In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.

Autumn 2023, and I’m up a creek in Idaho!

It has been more than a decade since I hiked up the City Creek Trails in Pocatello, Idaho. I had gotten out of shape and gained a lot of weight, but I’ve recently lost some weight and felt like getting back on the trails. Unfortunately I discovered that my favorite part of the trail is now permanently closed to allow for ‘natural restoration’:

South Trail 2024: CHERRY SPRINGS NATURE AREA, IDAHO, THAWING

South Trail: Cherry Springs Nature Area, Idaho, March 2024 Thawing

On 22MAR2024, my middle daughter Aryssa, along with my dog Struppi (and I) took a hike through the thawing Cherry Springs Nature Area, in Southeastern Idaho.

The Cherry Springs Nature Area is part of the larger multi-state Caribou-Targhee National Forest (Idaho, Montana, Utah & Wyoming), and is located in the Westside Ranger District of Southeastern Idaho.  It is two miles of hiking trails, a north trail and a south trail.

There was a heavy-wet snow storm a few weeks prior, causing power poles and trees across the region to snap, the South Trail was littered with downed branches and trees:

Holt Arena 2024: Hot Rods ‘Attitude check!’

I went through U.S. Army basic training in 1982 (Fort ‘Lost-in-the-Woods’, Missouri), and at the end of a rough day the Drill Sergeants would yell “Attitude check!”, and we would always respond “Fuck it!”.  In many ways those were better days than today.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.  This is just a couple of the many Hot-Rods in the show.
