Last year I was fortunate to have been given the nod to write about the state where I was born and raised. Thank YOU for mentioning and writing about Owyhee County, an area a lot of outsiders know little or nothing about. And Amigo Kenneth Weene, you are correct about the trout and the Basque food. Funny you mention the Basque, because Owyhee County has probably more Basque people than anywhere else outside the metro Boise area. Growing up I took eating Trout and Bass fish for granted. Now, I pay a hefty price at restaurants when I want or need to eat fish which was virtually free from whence I came.Rico Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-25128840336650964882016-03-20T14:00:06.832-05:002016-03-20T14:00:06.832-05:00Idaho sounds like an awesome place!

Idaho is the best kept secret in this country. It's gorgeous. I've been to Silver City and it's a great place to visit. The drive up is spectacular as long as you don't meet anyone coming in the opposite direction. I've driven from Salt Lake City to Boise on death highway 84, but despite it's nickname, the trip is amazing. From Table Rock and Star you can see the Owyhee and Boise range and the foothills of the Rockies. I hope to return in May for my granddaughter's graduation from Capitol HS. Will check out the book set in Silver City. <br />franoren2@yahoo.comFran Orensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274045061050774468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-44681644054522982632016-03-20T12:38:46.046-05:002016-03-20T12:38:46.046-05:00Jacquie, believe it or not, I've been to the s...Jacquie, believe it or not, I've been to the southern tip of Idaho.
