Just an hour's drive from Boise, Scotch Pines Golf Course is an absolute gem in Payette. The staff…read moreare fantastic, friendly, professional, and clearly love what they do. Huge shout out to T.J. Gomez, the general manager, who keeps everything running smoothly and even reached out after their Chili Dippers Scramble to personally thank us for coming. The scramble itself was a blast, and the chili cook-off contest afterward was the perfect way to end the day. The course is beautiful and well maintained, with 18 scenic holes, a driving range, short game area, and pro shop. They also offer lessons, fun tournaments, and a great bar and restaurant with an outdoor patio, the perfect spot to relax after your round. Located near the Idaho-Oregon border, you even get the occasional small plane flying overhead from the nearby airport, which adds to the laid back, small town charm. If you're looking for a great round of golf with friendly people, a fun atmosphere, and beautiful views, Scotch Pines is worth the drive!

There's lots of animals to see, and the feed cups were pretty big compared to what we've gotten at other places before. I wish I had gotten their names, but one of the ladies running the register, and one of the men working in the goat enclosure; they were both so kind and welcoming! He shared a lot of info about the animals and was great.

Such a fun place you definitely get to explore and you can also feed some animals. Great for all…read moreages !

This campground was a nice stop for one night on our way to Idaho... The grounds/campsites are…read morenothing fancy, lots of dirt, gravel and stickers and our site was a "river front" site but not really. No shade at all, wish we were in one that had some. It was kind of near the river/launch ramp. Not much of a view. I think this location of the snake river just isn't all that nice. A lot of brown yuck and lots of flies and gnats. Had to be careful to keep our mouths closed! When I went to use the bathroom, the light wouldn't work! I tried a couple different switches (they're outside) nothing! So I had to leave the door wide open for the natural light to come in. I don't get it? Why not have a light switch inside the bathroom? Anyway definitely clean - very outdated. The camp host was nice, she saw us come in and kind of chased us down on her little golf cart and actually came around my husband's blind side and he almost ran her over! We were a little confused by the way she snuck up on us. I'm not sure if I would recommend coming here ?

Celebrating my 1000th Review with DZONE Skydiving!…read more I have always wanted to do skydiving but I couldn't find the ultimate push to do it. That all changed this year. I knew I was going to be 56 years old in August and while I love going out for dinner with the family, getting books or Lego, I yearned for something different. I was encouraged by friend who had done skydiving a couple of years and the motivation provided was just what I needed. Specifically, " DO IT" followed by "You won't regret it and pay the extra $$ to have it filmed :)" How could anyone not go through with it after that encouragement. I thought that there was as skydiving outfit in Caldwell but wasn't sure the name. I did a Yelp search that brought me to DZONE Skydiving. They are in Parma, Idaho and Bozeman, Montana I set the date, late in August to make sure I could fly my brother in from Phoenix and the rest of the family would all bear witness to my terminal velocity. I paid the deposit back in mid July and signed all the paperwork. I watched about ten different jumps from their YouTube channel and waited. Then waited and finally the day was here. We left Meridian and made the drive out to Parma I checked in, got fitted for a harness and then got weighed. I was not nervous or anxious, quite the opposite, I was at peace but those words of encouragement lived rent free in mind that day My jumper, David Lakowski, who I was going to be connected to filmed a short video before we got into the specialized airplane. There are no seats in that airplane. You sit on the floor. My back was up against the pilot's chair and we rumbled down the runway and took flight. We gained altitude slowly and the plane rocked back and forth. David explained to me that when he opens the door to put my foot on the step and tuck myself like a banana then we settle, I can extend my arms out. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt but nothing could prepare me for how frigid it was. It was less than 30 degrees and I felt extremely cold. I wish I wore more layers. I put my foot on the ledge and looked around. It really puts a lot into perspective. We are just gnats on this rock. We are so small compared to the world we live in And with that, we tumbled out of the airplane, freefalling about more than 125 miles per hour. Absolutely stunning and beautiful. We fell for only sixty seconds but it felt like ten minutes. David pulled the parachute and we zoomed back up. It is quite the jolt and yank. I got the opportunity to pull the yellow cords to control the flight of the parachute. Freaking awesome. We gently but with some twists and turns descended down. The air and wind was playing with our velocity and the jumper told me to lift my legs up as far as I could. We skidded down on our butts through about a hundred feet of grass before stopping. Wow. What a freaking thrill ride. I highly recommend DZONE for your an once-in-a-lifetime thrill or you really love skydiving on a regular basis, they are your outfitters. Very professional and safe, obviously, I trusted my life to them, and I have the proof of life to prove it.

Having two ovens at our…read moredisposal was an unexpected delight to be able to cook the turkey undisturbed while making the sides and desserts. The bright hall is bathed in natural light and also has four lovely chandeliers. There was plenty of room to seat everyone and set things up buffet style. Columns of quaint dining dishes allowed us to take advantage of using as many we needed for a multi-course meal sustainably. Three deep sinks made prep and cleanup a breeze. Simply appointed cozy rooms were lovely to retire to at the end of the day. (I presume these were Sunday School rooms once-upon a time). We didn't use the church part actively, but it served those who needed a quiet, serene place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of a family gathering. I noticed that they have special prices through the end of the year and will consider them again for hosting our holiday meals or special events.
