Fairfield

We embarked on our Eastern Idaho travels on Monday, April 19 in the afternoon.  First stop: FAIRFIELD. I apologize about being so behind on my posting, internet access has been limited on this trip.  My first priority this week was to get caught up from the Northern Idaho trip, apparently people have been asking about it.  :)  It is great to have so many interested readers.  Thank you!

So we drove to Fairfield for our evening focus group meeting at the Sandwiched Inn deli.  Halfway through the drive I got to wave a quick hello to my hometown of Mountain Home.  Monday was beautiful!  I had to quickly discard of my sweater, what a nice warm & sunny day!

Thank you to the Sandwiched Inn deli for providing a meeting space along with a delicious meal!  Fairfield is small, but holds a quaint charm.  In our meeting we were quickly informed of how isolated their town was.  There is only one grocery store in town and they are unable to accept food stamps.  The residents have to drive to Twin Falls or Jerome, which is at least 57 miles away to access any other grocery stores.  This can take well over 2 hours in the winter time, due to snow ins that lead to road closures if they are even able to put gas into their vehicle.

Here is a glimpse at Fairfield:

We drove to Ketchum that night and were able to stay with someone who had just bought a house.  Thank you Craig for allowing us to stay with you, especially since you were in the middle of the move in process...we felt very welcome there!

Next stop: CHALLIS!
