High Elevation Adventures Alpine lakes offer long-lasting family memories

By Sara Cassinelli, Idaho Fish & Game

When you look back on some of your fondest memories throughout your childhood, what activities and experiences stand out? Did they involve being outdoors or going to a special place? We are fortunate to live in a state that provides many outdoor experiences, creating those lifelong family memories and traditions. Alpine lakes provide families with endless opportunities in Idaho’s scenic backcountry from fishing to wildlife watching to off-the-grid relaxation. Alpine lake season runs from late June to late October, depending on weather conditions and snow melt. You can choose your own adventure based on how far you want to drive or hike, if you plan to do a short day hike or backpack in for a longer stay, or skip the hike and access a lake by vehicle.

Choosing the Right Lake The Idaho Fish and Game Fishing Planner is your best resource for planning a trip, especially if you plan to fish. It lists over 2,000 lakes that you can filter by name, county or region, and size. Once you select a lake, you can access information about location, species observed in surveys by fisheries biologists, and fish stocking history. When deciding on a lake, make sure it’s the right fit for your family. If you have a crew of novice hikers, start small and con Salmon swim 850 miles from the Pacific Ocean to their spawning grounds in Idaho.

August 31, at 8 PM on Idaho Public Television. Millgate, based in Idaho Falls, followed salmon migration on a solo trek from Oregon's coast through Washington's fields to Idaho's wilderness during the pandemic. She documented the helps and hurdles these diminishing fish face as they migrate home to turn their crib into their grave. See every mile of the remarkable journey and hear the wide range of perspectives involved in the salmon saga that's currently challenging the Pacific Northwest. From farmers and fishers to dam builders and dam breakers, this half-hour special swims against the current through four rivers across three states with dying but resilient wildlife.

West Nile Virus Found in Gooding and Twin Falls Counties

Recent testing from the Twin Falls County Pest Abatement District (TFCPAD) found mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus in both Gooding and Twin Falls counties. South Central Public Health District (SCPHD) joins TFCPAD in warning residents to act now to avoid catching the disease. "West Nile virus mostly causes minor symptoms, but it can be incredibly painful for some," said Tanis Maxwell, SCPHD Epidemiology Manager. "It's important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites to protect yourself and your family." • Residents can protect against mosquito bites by: • Using insect repellent with an EPA-registered active ingredient like DEET, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitos carrying the virus are most active. • Wearing loose-fitting clothes with long sleeves and pants. • Installing screens on all windows and doors. • Checking for, and draining, any standing water around your home every three to six days. This includes clogged rain gutters, pools, bird baths, old tires and other outside water features.

Typical symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. People over 50 years old, with serious medical conditions, are at greater risk for serious illness from the virus. More severe infections may involve the central nervous system. TFCPAD has increased surveillance in the areas where mosquitos with the virus were found and will be continuing treatments to help reduce mosquito populations. Ongoing surveillance and treatments across Twin Falls County will continue and TFCPAD encourages everyone to drain standing water, wear long sleeves and pants and use an approved EPA repellant to help fight the bite.

chased salmon migration from the ocean to Idaho. And, just like the fish, she fell apart along the way. "Broken camera, bruises, stitches and skin cancer. I wasn't expecting any of that. I was as worn out as the fish by the time we made it to mile 850," says Millgate, a journalist for 25 years. "I collected 25 hours of footage then had to cut that down to a 26-minute show. It was like trying to shove the stepsister's foot into Cinderella's slipper because every salmon shot is astounding." For more information visit oceantoidaho.com

Cup of Tee

There was a day when Cracker Jacks had a value second to none. Everyone wanted that candy coated popcorn and peanuts, and of course the toy that came in each box Cracker Jacks. The old commercials on TV (If you are old enough to remember) would show a young boy or two coming in the store and laying all their change on the counter for a box of Cracker Jacks. They would be short and the clerk would shake his head no. Then the kid would take out his prized sized pocket knife or some keepsake hoping he could get the Cracker Jacks. Not long ago, while at the store, I thought I’d check the value of today’s Cracker Jacks. Today’s packaging comes in a bag like potatoes chips or you have to buy three at a time. Wouldn’t you know it, I was thirty cents short of the total. The gal at the counter agreed I was short thirty cents. I dug into my pockets and produced a 1/2 inch washer (for what reason I had it, who knows.) I sat it on the counter and the clerk just looked at me with a strange look. Then I laid my pocket knife on the counter and told her, “One blade is broken, but is it enough to trade for the Cracker Jacks?” She shook her head and said her husband doesn’t hunt and doesn’t need a knife. She continued her assertsion that I was thirty cents short. I guess she didn’t remember the good old commercials and didn’t think I was humorous. I added a dollar bill to the

