Response to reviews
Idaho is a truly wonderful state. I fell in love with the place and found it impossible not to write passionately about it--about both the good and bad as I saw it. I was determined not to succumb to spewing typical chamber of commerce pabulum at every turn. It's true, if I didn't like something, I pulled no punches. But it's also true that if I found something truly wonderful--as I did most of the time--I tried to be equally vigorous in conveying to the reader my love for the place. The reader from Spokane no doubt refers to my description of Rexburg, a town not high on my vacation list. I thought people planning a vacation would appreciate being made aware of what sorts of things you can and cannot do in Rexburg. I don’t consider this Mormon bashing. Southeast Idaho is full of Mormon towns, many of which I found delightful. Rexburg just wasn’t one of them. I don’t know what the Amtrak bashing is about. And as for bashing conservatives, well, it pains me to see the fate of Idaho’s resources in the hands of politicians motivated solely by money. This problem isn’t unique to Idaho--it’s a problem all over the West. I’m sorry my love of the earth over the dollar offends some people, but it offends me, for just one example, that there are no longer “red fish” (salmon) in Redfish Lake. That pretty well answers the Las Vegas reader, too, except for the laundromat and health-food store issue. It is Moon’s evolving policy, and I concur heartily, not to take up space in a US domestic guide just listing places that the reader can easily find with a quick peek in the local Yellow Pages. I’ll be updating for the next edition soon. Please give me your opinion; I don’t consider three reviews a sufficient sample size to determine a consensus. You don't like political commentary? I’ll consider holding my tongue. But you don’t really want a wonder-bread travel guide, do you? I’d have to have a lobotomy first. Thanks, and have a great time in the great state of Idaho.
