Fly Sun Valley

I just got back from a weeklong vacation in Sun Valley, Idaho. Please don't ask about the wisdom of taking a vacation while you are in the process of moving. Anyway, you may know that Sun Valley was one of the most famous U.S. ski resorts, if not THE resort. Ernest Hemingway spent his final years here before his tragic end, and he still casts a

Nice shots! It looks very pretty from the air, though I don't think I'll be replicating that particular experience.

We haven't visited Idaho yet, alas. One day we shall.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many conventions in Idaho, which limits opportunities to visit. Well, maybe there are paragliding conferences.

If you go for any reason, go for the baked potatoes which are almost as big as your head, at where else but the Pioneer Saloon.

What else was remarkable around town is how people could just let their dogs run free. Won't see that in any metro area. I counted almost as many retrievers as people.

The mountain is about 4,000 feet above town, and we caught a little updraft as well. The empty stomach might have been a good idea. That might have been the morning that I put down some huevos rancheros. Oops. Oh no!

That certainly is a lot younger Ernest than the more mature facial bust I saw at his little memorial. I guess wherever he went, they built monuments after him. I think my parents saw one of the sites at Key West. We are regrettably prevented from seeing his Cuban hangouts. So unfair.

Somewhere was the "Hemingway shot himself in the head here" but I understand why that might not make an appropriate memorial.

Being appropriate all of the time sure is boring, though.
