What happened to Camas National Wildlife Refuge

A few years ago when we first visited, there were so many ponds and wildlife. We visited almost every year since then, the ponds are drier and now they are mostly dry up. The wildlife are almost disappearing especially the white tails and birds. There are apparently some projects going on this year as we saw in the most recent visit. I am not sure whether it will recover the ecosystem or not.

Local Cop Violates Civil Rights

This dirtbag clearly doesn't understand civil rights.

Not saying that anyone is blameless, but we have rights and rules for a reason. Idaho is in the new a few times every year for dirtbag cops. Time to put a stop to this.

24 y.o male looking for some FRIENDS

All my friends are Mormon, but I recently left the Mormon church. I’ve been becoming acquainted with drinking and would love to drink and party with some folks around my age. DMs are open.

Black Friday in Idaho Falls Worth It???

Overall, it seems like Black Friday over the years has gotten worse and worse with places like Amazon bumping up prices to lower it to the normal price during Black Friday, and in-person stores like Best Buy and Walmart doing the same.

Is it worth going out and about in Idaho Falls for Black Friday?

Are there any stores left that actually have good deals around this time?

Try this on your next camping trip

If you want to make your next camping trip a more authentic experience you should try this out. My cousin makes these pocket sized durable foraging guides, small enough to slip in your wallet. It has 55 of the most commonly found edible plants, trees, nuts and fruits in North America. It goes over what parts of the plant are edible, how to prepare them and any medicinal benefits they have. So you can give foraging a try on your next camping trip and spice up your meals whilst developing a useful skill. They're super cheap too, you can get 4 of them for just $39.95 so you can equip the whole family and make an activity out of it. Plus it's just handy to have if you frequently go camping or hiking, you never know when you might find yourself in a dire situation with no reception. It provides some peace of mind knowing you and your family can find food anywhere.

Here's the link if you're interested - https://thepocketprepper.com

Self-serve soda flavoring stores

So I like Shaka's for coconut and vanilla soda flavorings but I was wondering if there are any other gas station convenience stores or similar places that offer that kind of thing?

Is it okay to ask about jobs on here?

Feel free to remove this if it’s not allowed, I’m just looking to put down roots in Idaho Falls and exploring work options, I grew up here and have family close. I have a Bachelors degree in communications and a RadCon Tech certification/about a years’ experience in nuclear but haven’t had much luck getting hired on at the labs, where I’ve wanted to work for a while, and wanted to see if there were any other opportunities around. I’m kind of up to work anywhere or do anything at this point if it pays the bills, so I appreciate any leads!

Cross country skiing lessons and places

I'm very interested in getting some cross country lessons (both styles). Are there any places in town that offer that? Most of the places I check online are 30 minutes to an hour away.

How much is everyone paying for their utilities?

I’m coming from Texas and I pay about $500 a month in electric and water for a house that is approximately 2500 square feet. My house does not have gas

I’ll be downsizing my home and I’ve heard that Idaho overall is less for utilities, but I’d like some actual numbers per square footage

Is A/C a must have for your house here?

I'm planning to move to the area next year and noticed that many house listings don't have central A/C. For those who go without or rely on portable/window units, how do you find the summers? My wife and I don’t sleep great if it's too warm, but we live in the south right now and it’s hot 8 or 9 months out of the year so it’ll be a big difference I’m sure.

We're pretty particular about what we want in a house, so we’re figuring out what compromises might be reasonable. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: thanks for the input everyone! Definitely looks like central air will be a priority for me when I’m looking for homes.

Does anyone know how to get into working at one of the mortuaries/crematories/funeral homes in the Idaho Falls area?

I’m mainly interested in being a body transport tech. Wood Funeral Home, Coltrin, Buck Murphy, and maybe Eckersell Funeral Home in Rigby. This might not be a question for this sub. Apologies if not, but any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Gold's Gym, Empire Strength, or Anytime fitness?

Any Pros and Cons to these places?

Which do you suggest going to?

I saw online that Gold's has a punching bag which is a plus as I like hitting the bag for cardio.

Just not happy

Hello, When you guys have ever been stuck or just not happy, what have you done to get out of that hole? I’m 29 male. Lately, I haven’t been happy anywhere. I have been feeling drained at work, and I am not happy anymore there. I mean, everything is fine and students like me, but I am not happy there. I’m angry, frustrated with bosses and parents, and I am even more frustrated about communication. I have been in talks for a new position, which not only has better pay but appears to be way more fun, but I do not know if that will make me happy or not. Even at home, I’m just angry. For absolutely no reason I’ll just shut down. I am not exactly sure when this started, but it’s been happening for about three months now. I’ve been working out, taking pills, and even more to get over this funk but I cannot. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

Let’s be friends. New hire at INL

Hello all, I will be moving to IF in less than a month’s time. I enjoy being outdoors, archery, hiking, playing musical instruments and similar artsy stuff. Would love to make friends with likeminded people. Also, can someone teach me how to snowboard?

I also enjoy playing video games. And I have a dog whom I love to the moon and back. I am 30 M.

Lastly, any reviews on Pioneer Crossing Apartments?

Beehive CU ATM Fees

So what's up with Beehive still advertising no ATM fees but now charging if you use a different bank's card? And also, why did they start charging ATM fees? Any other local places that don't?

Need a social life

Hi, I'm struggling with making friends. 25 F and socially awkward. I'm trying to go to the gym more, maybe take up dancing lessons or learn to hike. I mostly play video games in my downtime but I'm trying to branch out and meet new people. Does anyone have recommendations for places to meet people? I'm not mormon so my options feel limited lol

Any supermarkets that sell potato knishes in IF?

Hey all, a possibly bizarre question. My wife and I live in Jackson but we're in IF pretty regularly because Costco and Home Depot and a Toyota dealer and basically everything.

I'm originally from the NYC metro area and have been craving a potato knish and NONE of the supermarkets here sell them. IF seems like it just might have a supermarket that sells them but I don't want to drive all over town looking. The closest kosher deli to here is Park City and I'm not driving all the way to Utah for a knish, and I'd rather not have to learn how to make them.

Anyone know of they're available in IF anywhere?
