			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Idaho. You’ve got potatoes.</p>
<p>And crazy laws.</p>
<p>You can’t fish from a camel’s back. Can’t give someone a box of candy over 50 pounds.</p>
<p>Thank your lucky stars you also have McCall.</p>
<p>So you can do stuff <a href="http://www.discovermccall.com/images/news/2008/crazy-daze2.jpg">like this</a> when your camel’s out of commission.</p>
<p>And you can get your fun on all year long.</p>
<p>Winter Carnival and Brundage Ski Resort might convince you <a href="http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/c67.0.403.403/p403x403/76308_10151373779970688_713022949_n.jpg">winter’s the most fun</a>.</p>
<p>Actually, it’s  <a href="http://discovermccall.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/watertubing1.jpg">summer</a>.  No wait, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152137023150230&amp;set=pb.162087500229.-2207520000.1360086225&amp;type=3&amp;theater#">fall</a>.</p>
<p>Man, this is hard.</p>
<p>Either way, it’s all good. If you can’t find some fun in McCall, you’re doing it wrong.</p>
<p>So get out there and have confidence that, after you’ve played fun hog for the day, there are <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g35526-McCall_Idaho.html">plenty of noms</a> to be had along with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/McCall-Brewing-Company/113649865336672">some tasty beverages to wash it down</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Road trips are filled with the obscure.</p>
<p>Tiny towns with names like Loogootee, Bummerville, and Idaho Beer Bottle Crossing.</p>
<p>Yeah, that last one’s in Georgia.</p>
<p>But you know what? You should be proud when you’re in the fruitcake capital of the world (also in Georgia. Damn!).</p>
<p>And if there’s climbing?</p>
<p>Or boating?</p>
<p>Or biking?</p>
<p>Or whatever outside-ish activity that makes that place a backwater beacon for those who wander but are not lost?</p>
<p>Then you should get to know that place.</p>
<p>Hence this new series.</p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>
