The New South Wales Rural Fire Service among them! It’s really hard for me not to look outside everytime I hear one of them fly over lol. (Photo taken from the NWS Pocatello’s FB page)

Went to a fantasy/renfaire and came back with a dagger. First time ever going to one and I absolutely loved it!

The Gap Fire by Inkom now has an evacuation order for the area of W Old Hwy 91 & Old Canyon Drive. It’s up to 200 acres. Sounds like the FS was using a helicopter to drop some water on it as well. Haven’t seen any official statements, but it all started along the train tracks. #IdahoFire

An update posted June 21 at 4:33 PM, includes a map highlighting an evacuation area near West Old Highway 91 and Old Canyon Drive.

Put a blanket down on the floor because the dog’s been having a rough go of things lately and hasn’t made it up on the bed. So of course the cat made home right away

Went on a little adventure yesterday #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature

Small rocky creek flowing through dense green vegetation, with sunlight reflecting off the water.

Good ol Buck & Crowley. Not sure what I’d do without my buddies 🥰

Wide open skies today #Idaho #IdahoEscape

Wide open landscape with sagebrush-covered plains, distant mountains on both sides, and a bright blue sky filled with scattered white clouds.

Shortly after I started work with the FS, we practiced with the router for making trail signs. After some struggle, I got the hang of it. Carved my name and you best believe I brought that home.

A forest service brown wooden sign engraved with the name ‘Sage’. It looks like the wooden signs commonly used for FS trails.

Making sure the essentials are safely tucked away for the move 🤣🫡

A truck filled with various Funko pops, keepsakes, a stuffed mothman, stuffed red wing black bird, and a baby yoda doll. Yes, I’m serious.

Same trail, same time of year. 2026 vs 2024. This summer is going to be rough #Idaho #SnowPlease

Went for a nice little walk this morning with a friend. Vented about life and looked for birds along the way. #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature

Bright sun in a clear blue sky above a winter landscape with dry grass, a leafless tree, and snow-dusted mountains in the background.

First birding trip of ‘26 was a beauty! Got about 16 species checked off for the year so far. That full wolf moon was the real highlight though. #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography

Pink and blue clouds glowing at sunrise above snow-dusted mountains and dark trees.

Finished the birding year out in the top 5 for the county! I stopped birding a lot over the summer due to health issues. I’m excited to see how many I get this year!! (Birding buddies are 1st & 2nd)

Ventured out to Lava Hot Springs this afternoon. No hot pools, but we did have some pizza and beer! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Photography #Nature

Merry Happy Holidays y’all! I hope everyone has a wonderful time filled with warmth, love, good food, and good vibes! 🎄🍻❤️

Not sure why, but I have a feeling I might have been 30 seconds late with breakfast?

Had to stop by and see one of my favorite houses around here. #Idaho #ChristmasLights #IdahoEscape

Birding buddy texted me today and I instantly knew the jerk saw a cool bird 🤣 (He finally saw a pacific wren! I found one before he did and it’s been a fun little teasing session since. Now I need a new bird that he hasn’t seen!)

Screenshot of a text.
The birding buddy: “Today is an auspicious day.”
My reply: “What did you find”

Taken back in winter ‘23. I miss the snow, hope we get a decent amount this year. #Idaho #IdahoEscape #PortneufRange #Wintertime #Photography

Nice little getaway to the mountains today. Didn’t hear a lot of birds, but it was super pretty out! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography #CTNF

Paved path winding through leaf-covered ground and bare trees in a on a sunny autumn day.

A long and winding paved trail, under mostly bare trees, with fallen fall leaves scattered about.

Nice blue sky with a few wispy clouds over grassy landscape with shrubs, sagebrush, and juniper trees on rolling hills.
