This time of year, I often find myself wondering why I choose to endure the rigors of winter in east Idaho. It's a pretty abrupt change from what I grew up with in Miami and significantly colder than the nine winters I spent in Colorado.
Most years, I've got a February trip to the tropics to look forward to, but not this year. The recession has taken a toll on my business and an early spring salt trip may not be feasible.
Sometimes - in the deep, dark chill of mid-winter - it helps to pull up pictures from the summer in east Idaho. It's a great reminder that our summers here make our winters well worth the effort.
Here are a few of my personal favorite reminders...

Heck yeah, the winters are worth it.
Great overview of your summer season. Recognize most all of those places pictured. I will miss my time on those waters, but have to admit, I don't miss the numbing winter! Hoping all is getting better with your Frostbite.
