I'm Nikki West and was one of Jon's recons on the episode. I wanted to share some behind the scenes information, what being on the show was like and parts of the experience you didn't see.

I am more than ready for warm sunny summer to head on back. I miss camping and am eager to experience some new places in Idaho for my summer adventures. Even though camping season seems far away, if you want some prime spots for many places, it is time to start making reservations now!

Idaho has many of these blast from the past gems around. If you are feeling nostalgic or need a few hours to mentally go back in time a half century or so check out these local classic diner spots.

Who's ready for a memorable Idaho adventure? There is over 10,600 acres of soft hilly white quartz sand just waiting to show you a good time.

Most people don't even know that Idaho has a glacier, but we do. If you want to see the massive icy mass you need to head on over to Mount Borah. It makes sense that this would be the place for a glacier since it is Idaho's tallest mountain.

Idaho is loaded with incredible eateries. With farming and agriculture thriving in the gem state it also means fresher local eating options in many restaurants. With so many incredible options how do you know where to go? We've selected some incredible must try eateries in Meridian all with very different menus and types of food to explore.

The right Bloody Mary can be an entire meal if done right and I have been on the hunt for the best Bloody Mary in the Treasure Valley. I know a lot of people use it for a hangover cure, I just like how they taste. Here are a few faves that I have found in my search.

Sometimes the bright pinks, oranges and reds are enough to take your breath away. WHY are the sunsets so extra beautiful here and WHERE are the best places to see them in the Treasure Valley.

Have you ever wanted to be famous? Even just to your friends and community? Well now's a good chance at some self gratitude and pride. The city of Boise is currently in construction for a new park in Downtown and they need a name.

A lot of cities, and states have been reporting an increase in break ups and divorce fillings but not here in Idaho. Couples seem to be working through and overcoming marital complications and disagreements and staying together.
