Welcome Susan! I believe I may have spent a day out your way! I spent some time in Idaho Falls and although I generally had to stay in my area, (I was a LDS missionary mostly at the IF Temple Visitor's Center), I got out every once in a while!
I almost consider myself part Idahoan having spent 2 years at Ricks College, BYU Idaho now, and the year and a half on a mission. 5 months of that was spent in American Falls.
The people I met in Idaho are some of the best I've ever known!!
