Dear Reader, When students come to school in Rexburg they hardly ever leave campus to enjoy, explore and experience all that Southeastern Idaho has to offer. These same students live here for four years, and leave not having experienced anything outside of the boundaries of Brigham Young University–Idaho. BYU–I students, me included, are always looking for something interesting to do to escape the pressures and stress of school, and there is so much here in Idaho for students to enjoy. That is what this issue of Hidden Adventures is all about: helping students discover all that there is to do in and around Rexburg this summer and early fall to help them enjoy going to school here in the desert. In this issue you will escape to the Teton Valley Balloon Festival, trek the beautiful mountain trails to the east of Rexburg or hike through the deserts to the west. You will catch a glimpse into the thriving Rexburg music scene with an interview with local band Midas Whale, famous for appearing on reality television show The Voice. Not to mention the rodeo, or the craziness that is Spud Day. Come along and learn (isn’t that what going to school is all about anyway?) We will show you all about the fun things to do, on a budget, in Southeastern Idaho.

Sincerely

Sarah Bitsch,Editor in Chief

4 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR AND MEET OUR EDITORS

Every year, the Teton Valley takes part in a

tradition that began with a sheep, a duck, and a rooster. Yes, you read that right. The Teton Valley

Balloon Rally is a continuation of an invention that first flew a sheep, a duck, and a rooster over the French countryside. Two

paper manufacturers named the Montgolfier brothers created the first hot air balloons. In 1783 in France, the brothers noticed that flowing hot

air would make paper or cloth bags rise. They used paper and silk to create something beautiful that gave people access to the skies they have never

before had. Later that same year, the first of many manned flights began. The fire was hand pumped and the flight, manned by francois Pilatre de Rozier and Francois Laurent Marquis of d’Arlanders, lasted only 25 minutes, travelled 5 1/2 miles in distance, and rose 500 feet in height. Though this distance may seem short, what it led to has been astounding. Ballooning has become an art than many have built a passion for. Starting in the summer of 1981, every Fourth of July weekend the Teton Valley Balloon Rally brings out up to forty balloons that take to the

skies along the Teton Mountains for the three days of the rally.The mission of this rally is “to respect a grand local tradition and contribute to local and

regional communities while inspiring awe and wonder in a new generation.” The area has been able to do this successfully

while bringing close to a thousand people out before dawn to enjoy the unique spectacle of all the

balloons rising in the sky. The area is very proud of their tradition and

the Mayor of Driggs, Hyrum Johnson, says, “We have

been able to be the proud sponsors of the

Teton Valley Balloon RallyUpliftingly fun

balloon festival for over the last 30 years. It is really cool to watch people as they come from all over the country to visit our little valley, and take part in this festival. The kids are fascinated by it, and so are their parents. There really is just something special about hot balloons floating in the sky.” The mayor is right. There is some-thing special about the hot air balloons. They are a dynamic art form. They allow us to view the countryside differently than we had before. While they are not an ideal form of travel-ling quickly from one place to another, they offer a unique perspective of the world that we would

not otherwise have if it weren’t for the Montgol-fier brothers in 1783. The beauty of the balloons in the sky is indescribable. One must see it to believe it. What the balloons have done for the area of the Teton Valley is also remarkable. It brings not only the locals together but also tourists from around the country. Balloonists across the world covet the invitation to show off their balloons at the rally. The manager of the local Broulims grocery store in Driggs, Brad Bischoff, says, “We are proud to sponsor balloons every year. The balloon festival has become an annual tradition

that brings the valley and families together, as we watch the balloons fly by the Tetons. It is truly a beautiful sight.” The locals love the tradition and have definitely made it their own. Ron Hansen, a Teton Valley resident said that, “Having the festival every year is a lot of fun. I have had them land in my fields a couple of times, and sometimes they can be very gracious. I received offers for free balloon rides, some expensive wine, and other gifts. The first year we had the fes-tival, the animals all across the valley went crazy, running through fences and injuring themselves. The vet didn’t sleep for days.” Despite its startling beginning with the animals, it has certainly flourished and offers many activities for any who attend the magnificent event. Riding in the balloons is the most expen-sive part of the rally. It ranges from $275-$500

depending on the number of people and how early you book your ride. However, you don’t need to ride a hot air balloon to witness the beauty they offer. Parking for the day is only $5 but you can also walk or bike in for free.

The morning of July 3rd, the flights begin at 6:00am and go until 8:30am and fly at that same time through the morning of July 6th. The eve-ning of July 3rd is the 3rd annual Drigg’s Glow. In downtown Driggs, from 5:30-8:30pm, the Drigg’s Glow will consist of

an art walk, restaurant specials, kid’s activities, performances by local talent, and live music. The following day will feature a fourth of July parade in Victor at 10:30am and in the evening you can participate in the 2nd annual Candlestick Glow and Block party beginning at 4:30pm in Victor. This night will feature restau-rant specials, a poker run, sidewalk chalk art

competition, a meet-&-greet with balloon pilots, a dj spin-ning on Main Street, and a Bal-loon Burner Pyrotechnics Show at dusk. The last day of the balloon rally is a sponsor and pilot appreciation dinner. Tickets for that event can be purchased for $20. As students at BYU-Idaho, we have the opportunity to travel the short distance to witness one of the most beautiful sights Idaho has to offer for barely even a dent in our wallets.

