More Idaho Talk

I know what you're thinking at this very moment: "Gosh more Idaho talk?" The answer is yes, more Idaho talk, and for a good reason. I truly feel people don't grasp the beauty of this place unless the visit it for themselves. When first mentioned, people immediately think "potatoes" when they hear the word "Idaho." That couldn't be more far from the truth however, and forgive my harshness, but is just classic east-coast ignorance. If I had a dime for every spoiled kid from NOVA who gave me crap about loving Idaho at this school... We'll let's just say I'd at least have a dollar. Anyways the beauty of Idaho is that because of these preconceived ideals, it is a much less targeted area for tourism. The mountains are humongous, the rivers and lakes are pure, the air is as clean as can be, and the views are almost unimaginable. I truly feel God's presence is strong within this land for two reasons. The first is its natural beauty, which relates back to the "how creation was intended to be viewed" argument I have made in previous posts. The second may come as a surprise to some, but is because of the lack of other people around do I feel a deeper sense of wonder when traveling there. I believe God speaks to people the most in moments of true beauty and solitude. In other words when mankind is in its natural state of creation does our creator talk to us. To sum things up, it was whenever I visited Idaho did I feel my strongest detachment from the modern world around me, and in turn, a stronger connection with a force known as my creator.
