I am learning things daily about this great state. I found some interesting facts about Idaho that seem almost too strange to be true, but they are. Some of them are just fascinating.

Did you know that Idaho is bigger than all of New England combined? In case you are like me and aren't good at geography, that includes Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
