day trip paddle rafting on the Payette. You'll be pretty much at ground zero for some of the best rafting in the nation...

I knew you would chime in Irulan...I was waiting for you!!! hehe

Rafting was high on my list of things to do...sooo....any recommendations on a rafting outfit that will surely not disappoint?

Then where do we re-fuel our bellies gals??? Bison burgers???

I think Cascade Outfitters has a very good reputation.

Yup, Cascade rafters is a good choice, BUT, getting there might be a challenge. There IS tubing on the Boise river, which is much tamer, but more easily accessible, AND a fairly lazy activity!

They're not running a Shakespeare play that night, but the Idaho Shakespeare festival is a GREAT way to spend an evening -- www.idahoshakespeare.org.

Also, a stroll along the Greenbelt is a nice way to start the day -- look out for the bikes! (not that it's fun to ride on, you'll see LOTS of wicked tree roots!)

the 25th is a Saturday, and there's a neat "farmer's market" downtown in the morning -- a wide assortment of foods, art/crafts, performances -- it's pretty cool!

oh oops, missed the "on bike or foot " part.

oooh -- if you need a cab to get anywhere, call "American Luxury Taxi" -- family owned and operated, usually just the airport, and they're lovely people! (you can set up a will call at the airport -- nothing better than a CLEAN cab!)