I shut my laptop and blinked into the dim lighting of my basement apartment. I was sick of homework. I turned to my husband who was frowning over his Calculus textbook. “It’s Saturday, we need to play.” “Okay,” he said shutting his book. “But what do you want to do? We’re kind of broke right now.” It was a familiar problem. Living on a single minimum wage paycheck didn’t give us a lot of wiggle room in our budget, and we were often at a loss trying to find something exciting to do for free. This time, I had an idea. I remembered that a friend of mine who loved the outdoors had sent me an email of all of her favorite hikes around Rexburg. I opened it up and scrolled until I decided on Aldous Lake, it was about an hour and fifteen minutes away from town. The thought of escaping the college scene for an afternoon was appealing; we called our friends who have an eight month old son to come along so that we could split the gas. We packed sandwiches, fruit, and a

couple of granola bars and hit the road. Aldous Lake is located near Kilgore, Idaho. From Rexburg, you travel north

on 2nd East towards St. Anthony and continue on past the sand dunes until the road becomes Red Road; bend right at the intersection.

Follow Red Road until it becomes A-2 Clark Country Road, and then keep right and the road will become A2 Clark County Road. After you pass the town of Kilgore, turn left on Ching Creek Road. After about a quarter mile turn onto East Camas Road and follow it until it becomes Cottonwood Creek Road. From there you will see signs pointing towards the Aldous Lake Trailhead, where there is a map and a porter-potty. The trail was 1.3 miles, extremely moderate, and well taken care of, with tall, mossy trees, beautiful wildflowers, and even a flowing stream. There are also places to stop and pick huckleberries, but we were just a little early for that as they are in season in July and August. Even though it was a warm day in Rexburg, the mountain air was

cool and brisk, so I’d recommend a light jacket. The hike was very family friendly and even had picnic tables available to stop and snack. We walked at a leisurely pace and made it to the lake in about 30 minutes. My group was the only one on the lake, so we enjoyed the exclusive, fantastic view. On the west side of the lake there is a bank with a picnic table. We stopped there to eat lunch and watched a bald eagle catch a fish! It was an overcast day and even drizzled a little, so we didn’t get in the water, but on a warmer day it looked like it would be the perfect place for a swim. After an hour of fun near the lake, we made our way back to the car. Everyone in the group agreed that Aldous Lake was a great place to get away from the stresses of student life and enjoy God’s creations. If you’re looking for a thrifty way to have fun, consider Aldous Lake.

When people think of taking exotic vacations, Idaho would probably be the last place they would choose to go. Hawaii would be closer to the top in order to see the volcanoes, lava fields, and views that will take your breath away. Little did they know that they can get the same thing in Idaho. Idaho is a state nestled in the Rocky Mountains, so it is bound to have beautiful scenes of mountains and lakes; especially during sunrises and sunsets. Another majestic sight comes from the lava fields brought about by volcanoes, over thousands of years ago. Such a place is called Hell’s Half Acre. According to the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, these facts make Hell’s Half Acre unique.

Hawaiian Landscape in Idaho The Lava Trails traverse the desert of the Snake River Plain through contorted landscapes created from multiple lava flows. These Hawaiian-type lava flows are associated with the stretching of the earth’s crust. Hell’s Half Acre lava flow erupted

about 4,100 years ago and is 222 square miles or 162,000 acres. The lava flowed at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, had the consistency of molasses, and traveled at speeds up to 30 mph.

Geology Lava rock is extremely sharp, glassy and fragmented, with open cracks, lava tubes and caves. A’a (ah-ah) and pahoehoe (pa-hoy-hoy) lava flows are the most prevalent here. Areas of soil and vegetation not covered by lava are called kipuka, a Hawaiian word meaning “window in the lava.”

Botany In the spring and early summer, numerous wildflowers, such as Evening Primrose, Indian Paintbrush, wild onions, penstemon, geraniums, and Prickly Pear Cactus, color the landscape. Bright, green ferns grow in deep cracks. Plants ranging in size from tiny mosses and lichens to juniper trees hundreds of years old grow here. Other native species include sagebrush, rabbitbrush, bitterbrush, blue bunch wheatgrass, and needle-and thread grass.

Wildlife Wildlife roaming the lava flows in-clude mule deer, antelope, rabbits, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, and rattlesnakes. Soaring above the flows are red-tailed hawks, prai-rie falcons, and golden eagles.

Open Year Round The Lava Trail system is open to non-motorized recreation activities only. Access is free and available year round. It is located about 20 miles southwest of Idaho Falls and 5 miles northeast of Blackfoot.

The Lower PalisadesArticle and photos by Nichole Wilde

If you are looking for a longer, slightly more difficult hike that can still be done by small children, Lower Palisades Lake is for you. Taking a little over an hour to reach, this trail is located at the end of a smaller campground called Palisades Creek. There are picnic areas available as well as a couple of bathrooms before the trail head. This hike is 10 miles round trip. However, don’t let that distance scare you. It does feature five switchbacks, but the rest is a relatively moderate incline.