change and left with the Cracker Jacks. I couldn’t wait to see what I got for the prize. (Just a little paper thing???) In 1871 Frederick Ruscheim, a German immigrant, headed to Chicago after the Great Fire for work. Paying jobs weren’t as good as he was told. Fredrick opened a onepopper popcorn stand. Business expanded to bigger stands until finally popcorn wholesaling. Fredrick brought his brother Louis from Germany and sold him half of his business. For the Columbia Exhibition, the first World’s Fair, they produced a new product with molasses, peanuts and a new secret ingredient that didn’t make the popcorn stick together. The trademarked name was from a Victorian slang, for something very good. “That’s a cracker jack!” The Cracker Jack logo was a sailor boy and his dog Bingo, which were from two things; Fredricks grandson was always dressed as a sailor boy and a wartime salute to our soliders. At first the prizes in Cracker Jacks were coupons to save and trade. Later they became real toys (now they are paper games). Since 1912 Cracker Jacks has given out 23 billion toys - perhaps making it the biggest provider of toys in the World. This is my Carmel coated “Cup of Tee!”

Bonnie Geneva Andrews

Bonnie Geneva Andrews (Harms) earned her heavenly wings

on August 6, 2021 where she was surrounded by loved ones in her beautiful home in Wendell, Idaho. Bonnie was born March 13, 1934 in Buhl, Idaho. She attended school in Wendell, Idaho and graduated in 1953 where she met the love of her life, Stanley Andrews, and in 1958 they eloped in Elko, Nevada. Together they enjoyed traveling, camping, pinochle, attending auctions and yard sales, gardening and much, much more. Bonnie and Stanley built their life on a small farm in Wendell, Idaho and together they extended their family. She truly enjoyed being a farmer’s wife and a stay at home mom. Bonnie had a very kind heart. She never forgot a single holiday and always sent out birthday cards. Every gift and treat was very unique and one of a kind. She always enjoyed visits from her family and friends. Oftentimes, she would be working on a jigsaw puzzle, sewing projects or a multitude of different craft projects. Bonnie was a collector of many different items such as elephant figurines, butterfly magnets, photo albums, and newspaper clippings. While all these items meant the world to her, her family was the most valued thing in her life. She kept in contact with friends and family both near and far. Bonnie is survived by her loving husband - Stanley Andrews; siblings - Teresa Strolberg, Larry Harms, Boyd Harms (Pam) and Lionel Harms (Renea); children - Kevin Andrews (Donna), Michael Andrews (LaDawn); 7 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 9 great great grandchildren.

What to Pack Whether it’s a short day hike or a backpacking trip, it’s all about packing light. With younger kids, have them carry in a small pack with basic items like water, food, clothes, utensils, and lightweight gear. If you’re planning to camp, make sure you have all of the gear you need during your stay. Remember, what you pack in will be on your back the entire trip, so packing light is extremely important. Here is a list of lightweight items to add to your pack: Tent Sleeping bags and pads Dehydrated meals and light snacks Water bottles Poop shovel and toilet paper Water filter Sporks and cups Lightweight cooking stove GPS, maps downloaded to your phone First Aid kit

Mosquito spray and sunscreen Headlamps and flashlights Knife inReach device or communication device Campfire starters (check fire restrictions) Rain gear Clothes and swimsuit Sandals Coffee, hot chocolate, or drink singles Optional: Lightweight hammock and chairs

Fishing Tackle: What to bring Most alpine lakes have hungry fish just waiting to take your fly or lure, which makes for some unforgettable fishing opportunities. If the water is clear, kids can cast near the fish and watch it react (or not react, which is frustrating for any angler). Each alpine lake is different; some are surrounded by trees while others have a mix of trees and talus slopes or grassy openings between the trees. Whether you decide to bring spinning gear or fly rod, make sure you bring ones that break down into sections for easy packing. Spinning tackle: Most youngsters will do best with spinning tackle so they don’t have to worry about what’s behind them when they cast. Bring a small assortment of spoons and spinners, and maybe a few different types of baits (or catch grasshoppers if available). Fly fishing: Fly anglers can be limited to certain areas of the lake because of the lake’s surroundings, but sometimes a good roll cast will get you to some of those hard-to-get spots. Bring a small fly box with woolly buggers, small nymphs, or attractor flies. ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~ Legal Notices ~
