Looked like Team Cougar at the beginning. Nice to see everyone. Not bad for a fair ground spot. 👍🏼 Cannot imagine what it felt like for the Japanese Americans having to leave their homes and be put into places like Minidoka. We know how long they stayed there, but one has to remember, they did not know how long they were going to be there for. I thought you were going to do some white water kayaking from up river. 😉 Great price for a kayak rental. We might have to do that when we go back. Thanks for sharing. Ram 👍🏼👍🏽

Generally unbiased presentation of internment camp info, though the sad music was leading. I appreciated that. People 70 years on generally like to think they wouldn't do such a thing despite facing a national existential threat from an ethnic nation.
@GrandAdventure3 жыл бұрын
We appreciate that, Robert. We take great pains to not tackle anything that can be interpreted as political one way or the other, as we see no point in pissing off half of our audience for no good reason. There are plenty of outlets for those things, such that GA doesn't need to be one of them. We're an RV channel focused on travel and RV life...period. However, it was admittedly tough for us to remain completely neutral on the internment camp because we hope that our nation wouldn't again lock up its own citizens solely due to their ethnic background. We found the presentation at Minidoka to be completely moving. That said, we understand the mentality of the time, when our leaders couldn't be sure who was a spy for the Japanese and who was not. At the time our administration thought that what they were doing was necessary following the attack on Pearl Harbor. We'd like to believe that in today's era we're a bit better and more precise at identifying threats. As for the soundtrack we try to match the mood with what we're filming, and as you can probably imagine some happy little ditty wouldn't fit the situation at all, no matter what some's perspective is on the subject. Thanks so much for your feedback!

@@GrandAdventure This problem exists in an even worse fashion today than it did during WWII, due to our far more diverse population, where we now have so many split national loyalties even among naturalized U.S. citizens and their offspring (primarily along ethnic or religious lines)--in a very public and very vocal fashion--that we will likely face this same conundrum in the future should we again face an existential national threat. In any case, thanks again for presenting in an even-handed fashion.

Thanks as always Gary! Some of those small, skinny falls were nearly as stunning as the main event, in their own sort of way. Ironically, a week before our paddle there was much more water flowing over the falls, which you can see in our shots from the overlook. By the time we kayaked to the falls the following week, there was much less water flowing. Not to be a downer but I do know that sadly, the hydroelectric company dropped the flow over the weekend in between to locate a teenager who had regrettably drowned swimming at Pillar Falls. For obvious reasons that fact never made it into the video.

@GrandAdventure3 жыл бұрын
Bryan, our advice is keep your plans because things vary dramatically day to day. Since this video was filmed we moved on to McCall (ID), Joseph (OR) and we're now along the Snake River northwest of Boise. You'll see these episodes in coming weeks. We headed that way because, at the time, the smoke was well south of that region -- most of it is still coming from the fires in Northern California. McCall started off clear but smoke moved in shortly after we arrived, and varied day to day. Our week in Joseph the smoke was so intense, we could barely see a mile! I think that our disappointment over the visibility in the gorgeous Wallowa Mountains will show through in that episode, and we're dying to get back someday when it's smoke-free. Now that we're northwest of Boise, things are clearing up rapidly thanks to the change of weather moving in, and visibility is forecast to be quite good midweek. In short, it all depends on which way the upper and mid-level steering currents are blowing each day.

Sorry if I asked this before, what PSI are you running your truck tires?
@GrandAdventure3 жыл бұрын
No special pressure, we're just running them at the recommended PSI on the door jamb.

@@kittyshacktracks8808 nope, not at this time. We have Nitto Grappler 2s that we bought last fall. At the time I thought that I was getting 10-ply, although unbeknownst to me at the time they make two versions of the Grappler 2. The ones I saw on the tire dealer's website were Load Range E, but I didn't realize that they weren't the E versions until after they were installed.

Kinda irritating when people mispronounce the name of the IB Perrine bridge. It's not the Preen bridge.
@GrandAdventure3 жыл бұрын
Yup, we mentioned the name twice in this video -- got it right once, screwed the pooch the other time. It's the same for us, say, when we hear folks mispronounce Hurricane, Utah. Proper names in unfamiliar areas are tough, and we'll frequently get them wrong.

I am sorry to have to tell you, but you are pronouncing Shoshone and Perrine incorrectly. I was raised in TF and practiced law there for 50 years. Shoshone is pronounced as it rhymes with “no bone” not “no pony”, and Perrine is pronounced as it rhymes with “divine” not “obscene”. In my entire life in TF I never heard any local say them your way.
