Tuesday Travelogue-January 27th

By
Real Estate Agent with John L Scott Market Center 700512026

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our thirtieth week! Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

 

" to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

 and hopefully much more!

 

(Be sure and click on the links in blue.)

This week, we've moved onto "I" in the travels across America. The "I's" have it! Here we go, Idaho!

How 'bout a "Welcome to Idaho" sign to begin with?

WaCanId Ride 2014 Idaho Canada Border

This travel post by my friend, Mark Don McInnes from North Idaho shows us an international treat that bicyclers from around the world in Sandpoint, Idaho  get to enjoy! 350 miles--wow, my butt hurts just thinking about it!!

It looks like Bill Young gets the most out of living in Idaho and that makes me excited to spotlight this fella whom I've not come across til now. This post is about Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Greenbelt Idaho Falls Idaho

Idaho Falls is another pleasurable place I found by perusing localism posts in our Local Info area (under Resources on the task bar). I found this great localism post by Julie Kippen (with lots of pictures, my favorite kind), way back in 2008. See, you just never know when one of your posts will surface, no matter how old! 

Home for sale in Bonners Ferry Idaho

When I saw the name Bonners Ferry, Idaho, well, for some reason I was drawn to it. Then I saw this post, "I went topless in beautiful Bonners Ferry Idaho!" and I just couldn't resist ending our trip in Idaho, by going TOPLESS!! Thank you, Janna Scharf for this bit of of fun in May in Idaho!

Please don't forget to comment on these blogposts and I hope that you enjoyed all of these virtual travels. Feel free to join our group:

This is really cool Gayle. I love all the photos and it makes me feel young. I have heard that Bonners Ferry Idaho is really nice but never been to Idaho. It's on my list.

So exciting.  Idaho is one state I have not yet been to but I have heard of Coeur d'Alene and intend to visit - Bonners Ferry sounds like a place out of a Jack London novel and going topless in those gorgeous falls sounds incredibly liberating  I'm in!

I've enjoyed trips to Idaho and they have plenty to do. The bicycle trip that Mark sponsors looks like a great ride. I'll have to check out some of the others - I went topless..? Hoping its about a convertible. :)

Hi Gayle --- you're right --- trouble free travel...no long lines at the TSA...no delays...

Virtual traveling is one way to enjoy seeing new areas and can provide the inspiration to see them in person.
