the crowds of Beckenridge and to be the first one with a condo in Moyle Springs. Moyle Springs... There's another one of those Idahoan names fer ya... Oof. -ClappyTheNewDirectorOfIdahoanTouristRelations
