I've been to places like that in Idaho. Holy shit are they bizarre! We were in a tiny place way up the East Fork of the South Fork (yes this is the name of the river) of the Salmon called Yellowpine, pop now 32. Home of the Yellow Pine Harmonica Festival, which we missed. Like one store that doubled as a bar. Saw a dude riding a unicycle with a beer on his head. Was in another little town on the Payette for the 4th of July. Crouch, pop ~100. They had a parade that was more like something out of a David Lynch movie, and guys come down from the hills with ZZ Top beards lighting homemade fireworks.
Leaving Crouch at 5pm on a Friday to drive to NY after 3 weeks in ID, a piece of iron in road did a great impersonation of an IUD and put several holes in my gas tank. We actually located a local dude who towed us to his welding shop, pulled the tank and fixed it so we were on our way that night. Fucking hero!
Lovely state, great whitewater, no small town living there for me.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND
