In the early eighties there was a television commercial about a guy who bought a General Store in Cascade, Idaho.
“Monday at the office
They’ll notice I’m not there.
They’ll look around, unplug my phone
And take my favorite chair.‘Cause I started out two days ago
On a life they’ll never know
I bought myself this General Store
In Cascade, Idaho!Me and my RC, me and my RC…”
I’m not sure about the RC cola, but Cascade would be a great place to own a General Store. Traveling across this country I feel privileged to be able to visit places like Cascade. To sum up the the majesty of these mountains with mere words seems an impossible task. How do I describe the skyline of a snow covered crest? The hushed whisper of wind through tall firs? The rivers musical plunge down the boulder studded gorge?
Idaho is known as the Gem State, and it is a gem for outdoorsman of all sorts. Kayakers, skiiers, hunters, hikers, and others. Idaho is a gem.
