An Outdoor Idaho Life

 

This website will eventually go away. I built it to help keep things organized in my head. The current title is An Outdoor Idaho Life. Or My Outdoor Idaho Life. Actually, there are several versions floating around, which uses some version of this.

These chapters are getting close to concrette, and I'm now on to adding photos, of which I have many. I have appreciated all the assistance I've received from friends. I wish I could use them all. Seriously. I'll use as many as I can, for something that's more of a 'memoir.'

The order of chapters you see here may not hold. If you have some thoughts on the order, please let me know.  

My deadline for getting everything to Caxton Printers, including captions, etc, is the end of November.

For the finished book, the plan is to have color photos for the book. Photos would mostly be from other people: Tim Tower, Jim Hadley, Dan King, Rick Gerrard, Peter Morrill, Shari Hart, Linda Lanty, Shari Hart, Shane Davila, Patty Pickett, and others. I am receiving invaluable assistance from many friends, not only with photos and punctuation but with content as well. I realize how lucky I am. Writing is usually a much lonelier process.

The thing has 24 chapters. You should be able to reach them all on this website. You can ignore the current photos at the head of each chapter; they are merely placeholders I found quickly. 

The goal is to have books in-hand for Idaho Public Television's March pledge drive. The fine folks at the station will produce an hour-long Outdoor Idaho program (I'll help) and will offer the book as one of their pledge gifts.

Caxton Printers has agreed to publish the book. Thanks so much to president Scott Gipson. Caxton's has a solid reputation for publishing Idaho books, so I am honored and grateful. I definitely have my work cut out for me during the month of November...maybe it will rain all through the month!

That would be nice.