The trail follows Palisades Creek the majority of the time with five bridge crossings. In the early spring, the creek overflows a little in some areas which can cause the trail to become muddy so make sure to wear good hiking shoes. It is wonderful to hike next to because there is the constant sound of rushing water. Once you reach the Lower Lake, there is a small

camping area for those who decide to backpack. There is also a large grassy area overlooking the lake that is perfect for eating lunch and resting. The hike takes around four hours to complete altogether depending on your walking speed. That time also includes stopping and eating at the picnic area. It is a very well-traveled trail and you are sure to encounter a variety of other hikers from young families with multiple children, to more serious hikers who continue on past the Lower Lake another five miles to the Upper Lake. Because of its popularity, it is well kept with no major obstacles blocking the trail. It is also cleaned regularly, so there is nearly no litter. The area is extremely green with different types of trees, flowers, and other nature. There are many open places under trees to take a break while hiking. Be sure to bring water and snacks with you to make sure to keep your strength up. Also with this hike being Idaho, be prepared for all sorts of weather. While hiking this, we experienced hail and pouring rain as well as sunshine. On a “normal” day, it may seem hot in the open areas but there is a lot of covered trail where it can get pretty chilly. If you come to the trail prepared and ready for a good hike, Lower Palisades is sure not to disappoint!

Cress Creek Nature Trail is a beautiful and scenic trail perfect for friends, couples, and families with young children. This nature trail was originally named after the watercress plant, which grows in the stream featured halfway up the trail. These watercress plants are the nearby Moose’s favorites. Plants like the watercress, and the easy access to water, make this trail the perfect area for spotting the numerous Elk, Deer, and Moose that live nearby. This easy 1 ¼ mile trail is perfect for those looking for an at-your-own-pace adventure. The incline of the trail fluctuates between easy and medium, providing hikers with a balance of exercise and fun, boasting numerous options for its visitors. Hikers can choose whether to continue only for the ½ mile that is wheelchair accessible and paved, or to continue on the gravel path for the full 1¼ mile. Additionally, Cress Creek Nature Trail is the perfect place for biking and jogging. This trail is also perfect for dogs of all sizes. This hike is the perfect way to celebrate the onset of spring, but hikers should be aware that some snow still remains on the trail clear into May. The trail becomes accessible in early spring, but be prepared with boots and coats. This trail provides

entertainment and enjoyment in numerous ways for the nature lover. When hikers reach the end of the incline segment of the trail they can appreciate the amazing view of the South Fork of the Snake River. The path then loops around to meet back in the center. However, the Cress Creek Nature Trail provides not only sunshine and beauty, but history also. All along the hike are interpretive signs that share important information about the area, the foliage, and the animals that live there; helping visitors learn a little bit more about the beautiful Snake River area. The Nature Trail can be completed in 20 minutes, but with the informational signs, amazing views, and vast array of picnic ta-bles, it ensures that visitors will want to stay for an hour or more. The provided bathroom facilities and free doggy bags available at the beginning of the trail allow for an un-interrupted hike, so visitors can spend all their time focusing on their beautiful sur-roundings. Additionally, there is plenty of parking close by for a quick run to the car to grab a prepared picnic. All of these amenities ensure that all visitors can spend their time worry free.

When you tell people you’re going to school in Idaho, they usually bring up potatoes. It’s the crop of Idaho, and one town holds an entire festival to celebrate it. Spud Day takes place in Shelley, Ida-ho (about 10 miles south of Idaho Falls). It’s a completely free festival centered around, you guessed it, the spud. This year, the 86th annual Spud Day will be September 17-20. The festival has been held annually since 1927, and it’s a beloved tradition. “It is a ton of fun and we all look forward to it,” said Shadrack Gore, a BYU—I stu-dent who grew up in Shelley. “The events are many,” said Gore, “the whole town and

most of the surrounding areas turn up to celebrate.” The day begins with a parade, full of floats from the local businesses and social groups. Everyone gets there early to get a good spot. Miss Russet, who has won the title from the local high school, is driven through the parade on a spud truck while dozens of free things are handed to kids or fall from the sky in planes that circle the crowds. After the parade, the celebration moves to Don Lloyd Park. Gore said, “This park is full of different vendors wanting to sell their treats like barbecue, strudels, and even in past years ice-cream that looks

exactly like baked potatoes.” What would a spud party be without potatoes? According to Shelley’s official website, 5,000 free baked

potatoes were given to attendees last year alone.

“All the ac-tivities center on the biggest event,” Gore said. “The Spud Tug.” The what?

It’s a tug-of-war contest that takes place over a vat of mashed pota-

toes. Teams have to register in advance, and must have certain weight qualifications. “I have tugged once” said Gore. “And we lost miserably, and I fell head first into the pit of potatoes.” The teams progress in a sin-

gle-elimination tournament until there is a winner.But that’s not all! Sack races, helicopter rides, a 5K, free food. Spud Day has events for everyone. There’s no admission price either, so bring a date and enjoy the Idaho adventure. Gore said, “BYU-I students should definitely go because it is a way for them to experience Idaho culture, which can be ridiculous but fun.” Can a festival about potatoes really be that big a deal though?

