This was a very pleasant visit for us on our way traveling northbound on I-84 towards Boise, ID. We…read moredecided to drive on base as we're a military retiree family, and we have military identification cards that allow us access to the base and facilities. So we refilled our vehicle with gas because gas prices are always more affordable on base rather than off base. We also stopped into both the base exchange and base commissary for some road trip shopping as well. This nine square mile Air Force Base (MHAFB) is located southwest of Mountain Home, Idaho. The U.S. Department of Defense established this military base in 1943 as a training base for several bombardment groups during World War II. Today, this is a very nice military base that supports active duty members, retirees, and their families with essential needs from health-care, shopping, groceries, fuel, housing, lodging and other support facilities.

We visited ID for the week of 9/9-9/15. We were visiting possible places to live and got lodging…read moreevery nite while there. We thought to stay at the lodge on base because my husband is military retired and I am a vet. When we got to the gate the guy gave us a huge hassle and made my husband sign me in and get tagged at the on base visitor center. (I also work as a federal employee). When we finally got to the lodge, the rate there was higher than almost any place else we had been in ID (Boise, Twin Falls). The lady said it was as a result of the federal government not subsidizing them any longer. We didn't stay. This is how veterans are treated in the state of Idaho.

It reads, "In 1870, Brigham Young appointed Ezra T. Clark, David Hess, and Nicholas Barkdull to colonize this area. Originally known a Twin Creeks, Joseph C. Rich surveyed the site in 1871. In 1872, the new settlement was named Georgetown in honor of George C. Cannon. The first public building, used as a church, school and community center, is situated 1 block south and 1/2 block west of here. In 1966, the building was given to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and is now a pioneer Relic Hall." [Review 17813 overall - 79 in Idaho - 1334 of 2022.]

(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!

This place is a nice…read morehistoric gem; they've restored it/kept it in great condition, including the original theater seats. The parental units were camped at the Glenn's Ferry campground in their monster RV, so we went to a dinner theater show for $30 per person. The meal was fantastic: huge steak, even bigger baked potato, salad, bread, great lemonade, even a little dessert. My meal was so large that I could have split it with another person. The show was cute, though patrons must remember that this is a small-town operation. Don't expect Broadway acting and theatrics; the actors forgot their lines a few times, it was hard to hear some of them (though some of them had mics, some didn't), the acting isn't Tony-award material = it's not an expensive production, so don't expect one. It was a quaint, quirky-in-a-good-way little production though and a nice way to spend an evening with the parental units. I could tell that the actors and theater proprietors care about their little theater and its productions, which made the whole thing special. Overall, I'd recommend this for a nice small-town evening.
