          You know, I overnighted in Idaho twice a couple of years ago, when driving across the country. Both times I stopped in a Lolo National Forest and camped, saw no one, spoke to no one.

          I’m thinking that was probably the best case scenario. I’m quite certain I didn’t even stop for fuel within Idaho’s borders.

            I live in Jackson, Wyoming. We and Idaho have twin Teton Counties which are affectionately referred to as “Wydaho”. It is, with no hyperbole, the greatest place I have ever lived in. The problem is always the psychotic state government. The locals are actually VERY nice, especially on the less crowded Idaho side.

            EDIT: The parts of Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee I have seen are also very beautiful.

            We had to drive from Oregon to Montana a few times during the pandemic years and made sure not to stop for gas in Idaho.

      And it sucks. We loved going to Nashville and other parts for concerts, the food, etc but we can’t support this insanity. We decided to nix Tennessee with the last big news story and now this.