On this, Gore was emphatic: “IT’S A HUGE DEAL.”

Some people look forward for Christ-mas all year, but some look forward to Au-gust 30, The Idaho State Fair. Having gone every possible year, I feel I have a pretty good system down. This system starts by driving about 50 minutes to Blackfoot from Rexburg. There is always free parking if you look. You do not have to spend 5 dollars to park close. If you enter at the East gate on the US Highway 91 road, drive a block or two across the railroad tracks and you can find free parking. The entrance fee is $6 for 12 and up (Active Service Members with a current Military ID get into the Fair free!) and $2 for 6-11 year olds. After entering, you will see the

live-stock pavilion which has no additional fees. There you will see cows bigger than big, birds with all kinds of feathers, giant horses taller than trucks, and other kinds of animals that will widen my eyes but maybe make you want to cover your nose. After seeing all the animals your heart will desire comes the best part of the fair: the food! Food of any kind and taste are available for your choosing. It was always a dilemma to either pick a personal favorite or try some-thing new. From the rice bowls, to the turkey legs, to the Navajo tacos and the batter fried bacon, there is always something yummy for lunch. After stuffing yourself full, it’s time

to walk it off through all the merchandising booths and see if there are any good deals. Hundreds of companies come to the fair, hoping to find new customers and give you free samples or items at a discounted price. If you do not want to buy anything, there are always the buildings with the hob-bies and crafts, photography, and antiques booth to look through. People from all over enter their works of arts to enter first place. It is interesting to see if the judges’ picks match your own. If you are tired of walking around at this point, there are the two free

stages to sit down at and enjoy the free entertain-ment provided. A personal favor-ite is the hypnotist. If you are more of an observer than a volunteer, you will not regret the hour

of laughs and amazement as you watch peo-ple behave in ways they would not normally

behave. If you have little kids that are less inclined to sit still and enjoy the show, there are the petting zoo and other kid’s exhibits to

let them create and get the wiggles out. If by now you think you have seen all you can see, pick yourself up an ice-cream cone, smoothie, or tiger’s ear and head home. Or go and ride one of the carnival rides. The fun never ends at the fair. Maps and events list are available at the entrance.

In 2014, the Eagle Rock Art Guild will hold its 60th Annual Sidewalk Art Festival in Idaho Falls. The event is free to the public and features everything from ceramics to wood, painting, jewelry making, and sculp-ture. All works are created by local artists for the promotion of the fine arts in Idaho Falls. The Eagle Rock Art Guild was started by four Idaho Falls artists, Helen Aupperle, Su-zanne Fonnesbeck, Fred Ochi, and Ina Oyler, who wanted to promote the arts. As a volunteer organization, they began holding weekly meetings. These meetings have grown over the years, and is now an organization that

provides free art classes to chil-dren, schol-arships to high school seniors. They have even raised funds to build the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho. The Art Guild offers classes for both children and Senior citizens interested in improving their artistic skills. On their website, the Eagle Rock Art Guild’s mission is “to promote visual fine arts in the Idaho Falls region through educa-tion, community service, and cultural programming for all ages.”

The Sidewalk Art Festival is one of the largest events held by the Eagle Rock Art Guild. Anually, it draws about 15,000 people. The two day event is located in Idaho Falls’ Tautphaus park along the Snake River. Families will find activities suitable for all ages. In addi-tion to the displayed art, the park features an amusement park, playground equipment, sports facilities, and areas for large picnics.

Are you a cowboy or cowgirl looking for an all-out good time at a rodeo? Or are

you a city slicker who likes to occasional-ly let out your inner country with friends and family? Then the Teton Valley Rodeo is the place for you! The rodeo takes place in Driggs, Idaho at the Driggs Fairgrounds from 8PM-10PM every Friday night from June 20th through August 15th. There are plenty of different activities such as saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, slack roping, goat tying, and everyone’s favorite, bull riding. Admission for adults is $8. For kids

ages 6 to 12 the admission is $5, and any child under 5 gets free admission. This is a great activity for families with young chil-dren and college students going out on a date. Not only will you enjoy the festivities of the rodeo, but you’ll also get to experience the beautiful sights that Teton Valley has to offer.

Believe it or not, the Teton Valley Rodeo is relatively new. In 2010 Jackson Wyoming’s rodeo decided to expand their rodeo to the valley, but it only lasted through its first

season. However Driggs was not to be deterred. They wanted to keep the western tradition alive in their town. Although they approached the county for funds and were rejected, they still fought to get the funds and by summer of 2011 they were back in busi-ness. It may be a small rodeo right now, but each year the rodeo gets bigger and bigger. In 2013 they had almost 1,000 people in atten-dance on their biggest nights. This year they hope to have more. Even though it is still a relatively small rodeo, it offers an authenticity that some of the bigger rodeos do not. As the events get bigger, they hope that the rodeo will become a tradition in their town, adding to the many

other wonderful things Driggs has to offer its residents and tourists. But for the mean-time while you enjoy the festivities of the rodeo, take a moment to picture what life may have been like in the old west when the rodeo tradition was still a western pleasure and enjoy something different.

