Idaho State Parks sees record-breaking visitation numbers

Idaho State Parks sees record-breaking visitation numbers Katie Kloppenburg, KIVI Share This BOISE (KIVI) — Idaho State Parks had a record-breaking year with 7,6571,582 people visiting the parks in 2020. The previous record was set in 2019 with 6,468,159 visitors, after several years of steady growth. “It’s a mind-boggling number,” said Brian Beckley, chairman of the Idaho Parks and Recreation Board, which oversees the department. “Never before have we had so many people come out to our parks. But with the pandemic keeping people indoors and isolated, outdoor recreation became one of the few things people could do responsibly to beat COVID cabin fever.”

What Is Eagle Island ?

What Is Eagle Island ? Saturday night I was having dinner with friends when one of them mentioned that they were taking their kids to Eagle Island. I immediately asked... What is that? and why haven't I heard of it before? I mean I've lived in Boise for a total of 4 years, you would think that I would be familiar with it but that was definitely not the case. Where have I been all this time? Talk about missing out, apparently Eagle Island is a winter playground where you can go tubing, ski'n and boarding with your family and friends without having to take a 4 hour drive up to McCall or ride a bus up to Bogus. Don't get me wrong I love a McCall weekend but if you're looking to do something fun with the kids or with friends for a few hours this is the spot. Check out their IG @gatewayparkseagle and you're gonna want to make a reservation asap. If you just moved here or are like me and just hadn't discovered this family fun spot, you owe it to yourself to check it out. See all the particulars below compliments of their website GatewayParks.com

OFF RADAR: 'Didn't Do Much but a Little of Everything'

OFF RADAR: ‘Didn’t Do Much but a Little of Everything’ Diary of Dalton Raynes offers an unusual look at 1897 coastal Maine By Dana Wilde Share “Didn’t Do Much but a Little of Everything: The 1897 Eagle Island Diary of Dalton Raynes,” Ian Ludders, ed.; Lulu.com, Morrisville, N.C., 2020; 248 pages, softcover, $10.30. Despite its title, “Didn’t Do Much but a Little of Everything: The 1897 Eagle Island Diary of Dalton Raynes” devotes far fewer pages to the text of fisherman Dalton Raynes’s diary than it does to detailing “the vast familial spiderweb of nineteenth century Penobscot Bay.” This might sound dry. The book comprises the diary; ruminative, often lengthy footnotes; photos; a fisherman’s expense ledgers; reproductions of century-old news articles; and other miscellaneous materials such as the editor’s digressive comments on how Native American culture invisibly infuses our lives even now. It all grows like weeds from the terse, fragmentary, but undeniably poetic entries of the diary. It’s all fascinating.

Wisconsin Author Reflects on Childhood in New Book

Wisconsin Author Reflects on Childhood in New Book By Jon Fuller Wisconsin SHARE APOSTLE ISLANDS, Wis. — Bob Dahl grew up on one of the Apostle Islands, a group of 22 islands off the Bayfield Peninsula. He’s sharing his childhood stories in a book, “The Islander: Coming of Age in the Apostle Islands.” His family members were year-round residents on Sand Island. Dahl looks back on his unique childhood fondly. “We were so lucky. I call it our Disney World,” said Dahl. His home on Sand Island’s East Bay was about three miles from the mainland. “At its peak was probably about 75 or 80 people living out there but no cars, no electricity, running water, none of that kind of stuff,” Dahl said. “Before my time, and I was born in 1942, there was a fairly good sized year round community in what we call East Bay. There were probably 8 -1 0 families.  There were so many families that they even had a school there for about ten years.”

Late lobstermen Andy Gove's memoir published  - Mount Desert Islander

Late lobstermen Andy Gove’s memoir published  STONINGTON — Andrew Gove, a legend along the Maine coast, started writing down his stories more than a decade ago. He kept on writing up until he died in June at the age of 90. The stories in his memoir, “The Life of a Maine Lobsterman: 82 Years on the Water,” tell of his growing up on Eagle Island in a large extended family, his earliest days of lobstering, flying a two-seater Cessna, participating in the lobster boat races up and down the coast and more.  Gove represents a disappearing Maine culture. In 1937 at age 7, he started lobstering and didn’t quit for 82 years. That hard-work ethic stemmed directly from his upbringing on Eagle Island.
