Idaho: Anybody heading to the capital this weekend?

[LandDiver]

Just wondering if anybody fem this forum who live in Idaho plan on heading to the capital this weekend. I've never attended such an event, but being new to this sport I think it would help me understand the fight more.

I am planning to attend. Trying to convince my hunting buddies to join as well. The more the merrier.

I'll be there. I think it's going to be a good one.

Plan on being there also, that is unless the roads turn to crap on our way back from funeral in E. Washington on Fri. Figured I would drop in at 10th Street Station for a beverage after if anybody is so inclined.

K-9 is damn nice watering hole as well. Good burgers!

MAR 4: Public Lands Rally- Boise, ID
Sat Mar 4th 11:00am - 2:00pm
BoiseIDIdahoPublic-Lands
700 W Jefferson St, Boise, ID 83720, USA map

Come show your support for public lands! Calling all Idahoans who love their public lands, let's rally in support to show our state and federal leaders that public lands belong to everyone.

Idaho's national forests and public lands are treasures that belong to all Idahoans and all Americans. Some Idaho politicians want to ignore that fact. Today, Idaho politicians are making a grab to control and sell off Idaho's most treasured landscapes. Idaho's public lands—Hells Canyon, the Sawtooths, the Frank Church or Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Areas—are not for sale.

Size estimates?

 

[Elkmagnet]

I doubt I'm even close but I was guessing 800-1200

Was fun watching the little kids playing in the mud holes in the center island. I only got high-centered once with a dog leash so all in all a good morning. Others have posted better pics than I took so will stand down in that regard.

Great time at the Capitol Building today. I teach at a school of 1200 students and would say the crowd was equal to or slightly larger then the number of students we have standing on our football field during a fire drill at the school. I would guess 1200-1400 in attendance. Got a kick out of some of the creative signs people came up with.