10 Summer Nature Activities for ToddlersFrom East Idaho Fun Guide, Written by Alisa Anderson Raty

For children that are two years old or younger, The American Academy of Pediatrics “strongly discourages television viewing, and encourages interactive play.” Even if they are older than two, the AAP advises no more than one or two hours of educational programs per day. It is so easy to keep our toddlers busy with cartoons and movies. However, an equally good substitute can be experiences in nature--if we are willing to put in a little more effort. They are free and provide many benefits. When reminiscing about his childhood, Richard Louv says in his book, Last Child in the Woods, “The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses.” Here are 10 ideas to help you get started introducing your young child to nature. Be sure to choose activities that are appropriate for your tod-dle’s stage of development so that the experience is enjoyable for both of you.

Learn ColorsNature can be a great teacher--even for toddlers. Take your child on a walk and point out the col-ors around you. “See the red flower? The sky is

blue. Is this leaf green? This rock is gray.”Sensory Experiences

Run barefoot or lie in the grass in an area that is free of sharp objects or thorns. Dig in dirt or mud. See what you can smell outside after a

summer rainstorm.Explore a Park

Did you know Rexburg has five parks, and Ida-ho Falls has over 30? Find one and explore the

grass, trees, hills and paths. Let your toddler out of the stroller and just follow his lead.

Feed the DucksOne way to get up close and personal with na-ture is to feed wild ducks and geese. There are plenty of opportunities at Idaho Falls Greenbelt and Rexburg’s Nature Park. Be very careful to know exactly where your toddler is at all times

when you are near water.Nature Reading

On rainy days, got to the library and check out books. Try to find books that show pictures of animals and plants that you see nearby so you

can talk about them.

Artistic InspirationGather crayons, sheets of paper and your child and head outside. Anywhere that has lots of col-ors and interesting textures to draw is great. Draw with your child. Draw clouds, trees, birds, flowers,

bugs... Grow Veggies

Give your child a small planter for his own and let him plant something that grows quickly, like beans or radishes. Or involve your child in your gardening activities, like watering or planting.

Track the WeatherIf you notice that summer storms are in the fore-

cast, help your toddler track the weather by draw-ing pictures each day. This will be a good time

to do since the weather will be something besides sunny.

Bird WatchingHang a bird feeder near a window where your

child can easily see it. Sit with your child and talk about what the birds are doing. If you’re lucky, it might be entertaining enough that you can go do

something else.Insect Observation

Catch insects and put them in a clear, plastic jar that the child can’t accidentally break. Talk about what the insects are doing. When the child is tired

of watching, turn the bugs loose.

Might as Well... An interview with Ryan Hayes from the band Midas WhaleBy Jessica Baxter

In 2009, musicians Jon Peter Lewis and Ryan Hayes met in Rexburg, California during an open mic event. They immediately began to collaborate as they realized their taste in music was similar. Hayes and Lewis created and participated in the folk rock opera Deep Love before forming the band Midas Whale. Ryan Hayes said, “We formed [the band] specifically to audition for The Voice” so they could expand their musical performances. Even though Midas Whale made the cut they did not get the opportunity to sign a record label with their mentor Adam Levine. Hayes and Lewis didn’t let this experience hold them back; on February 11, 2014 the band released their first

album, Sugar House. I recently had the opportunity to interview band member Ryan Hayes.

Q: How did you come up with the inspiration for the name Midas Whale?

Supposedly Jon asked me to go to LA and my response was might as well...

Q: When on The Voice, why did you choose to go with Adam?

We chose Adam because after having heard them all talk, it went on much longer than what was shown on TV, he seemed to be the

Music 37

one that really understood who we were, and it just felt like we couldn’t go wrong on his team.

Q: What was your most memorable moment since forming the band?

My most memorable moment in Midas Whale was probably the blind audition. The Voice is a great show because you can be a winner from the very beginning. We turned four chairs and walked away kind of dazed,

like, “did that really just happen?” It was surreal and a once in a lifetime kind of thing.

Q: What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences?

When we formed Midas Whale we weren’t really sure what genre we would be, but I have always been a writer of folk music and Jon’s music is very Americana. Now that we’ve put together an album of our own we

Music38

Music 39

usually say that our music is Folk/Western. I am highly influenced by old time singers like Jim Reeves and Jon is very influenced by songwriters like Jackson Browne.

Q: Who writes your songs? Do you coordinate together?

Jon and I aren’t very good at collaborating, so we typically just go to our own corner and hash out our songs and then bring them together to see what sticks. It’s a very good way to sort the good songs from the bad.

Q: What are your songs about? Do they cover specific topics?

Our songs cover many topics. Generally I think it’s just our thoughts on life. Typically if it’s a very personal theme it will be lyrically cryptic. Sometimes it’s best to state things in a way that they can take on different meanings for the listener.

Q: Are you currently or planning to work on a second CD?

As I found out this past year, albums are a lot of work and very expensive. I would like to do another album in the future, but we should probably first work on getting Sugar House out to the world.

