Experience Adventure the Idaho Way

Silverwood Amusement Park - Athol, Idaho
Idaho boasts a number of great places to see and activities to enjoy in both land and water. It is no wonder why Idahoans love to invite visitors to their state. While in Idaho, here are some of the best things to do that can kill your boredom:

Skiing and Boarding
Country-style skiing is what you can enjoy in the beautiful mountain resorts in Idaho. Some of the most recommended resorts are Tamarack Resort, Sun Valley Resort, Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Silver Mountain Resort, Brundage Mountain Resort and Bogus Basin Mountain Resort.

Fishing
While in Idaho, fishing is something you should try. In here, you can spend some time for fly-fishing at the South Fork of the Snake and Henry’s Fork. It’s either you practice catch-and-release or catch some fish for dinner. Idaho is such an ideal fishing spot.

Whitewater Rafting and Kayaking
Water adventure is done best in Idaho as it is known for having more whitewater river miles compared to other states. The best whitewater rafting spots are found at the Payette, Lochsa River and the Snake.

Fort Hall Indian Casino - I-15 Fwy, Exit 80
Casino Adventure
For those who are on the hunt for casino entertainment, Idaho boasts its own share of casino hubs. If gaming is what you are looking for, you can spend some time at the Fort Hall Casino, Coeur d'Alene Casino, Clearwater River Casino & Resort or Best Western Plus Kootenai River Inn Casino and Spa. However, if going to any of these places takes so much time, an exciting alternative is through mobile casinos using your phone or tablet.

Golfing
Golfing is such delightful activity in Idaho. It is home to the best golf resorts in the world. It is for this reason that people come to Idaho. A golf vacation package is truly worth a try.

Family Activities
Idahoans make sure that every minute is spent productively and meaningfully. Since the state is gifted with natural attractions, people will always grab the chance to spend some time enjoying the great outdoors. Activities such as camping, boating and swimming make families bond together. Although Idaho is quite laid-back in lifestyle, some people go for a picnic bringing their gadgets with them so they could play mobile casinos.

Spending some time in Idaho is a confirmation that there will never be a dull moment. From undiscovered municipal gems to world-class resorts, Idaho will guarantee you unending recreational activities. While there is a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sceneries, it would also be fun to explore casino games at http://mobile-casinos.org.uk/.

Fun in the Sun: The Lagoon Amusement Park (but wait, it gets better...)

I spent the week in Salt Lake for work, and am going down to California to visit my boys for the weekend.  It means 6 days in hotel rooms, but it's a fun adventure.

My gf is coming down to Cali with me, and joined me in Salt Lake Friday.  We decided to go to Utah's 125 year old Amusement Park, The Lagoon.


The Lagoon was a fun trip, but not for the conventional "Disneyland-esque" ways.  For example, Lagoon has rollercoasters, and Disneyland does not.

In fact, one of Lagoon's rollercoasters is called... wait for it... Roller Coaster.

Built in 1921, this wooden monstrosity is older than my Grandparents, and felt like it.  The ride was rickety, the wood looked ancient, and the ride's decorations were all "old-timey."  No loops or major twists, but the scary part of the roller coaster was its age.

There were other roller coasters, as well as a good handful of water rides.  Within hours, we were soaked and smiling.

Some of the other attractions at Lagoon were the people.  It was almost more fun to people-watch than to ride the rides.

Mormons were everywhere and easy to spot.  Even with a water park, you'd see 'modest' girls wearing a tanktop with a t-shirt underneath.  Men had polos on, side-parted hair, and perfect posture.

If they were exiting from a coaster screaming "Gosh that was a scary ride!" you knew what you were dealing with.

Another thing that bothered me were all the young girls aged 8-14 dressing as skimpy as possible.  My generation, the slutty tweens went to the mall.  In 21st century Utah they go to the Lagoon.  The picture on the left doesn't do it justice but will give you the gist.

Imagine 11-12 year old girls wearing tight skimpty booty shorts, a cutoff button-down tshirt, with the middle as open as possible.  There was a pair walking around with bling-ish "Babydoll" necklaces and showing as much skin as possible.  One had on a polkadot bikini top that at least covered her boobs up.  The other (poor thing hadn't 'blossomed' yet...) had on ahalf-sheer bikini top.

My gf wanted to know what their necklaces said, so I tried to peek while being sly.  They were hard to read, but I eventually got "Babydoll" from the cheap rhinestones.  The bad part was I also inadvertently saw preteen nipple because of the sheer bikini top.

I still feel dirty.  I've showered 3 times and my skin is raw.... WHY CAN'T I GET CLEAN???

Overall it was a fun trip, but I'm looking more forward to hanging with my boys this weekend.  Maybe I'll take them to Knott's Berry Farm, and show them a REAL amusement park???
