Home of the racist pschyco white supremacist speed freaks (and one or 2 normal people) and, oh yeah, a few Mormons...

It used to be legal to walk on the interstate in Idaho but that all changed when the Californicators moved in w/their kids & psycho tendencies so Idaho made it illegal in order to be able to do 'field interviews'. They don't chase you off the hiway, they just takedown all your pertinent information on a 'white card' and try to get you to give them your social security #.

DON't give a cop that #, they HAVE NO REASON TO ASK YOU. IT IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO CRIMIAL ACTIVITY - HOWEVER IF IT IS BROADCAST OVER A RADIO AND PICKED UP BY A CIVILIAN W/A SCANNER OR AN UNSCRUPULOUS POLICE DISPATCHER - YOUR CREDIT RECORD IS SHOT!

A FRIEND OF MINE IN TX IS STILL GOING THRU HELL THANX TO A SIMILAR SCENARIO.

REMEMBER KIDS: NO ONE CAN GET A FAKE CREDIT CARD USING YOUR NAME W/JUST A D.L. #, BUT THEY can w/a s.s. #!

Anyhoo, relevant stuff: good pizza in 'Malad'.
It's hard to get arrested in Idaho unless you REALLLY fuck up - but be warned, they have VERY long sentences for the slightest infractions...
Example: driving w/no license is 30 days to 1 yr...yikes!
So if you get a ticket for ANYTHING, appear before a judge, then exit the state ASAP.

Also, it seems like the atmospheric energy in Idaho always conspires to make your trip longer than it should be...
EXAMPLE: In Wallace (on I-90, home to the last traffic lite on the interstate) I'm on the side of the road for 6 hrs w/a local cop watching the ramp the whole time. Now, he could have talked to me at ANY time but noooooooooo - he waited 'til a Volkswagen bus w/GD STICKERS & 'Vermont or bust' in the window pulls over. So as I'm running toward the ride, he hits the blues and pulls me over and tells me I can't hitchhike at nite in Idaho.
Well, the freaks, having an iq higher than bread mold, beat feet when they saw the strobes (very smart - I wouldn't want in on that trap either...)

Long story short: were it not for that one action I would have made the show on time!
(State Troopers don't DO this shit (it's ALWAYS local cops!)).

I don't think any town in Idaho has mass transit, and no I don't know why all the divorced Mormon guys you'll meet want their next wife to have a 'temple recommend' and be able to wear 'garments' (long underwear important to Mormons for some reason - the snow maybe?).
Personally I like girls in lacy kinda see-thru type underwear but I'm not a Mormon, so what do I know?

Oh yeah, the psycho speed freaks are situated near 'Sandpoint', which is near 'Cour d'Alene', which is near 'Post Falls'. Which is near 'Treaty Rock' which is where Andrew Seltice - a Nez Perce indian chief got 'persuaded' to deed the area to a guy named 'Post'.
You can see the rock from I-90.

ROBS' EXPLANATION OF WHY THERE SEEMS TO BE SO MUCH WHITE TRASH IN THE Idaho panhandle AREA: IT'S GOT THE ONLY GREYHOUND TRACK FOR 700 MILES IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
Build it and the hillbillies will come...

Expect to take at least a day on I-90.
2-3 on 84.
1-2 on I-15 (where a guy threw me out of his car 'cuz I said I had a car like his in high school, said I was 'arguing w/him').
Oh well, at least he put me out near a rest area (fortunately the dr.pepper truck guy was there and saw the whole sordid affair and felt sorry for me and gave me a dr.pepper.

A 72 oz. steak diner is available at the 'Stage Stop' truck stop on I-84.
Its $50.00 or free if you eat it all in an hour...72 oz steak, potato, salad and ice tea and I think a pudding, but I'm not sure...*burp*.

And forget about the northbound non-interstate roads such as U.S.95 unless you *already* have a ride up them...or at least 1/2 way - if you DO use them, try to get dropped off within 10 miles of an interstate...(near a TOWN!).

Ahhh Illinois, land of Lincoln in springtime...sniffff. See ya there...

CONCERT VENUES: ha! made ya look!
