Free Taters for Out-of-Staters.

Ah Idaho... Where they grow potatoes. And I will say they do grow a lot of potatoes. They even take time off of school for the potato harvest, which is cool. Anyways our travels brought us to Idaho to visit Tiny Tara, who had a sweet setup for us including food/drinks and our own trailer. We arrived pretty late cause we drove from Portland and stopped in Boise to see my friend Willie for a little while. Anyways... long story short, Ashley thought Tara's dog was a puppet and we woke up the baby.

Some of our previous excursions were centered around historic events however this is not the case with Idaho because nothing historic has happened there. We instead changed subjects and decided to focus on geology, which is Idaho's pride and joy (besides potatoes).

The town Tara lives in is called Idaho Falls. At one point Tara told me an elaborate story about how the town got it's name and what it used to be called and stuff. Basically there are a lot of ins and outs and what-have-yous about this little community but all you really need to remember is that it is the town in Idaho with the little waterfall. Hence the name.

Several people including Tara and her parents bragged about the giant potato and the "free taters for out-of-staters" available at the potato museum. So needless to say we planned a visit. Turns out the free taters aren't so free, in fact, you have to pay for them. And the giant potato isn't as big as Tara thought it was.

We all enjoyed our stay in Idaho (including the Tiny Tara sized shower in the basement) and would like to thank Tara and her family for their hospitality.

The trailer was the shit.

The end.
