Idaho, My Idaho

It’s been hard, keeping Idaho a secret from the world. There are so many things people would give their eye teeth to see. But not their eyes - or they wouldn’t be able to see anything. But with tourism on the rise, the secret’s out. Stories of the great potato tree forests and the ancient native railroads are beginning to be heard all across the land. If you can get past the barbed wire, here’s what you’ll see ~

Here’s one of the famous baked potato orchards, hidden deep in the high-altitude valleys. Be careful - they’re hot!

This truck is bringing out the last of the baked potato harvest. Great care must be taken when loading the produce onto the vehicle because of the intense heat which could cause the truck’s fuel to ignite.

This is Idaho today. The yellow areas are the warmest, where lichen has overgrown the countryside. The brown areas are where the highest concentration of potato trees are.

These ancient native Idahoan railroad artifacts were excavated by Barnabas Goog in 1837, and are the only known specimens of the ancient railroads connecting the ancient land masses of Idaho known to survive.

When the ancient natives used up all the trees for fuel, the old locomotives, called “poobah” in the ancient tongue, just fell over wherever they were.

Sir Barnabas “Old” Goog (1801-1922), intrepid explorer and archeologist unearthed virtually all of the ancient artifacts of the little-known so-called “Railroad” native culture. In his time, only a few of the old-growth potato orchards were known to exist. His contributions to science also include sociological studies into the ability of mankind to withstand the rigors of being married to seven wives, a custom he learned in the ancient capital of St. Ives and brought with him to Imagination, Idaho.
