Golly! This was a fun night out for me and my fiance! I recently moved to Idaho and was looking for…read morefun stuff to do around the holidays. I enjoy plays, musical and murder mystery dinners and found out after doing an online search about Watsons mystery Cafe and i'm glad I was able to get us into this Christmas themed show !! The show was definitely a good time. I enjoyed the comedic acting, set design and costumes as well as the music and a dance number that happened during intermission. Only reason I take a star off is that the food falls a bit flat for the price you pay. The salad and soup were alright but not anything great. The soup was cream based and rich and would have benefitted greatly if they included a roll or garlic bread with it. I purchased the dinner option and put in our request for steaks this evening. I asked for my fiance's to be served medium and mine medium-well but unfortunately his came out rare and mine more of a medium than a medium-well. It was a big letdown to have our steaks undercooked but I was able to salvage them. Rather than complain we asked for a to go box and i took them home to make steak and eggs the next morning. We ate the mashed potatoes there which were good, they just weren't very warm and the corn they served was okay but perhaps a bit too seasoned with paprika. We enjoyed the cocktails we got though and the dessert was good to !! We had a few different holiday specialty cocktails. The garnishes were very festive and cute. They were presented well and tasted great. I ordered the death by chocolate for dessert, which was a chocolate and almond butter tart and we also got a slice of pumpkin pie that came with the meal. Those were both good. I would recommend skipping getting an entree and just come here for drinks and dessert... perhaps an appetizer if something catches your eye. The waitstaff and actors were all very friendly. It was definitely a fun atmosphere and I would love to come back to see more shows ! Towards the end of the night I even won a prize for being dressed festive as I wore an edgy/sexy Mrs. Clause outfit to the show - I got a couple tickets for a comedy show at their venue ! So I highly recommend dressing up for the show you go to if you're not opposed to that sort of thing !! I'll definitely be back!

(Apparently the observatory is closed on Sunday?). Entrance fee is $7 cash or check when the gate is closed. You have to be in some type of shape as ascending the 60 deg incline hill of sand takes a bit of muscle and cardio endurance to make it up. Once at the top though, it's a serene and calming experience. On the backside of the first sand dune, the Snake River runs through. Similar to an Oasis in the desert. However, as some people may know or experience, wherever there is water, comes the bugs. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the bugs (mosquitoes) attacked. Not just one or two, swarms of mosquitoes. If you're like me and have allergic itching reactions to pest bites, be warned and have full body covering along with repellent. By the time we escaped to the car my son had been bit on the head and face. Just a forewarning. Bruneau Dunes State Park seems like a cool place to be. There were 3-4 individual camping locations that's were RV friendly and vast spaces for kids to run around. Sand Dunes themselves are not WC friendly unless you invent some type of sled to push/pull the WC up the hill. Also, make sure when dusk arrives, COVER UP!

His parachute prematurely deployed as the Skycycle left the launching rail but winds caused him to drift into the canyon. At the bottom, he landed near the water. If he landed in the water, he probably would have drowned, due to a jumpsuit/harness malfunction the kept him strapped in the vehicle. Surprisingly, he survived the jump with minor injuries. At the city's visitors center, Knievel's supporters erected a monument to their hero with a carved likeness of the rocket motorcycle. It's engraved, "Robert 'Evel' Knievel: Explorer, Motorcyclist, and Daredevil. Attempted a mile-long leap of the Snake River Canyon on September 8, 1974 employing a unique Skycycle. The large dirt ramp is visible appox. 2 miles east of this point on the south ridge of the canyon. Donated to the community by Sunset Memorial." The mound of his jump is from the marker.
