So if anyone is still reading this post (since its two years old) i’ll be greatly surprised, but i must respond. first let me say that i am white and a boise native (that is boise id) and while your definitely right about the racial hamogeny here, there are more than just white people here! infact we have a growing population of indians in the area…i work for the downtown ymca and am familiar with several families and have met quite a few indians around here! i cant speak for all of idaho, nor for the north west, but boise is diversifying…that being said, i have lived in other parts of the country and when i came home the last time i was upset about the “white wash” of idaho and i hope that more people can overcome preconceptions both in idaho and outside of idaho so that we can continue to diversify!

Have you ever been to Yosemite National Park? All you will ever see is desis...

Seriously, what is it with the San Jose to Yosemite, multiple family desi road trip? Where all the kids want to hike down sheer cliff walls and float down rivers in inner tubes while all the adults sit around drinking chai...

Yep, I subscribe to Nationl Geographic Adventure. My bro lived in Moscow, Idaho for the last two years but moved back to the east coast the day after our trip.

Abhi:

National Geographic's Adventure magazine had a nice article on Boise, Idaho in this month's issue. I'm sure you've already scoured it, but just in case you haven't, it was an interesting piece on the shifting demographics (folks moving from Cali and other metros) of Boise and how it isn't all that bad of a place to live.

To make desis hike up a hill, you need to a build a temple on top of it.

That definitively PROVES that desis are the most outdoorsy race of all!

They are so outdoorsy that, when the romantic couple is magically transported to Switzerland for a Bollywood song sequence, the heroine is able to freely dance around in the snow and arctic conditions while wearing just a sleeveless blouse and a light-as-a-feather chiffon sari. Who says desis can't stand the cold ?

my final proof... the piece de resistance... bollywood. all the glorious vistas painted on the silver screen ... the grand canyons, flowers of every hew sprinkled through the green meadows, the fog rolling through the valleys

Brilliant hairy_D! That definitively PROVES that desis are the most outdoorsy race of all!

hmm… the link to the pic doesn’t work. But I’m game for a hike.

It’s the one of Marley with eyes squeezed shut.

Sounds like you’re down in Denver. Maybe sometime next week? Drop me an email and lets set it up! Dancer is invited too, of course.

oh… i’m in toronto, Canada Osman but I travel around the US a fair bit. Colorado is a distinct possibility and i’m always looking for opportunities when i can stretch my friday trip to catch a little local scenery. I’ll send you my particulars offline and we should hook up when i stop by the neighborhood. needless to say, anytime yo’re up here – giveme a buzz.