Q: What plans do you have for the future? Do you have any upcoming shows?

Jon and I just finished our first album and we are now [working on] our own individual projects. We have a couple of shows booked for the end of the summer, but our biggest project is the rock opera that we produce called Deep Love. It is something we do together every fall.

Q: What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?Our biggest challenge as with most bands has been establishing who we are. It’s

something that takes a lot of work; you can’t just make a band and decide what you will sound like. It is a journey that leads you to self-discovery. Honestly I have always wondered what my “sound” would be, I’ve never made a record before, and now that it’s been almost two years I feel like I know myself much better than before.

Midas Whale currently does not have any tour dates. However, as Ryan mentioned before the band will be performing their folk rock opera Deep Love again this fall. For more information about upcoming events, albums, or anything else related to Midas Whale please visit their website:

If you live in Southeastern Idaho and are a lover of the fine arts, you have to follow the Idaho Falls Arts council. They are a nonprofit organization that own and operate many of the art centers in the Idaho region. These centers include the Willard Arts center, the Colonial theater, and the ARTitorium, which is located on Broadway. Every year they hold and perform many forms of art. The Willard Arts center includes the Carr gallery and the Hall gallery and holds art galleries that you can walk through and enjoy. In the past, WAC has had galleries that help water color paintings, bone art, and galleries with painted lamps to help raise funds for literacy programs. As of right now, they are holding galleries that hold the unique art styles of Rachel Forte and Lynn Melander. Later in the year they will hold galleries honoring the works of resident artists. The Colonial theater has a rich history behind it. Built in 1919, it had one of the largest states in the West. In 1929, it started showing moving pictures. It fell apart in the 1980s but was rebuilt in 1994 and holds theater performances to this day. Behind the Colonial theater is the Willard Arts center, which has been mentioned earlier. The ARTitorium is the latest project of the Idaho Falls Arts council. It is currently under construction but is expected to open this summer. There will be a sneak peek tour that will be held on Independence Day, but only a limited number of people will be allowed in. Tickets are being sold on the Arts center’s website. When it opens, it will have a wide variety of art (over 300 artworks from national collections) and art-making

tools, creation stations, a green screen room, a recording studio, music software, and other forms of art to help inspire children and adults alike. Of course, if you are not in the mood for art that comes in the form of paint or marble, you can always go to the Snake River concert series. Every year, between the months of June and August, a concert is held every Tuesday. So far, the Snake River

has had the honor of hosting bands that play the blues, jazz, and even the fiddle! These concerts are free to the public, and are located on the Greenbelt. This article only touches the tip of the iceberg on what the Idaho Falls Arts center has. If you want to see everything for yourself, go check out their website at idahofallsarts.org.

The Rexburg Music Scene: an Interview with Local Musician Jared Cadogan By Ryan Speakman

Jared Cadogan is a large part of the music scene in Rexburg. He performs in two bands, Fight to Win and Lobos, and does plenty of solo stuff on the side. He is in almost all of the musical events on the BYU-I campus and is quite familiar with the music scene in Rexburg. In this interview we discussed his musical career and how the citizens of Rexburg have received it.

Q: Give your audience a little background information about yourself.

A: I’ve learned to play music for people within the last couple of years. For a long time when I lived here before my mission, a lot of people told me I wasn’t a good singer. They told me to stop, and told me to just not sing. I came back and started playing and somebody eventually heard me, and said, “Oh my gosh, that is really good!” But I didn’t believe them. And then over a period of time, I started to become more bold about it and said I don’t care if I sound bad, I’m gonna play! And then, I met some really great people, and we put some stuff together. With Lobos, we’ve been playing for about a year and a half now. And it’s really nice, but it’s really difficult playing in a college town. Everyone’s really busy being responsible students. Such a drag…

Q: What genres of music do you usually play?

A: I play in two different bands. I play in Fight to Win and we play

Music 43

electronic rock. And I also play in a band called Lobos and we do folk. That is what the music scene is like in Rexburg, there is almost no hip hop or rap. It’s mostly folk and acoustic because no one wants to lug all their gear to come to school. So it’s mostly little folksy and acoustic bands and every once in a while, you’ll have a rock band.

Q: How often do you play in Rexburg?

A: I do solo stuff a couple times a week, and with band stuff, we probably play once a month. There are a lot of cool opportunities to play here. There’s Music Outlet every Monday and Sammy’s does an open mic night every Tuesday. And the school has tons of different opportunities, but I think that if you want to get a pretty good view of what the music scene is like in Rexburg, you should probably go to Sammy’s. They always do something every Friday or Saturday.

Q: How do you feel like your music is received?

A: It depends; I would honestly say that people in Rexburg are not very open-minded about music. It has to sound like something they have heard before, if it doesn’t sound like something they’ve heard before then they can’t relate with it. It’s so foreign to them, which makes it really tough when you’re trying to expand and do something different.

Q: Do you try to cater to the audience or do you try to do your own thing?

