Jack Sawyer Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The new KSUN to Boise, KBOI. Came back around for an inspection. Now off to Boise, I miss it so much. I used to ride my motorcycle and go fishing and camping here. Land of the alleged "Bigfoot" Used to water ski in this river. Coming into the city area, it's exactly like this. I used to live near the State House. Below you can see the Boise River, and a 13 mile bike trail I'd ride on every day. Used to work here, miss it a lot. This is what happens when you have no rudder pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingleaf Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Great shots Jack. Love Boise too. Beautiful walkways along the river right into down town. Just wished the weather you selected was "real" for us here. We got a 12" plus dump on us here in Langley. Ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So that's where all those "Jack was here" carvings came from. Nice shots of a well-remembered place. Not to rub salt, Jack, but Boise was recently voted one of the best cities for living in America. Of course, Atlanta makes most of those same lists, so I guess you haven't done too bad for yourself.

It’s a beautiful place, everything is there and the sidewalk vendors at night near the college are awesome too. I’ll have to do a real time flight next to see the snow. We got a little rain today and a tornado warning but it quickly moved away. 75 F today, slim chance for snow this year. I’m hoping though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A fantastic flight Jack over some wonderful country. An excellent narration and interesting to hear about the places you frequented in those days. Tell me though, you had to leave Boise because you had no rudder pedals!

Got them back today and working perfectly, if I only had the time, ain’t it always the way? I had to leave that fine place for work. Wish I could have stayed.

And yes, I believe the stories, too many doctors, lawyers, forest service people and other professionals have some very credible stories. It’s big and empty enough there that’s for sure. They even have to this day Vietnam bets living there unseen by the public and living off the land. They live in caves and lean to’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having seen a documentary where people went into the wood in search for bigfoot, and beat a tree trunk with a club at night, and some seconds later they say someone answered in the same way... that was spooky for sure. And the story with the Vietnam veterans living there in caves isn't dull either! So basically you can run into a big hairy ape or into John Rambo there.

Idaho is huge with very few people. I remember driving my motorcycle for miles and miles and being nothing but trees. And I used to love visiting real, actual, old ghost towns. Now that was fun.
