For Something, AnywayBy Les TannerI’m a regular pickleball player at the YMCA in Caldwell, where another regular player is a guy I know fairly well. This story is about him and I suppose he could write it himself but he’d probably get facts wrong, or make something up, so I’m writing it for him. It involves a series of incidents in which this guy figured. Everyone who has played PB at the Y when he’s there would recognize him, which I guess is the point of the story.

Bruneau Canyon MishapsBy Diana HooleyThe view at the Bruneau Canyon overlook is jaw-dropping. That’s what I thought when I first saw the canyon several years ago. My family lives just an hour from the canyon, and I wondered why we hadn’t visited this scenic area earlier. Hells Canyon is deep, although you often don’t feel how deep it is, because there aren’t many steep vertical drops. The Snake River Canyon at Twin Falls is steep, but it has a golf course at the bottom.

A Floatplane ChallengeBy Matthew NelsonIn July 2004, I went to Idaho to complete my rating as a floatplane pilot that I had started in Alaska in 2002. It doesn’t take most pilots thirty-eight hours in eleven different floatplanes flown in a half-dozen states over two years to earn the Aircraft Single Engine Sea (ASES) rating, but that’s what it took me. I caught an airline flight to Boise and then drove to Coeur d’Alene.

A Rude Spire in the SticksBy Rick JustLast December, Rick penned an item in his “Speaking of Idaho” history blog that caught our attention. You’ll find out why at the end of his piece, an edited version of which we reprint here with permission. One day I was browsing through the Twenty-Third Biennial Report of the State Historical Society of Idaho published in 1922, as one does. It caught my attention that the report listed all the monuments in Idaho and associated with Idaho at the time.