A: That’s really the battle, especially when you are trying to do a school show. The school only lets in bands that play top 40 pop songs and does covers of them. And those are the people who will win the show because that’s what everybody in Rexburg recognizes, even if it’s not the most talented group. So you kind of have to find a balance, like when I play with Lobos, we have to play about half and half. The stuff that we really like and then things like Lorde and Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. The things people

want to hear, even if it’s not what we want to play.

Q: So do you think you will only perform with these bands until you leave Rexburg, or will you try and make it big after you graduate college?

A: You know, I’m not sure. We’re trying to book some shows in Utah, but it depends on what we can pull off. It’s between coordinating schedules and people moving, but if we can do it, I’d love to. I’d love to play music and give it a shot. Chances are that it will get more and more difficult as I become a senior, and I’ll just graduate and play

music somewhere else. We’ll just see what happens.

We are currently working on an album, which hopefully will be released sometime this century. That is still yet to be determined, but I’m being ambitious.

You can find Jared Cadogan and other musicians like him perform on the BYU-I campus at music outlet every Monday at 9:00 pm at the Crossroads and other scheduled events. You can also find them at Sammy’s, where they have different bands perform every night, except Sunday. Come and see what great musicians Rexburg has to offer.

It’s Not Just About the Potatoes: Wild Aspargus Picking

For those of us who are from Idaho or have lived here for a few years, we all know that potatoes are Idaho’s largest export. However, another edible plant grows in the area that is just as delicious. That plant is asparagus. Wild asparagus grows all around southeastern Idaho along the ditches and sides of the road. I have found the aspara-gus in Rigby right next to the high school. It grows anywhere there is water nearby. The plants start to sprout at the end of May and continue to grow until the end of July. The best part? Asparagus is sold at astronomical prices at supermarkets, sometimes as much as five dollars a pound. On a good day, someone could go and pick at least five pounds of wild asparagus for absolutely nothing. Though all of this is wonderful, there

are a few things to re-member when picking and hunting for aspar-agus. One, do not pick asparagus on busy streets. These plants are suscepti-ble to being sprayed with pesticides and could be poisonous. Two, if you do see a lovely bunch of asparagus, make sure that it is not on someone’s private property. If you do want to pick some in a neighbor’s yard, make sure to ask for permission. Chances are that they have too much asparagus anyway and would love you to take it off their hands. And three, always remember to break the asparagus down at the bottom of the stalk. This ensures that a new stalk

of asparagus will grow in its place. Now, once you’ve found a good place to pick, make sure you have a car, a bag to put your produce in, some scissors, (just in case), and some sharp eyes. The best way to

locate a good piece of aspar-agus is to look low in the grass. Since it only grows one stalk at a time, you may have a hard time locating some at first. A good tip is to watch for the textured tops of the plants.

Teton Vu: Rexburg’s Own Outdoor Movie Theater

The first ever drive-in movie theater was created in the 1930’s by a man named Richard M. Hollingshead. He had the idea to bring the experience of people watching movies outdoors while sitting in their cars to the citizens of New Jersey. He experimented in his own driveway until the idea was ready to show the world. This form of entertainment grew in popularity and spread across the U.S. quickly. It even came to the small town of Rexburg, Idaho. Teton Vu, the Rexburg drive-in theater, is a double feature establishment where you pay $6.50 for two back-to-back movie show-ings. Just drive out past Walmart, take a right and follow the road a short way to find a large projection screen that plays the latest films. Teton Vu does a great job of pairing two mov-ies together that complement each other and keep the watchers entertained. Starting when it gets dark on Fridays and Saturdays, Teton Vu usually plays a fun family appropriate film that is followed by a new action flick. People interested in attending a drive-in

theater should be aware of the need for proper sound systems. The worst thing in the world at a drive-in is not being able to hear, so be sure to take a car or truck that has a loud sound sys-tem. If you are bringing a truck, be sure that the speaker sound reaches the truck bed. If you can, bring a truck! Pile a bunch of pillows and blankets into the back and cuddle up. The truck bed allows you to be outside while watching the movie instead of watching from inside a car which makes the experience much more enjoyable. Another plus that is specific to Teton Vu is the food. Teton Vu offers a wide variety of snack options that will satisfy any movie goer. Everything from the mozza-rella sticks to the milk shakes are delicious and moderately priced. Teton Vu is well priced, close, and a fun way to spend a weekend evening. It is a great date option or a family outing with the kids. Overall, the drive-in theater movie experience cannot be beat!

Rexburg’s Coolest Caves

Adventurers! Summer is approaching fast, and some of the most fun ways to stay cool in Rexburg can cost money. There are two simple solutions to this problem: you can either sit in your home with a bag of melting ice, or you can visit some of the Rexburg’s coolest (literally and metaphorically) caves! Some of the most used caves are the ice caves and the civil defense caves. Let’s start with the ice caves. They are as their name suggests: they are caves covered in ice. When you first see the entrance to the cave, it looks like a giant hole in the ground. This is a great place to go during a hot summer day, and a lot of fun for adults and older children. Since you will be crawling on your belly and your sides to get through to the end the caves, you will get a little wet, so warmer clothing and shoes with good grip are recommended. These caves are located outside of Rexburg past the sand dunes. It’s about a 20-30 minute drive. Getting there is a little tricky because the road getting to it is hidden if you aren’t looking for it. The best directions to take are once you pass the sand dunes you will come across two cattle guards. The first one is right after you pass the dunes (and please don’t speed. Cows still use these guards). The second cattle guard will be about 30 miles after. The road to the ice caves will be to your right after that. Also keep in mind that this next part of

