Comments:

The Snake River basin of Southern Idaho is one of the finest recreation
areas in the country. It is very ultralight friendly with vast amounts
of uncongested farm land and desert areas for aeronautical recreation.
The quality of life is good here in the Boise area. The state of Idaho
had more aircraft production than any other state, and a huge portion
of the economy relies on aviation for wilderness and back country trips.

Life's good!
