We're doing OK here in Idaho right now with COVID cases. We watch in horror as the rest of the country spikes and wonder how long before it does the same here.
But just in case you were planning on vacationing or floating on our rivers and lakes and exploring our lands this summer, I do want to warn you that red ants and bedbugs have infested hotels/motels and all of the resorts, vacation rentals and campgrounds across the area due to a wetter than usual spring. Cougars have eaten domesticated animals and some smaller people. The poison oak has overtaken all other vegetation. We have had bear sightings at every park and in town.
Porcupines are "stabbing" small children should they dare to enter the forest. Skunks have made their way over and multiplied at unprecedented rates and wander the local roads in packs. Murder hornets!?! We’ve got CRAPLOADS of murder hornets. And I’m pretty sure all private tiger owners have released them into the deserts and mountains of our territory. Head lice now have wings and fly... right beside giant bats and enormous locusts!!!
So stay where you are where it's safe! 😁