the trip is about three miles of rough terrain. If you plan on going to the caves in your fancy Mercedes Benz, we recommend that your keep that and smaller cars at home. You’ll want a four-wheel drive vehicle or a large truck. Even then, you’ll need to be careful. The civil defense caves are located past the road to the ice caves. There are signs that politely point the way. Much like the ice caves, these were formed from lava that burrowed through for thousands of years. Unlike the ice caves, they ar-en’t covered in as much ice, and it is much room-ier. The road to these caves is also a lot smoother, but still rough enough that you need to be careful if you are not using four-wheel drive. Because of the vastness of these caves, the most popular games to play here are hide and seek in the dark. One popular way to play this is to have a lot of glow sticks handy. Carefully using a knife or scissors, you cut these open and splash them on the walls, ceiling, floor, and your-selves. The fluid will illuminate every rock and obstacle, so it is easy to see where you are going without the aid of a flashlight. Since you are cov-ered with glow stick fluid as well, you can blend in with the background. It doesn’t work very well if you are wearing white clothing so darker cloth-ing is better. Again, warmer clothing and good shoes are recommended.

• Commit to a “tech free” night. Turn off your cell phones, computer, the TV, and the lights. Use your imagination to see what’s left to do without electricity.

• Play a game from your childhood – croquet, badminton, hide and seek, miniature golf. Reminisce and be playful together.

• Build something together – ice cream sundaes, a pizza with your favorite toppings, a tower of blocks. Perhaps you will find a chuckle over the odd or weird combinations that reflect your different approaches to food, building, and life.

• Thrift Store Date. Pick a spending limit (like $5 each) and see what crazy gift(s) you can put together for your sweetheart. Try creating a crazy or luxurious outfit for each other and wear it home. It may be the only time you wear it (other than Halloween) before you donate it back to the store.

• Water and moonlight can be romantic. Is there a lake, a river, a fountain near your home? Take a walk along a body of water at night. Pause and gaze at the light shimmering on the water. Dream and imagine together.

• Peddle Boating: Plan for a picnic on the water, time can be important, it’s always nice to eat or drink something warm as you sit and watch the sunset.

• Walk to your favorite Ice Cream shop in town-eat the ice cream in a booth or take a walk to a near by park to enjoy.

• Go to a pool at night, tie glow sticks to objects that will sink. Place them in the pool. Watch how the pool will glow. Tie glow sticks onto yourselves have fun swimming and diving. This can also be done in hot tubs.

• Gather pictures from your relationship. Write the story of how you met, significant mo-ments. Have this printed and bound, so you can look back years later and enjoy. Lulu.com will help you in forming and printing the book.

• Go read children’s books on the third floor of the library.

Hopin’ for OpalsBy Julie Thimmig

A straight shot north on I-15 for about 55 minutes lands you in Spencer, Idaho: opal country. If you’re looking for something to do that’s totally out of the box, the Spencer Opal mine is the way to go! Not only is the scenery beautiful and open, but you get to hunt for your very own opals. I found out about the Spencer opal hunt through BYU-Idaho’s Out-door Activity website and instead of going in a van with a group from the school, I grabbed a few friends (and my husband) and we left to hunt for opals on a Saturday morning. This tiny town is completely devoted to their ‘world famous opals’ and there is plenty to of fun to be had hunting for them. When you come to the Opal Country Café, you will pay an admission fee of $10 ($5 for kids 4-12) for unlimited hunting and one pound of opal rock to take home from Me-morial Day to Labor Day. The opal rock is

dumped in a gated area from the mine in the mountain in a big pile where everyone who pays and brings equipment (spray bottle, close toed shoes, hammer, and eye protec-tion) can hunt. We came on a cloudy and sort of cold day, which proved to be a hindrance to opal hunting. After we paid, we were trained on how to find opal. I naively assumed that I could see an opal in a pile of dirty rock, shined up into a nice shape, and ready to put into jewelry. Opals are more difficult than that! The first step in opal hunting is to find milk-white glass on a rock. After that, you have to spray it down with water and hold it up to the light to find the specks of that opal rainbow color in straight lines (that’s why it was difficult being there on an overcast day). Usually the rainbow color is really thin, so a water bottle is your most necessary tool.

Activities 51

We went outside to the gated opal pile and started looking. There was a prospector man who had a passion for opals and helped us out when we needed to be sure. I found a few pretty good ones in the first fifteen minutes we were there, and a bunch of little ones. Not every rock had opal, so it was a lot of spraying and tossing rocks away from the pile. My husband found a rock that was really big and had a lot of white glass. When he showed it to the prospector, the prospector got really excited and showed the other people around the pile. My husband had found an opal band that was ¼” thick all around: a very rare find and very valuable! When we were done, we weighed our rocks and took them home. I highly recommend making this trip!
