Summer Fun ONCE AGAIN, THE MONTHS OF SUMMER ARE HERE. Long, hot days, cooler nights and tons of adventuous activities to keep us entertained all summer long. For me, summer is all about spending time boating on one of our many local pristine

lakes. I’ve owned many boats, the current being a vintage mini day cruiser. In this issue, we explore the newest and hottest trend in boating: wakeboarding boats. July is also all about celebrating our nation’s Independence Day, spending time with family and friends and enjoying our wonderful state and all it has to offer. This month, we take a road trip to get away from it all and explore Silvies Valley Ranch, just a short three-hour drive to the west of Boise. With all the hustle of our daily lives, Roger Phillips shows us how to escape into nature and really relax (and cool off) this summer in our monthly Water & Woods feature. You won’t want to miss out on the Broadway season at the Morrison Center. Check out the musicals we can look forward to in the coming months.

CORPORATE TEAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Steven Schowengerdt CHIEF SALES OFFICER Matthew Perry

So, here’s to summer in the Treasure Valley. Make it a great one, relax, maybe get away, and we hope you enjoy this Summer Fun issue of Boise Lifestyle.

Double D Ranch is a western attire retailer that previously featured TRHibe in its Spring catalog. TRHibe, consisting of siblings Isabella, Abby, Gabby and Riley (the latter three are triplets), have performed across the country, including venues like the Boise State Dance Marathon, the Idaho Horse Expo, and the CMA Music Festival.

Whether you are just meeting a new acquaintance or hoping to get to know someone better, the quality of your questions can make a big difference. For example, it is easy to ask someone what kind of work they do, but it is much more powerful to ask them to tell you what a regular workday looks like for them.

For those who are not interested in golf or the shooting range, the resort offers award-winning spa treatments, fishing, biking, walking, hiking, goat-herding or wagon rides. “After the day starts to wind down," says Colby, "enjoy a drink in the lodge’s lobby for a nightly reception. Try their signature drink, the ‘Horseshoe Nail,’ garnished with a wedge of pickled crab apple. You might also want to try one of the 110 different types of scotch, which the ranch boasts as having the largest selection out of 14 counties.” If you aren’t a scotch fan, you might also be enticed by one of the 330 different wine offerings. “When the dinner bell rings, you will head into the large dining room to experience a 7-course meal prepared by award-winning Executive Chef, Damon Jones,” Colby says. You will find that they serve only the freshest ingredients sourced mostly from the ranch using organic ranch-raised beef and chevon, which is goat meat. They garnish the food with their own herbs, microgreens and locally-grown fruits and vegetables from neighboring farms. The sustainable practices are important to the culture on the ranch and extend to their goats who are raised for not only their meat but also the economics and how they work with the farm’s ecology. “After dinner, we urge guests to retire to the back deck at the lodge for an after-dinner beverage around the fire," Colby concludes. With a little something for everyone, the 34 well-appointed rooms and lodging will leave you wanting for nothing. The resort is family-friendly, but most of the activities and adventures like horseback riding, ranch tours, the shooting range and exploring would be better suited for older kids. The year-round ranch also has fall and winter activities, like cross country skiing, that make a road trip to this unique destination a great idea any time of the year.

Survive and Thrive on a Mountain Campout

Nature’s air conditioner is a fresh cool breeze blowing down a mountain.

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ROGER PHILLIPS

I WON’T LIE; I’M NOT A FAN OF TREASURE VALLEY SUMMERS. It’s too hot for my temperate body and mild-mannered soul. I love the long days of summer, but I make a beeline to the mountains and crank up Mother Nature’s air conditioner—a fresh mountain breeze. Luckily for me, the mountains are close. Follow the caravan north every Friday, and you will find emerald forests, wildflower-dotted meadows, sparkling lakes and streams and solemn gray peaks. If you’re a pavement person (and I mean that in a nice way), the mountains charge an admission fee for their beauty and tranquility, and they don’t accept debit cards. You pay by dealing with rough roads, bug bites, campfire smoke in your eyes, critter sounds in the night and unexpected rainstorms that can turn your mountain oasis into a mud bog. But rest assured, there are cherished memories to be made in the mountains, and after my lifetime of glorious days and inglorious mishaps, let me share some hard-earned wisdom from decades of backcountry camping. 24

DRIVERâ€™S NOTEBOOK

Get Ready to Shred! THE 2019 MASTERCRAFT XSTAR, A PRO-LEVEL WAKEBOARD BOAT

ARTICLE RICHARD MEYER | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY PRESTIGE WATER SPORTS

Boise Lifestyle | July 2019

IT’S HARD TO FIND A WATERCRAFT THAT CAN TOP THE THRILL OF A MODERN WAKEBOARDING BOAT. If you want to wakesurf 8-13 mph and go for your first 360-spin or even kick up the speed to 18-23 mph and master your inverts, you’re going to need a wake boat. Wake boats have many unique features that don’t exist on other boat types: unique hull technology, ballasts, pumps, trim tabs, plates, towers and cruise control. Combine those features with an outrageous sound system, and it’s all smiles from there. The technology is designed to create the perfect wake, no matter what your skill level or which watersport you choose. Add up to 16 passengers, and you have a recipe for all-day family fun at the lake. The fifth generation 2019 Mastercraft XStar is a prime example of a pro-level wakeboard boat that also has a Gen 2 Surf system that makes it a perfect wakesurfing boat. With the touch of a button, custom waves are paired to profiles, so no matter your size, age or ability level, the entire family gets to shred.

PARTING THOUGHTS

Inspired b y S u c c e s s

Lynn Gunter

WHAT SET YOU ON YOUR CAREER PATH WITH THE BSA? As a kid, I only made it to the Tenderfoot Scout rank— second of seven ranks. I truly loved scouting, but my troop did not have consistent leadership. I made a commitment long ago that if I ever served as an adult volunteer, I would be the kind of leader I wished for as a youth. In 1993, I was asked to serve as a scoutmaster and had a remarkable volunteer experience. I earned a few degrees in social sciences in college. I always wanted to be a professional “do-gooder.” After retiring from a 20-year career in retail, I had many avenues to pursue, including social work. At that time, a good friend and professional scouter introduced me to the profession, and the rest is history. WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF SUCCESS? In my profession, it is leaving a positive impression on the lives of the youth we serve. I am thrilled to belong to an organization that creates adventure. And through adventure, we place children in a laboratory of sorts to instill in them values and character. To me, ultimate success will be when this rising generation realizes their Duty to God, Duty to Country and Duty to Self. And they can have a whole lot of fun while on the adventure! WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR SUCCESS HABITS?

+DRIVEN +ENTHUSIASTIC +COMMITTED TO YOUTH +SCOUT EXECUTIVE/CEO, ORE-IDA COUNCIL, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

To be truly successful, I follow a simple formula: Work hard. Keep the rules. Pray. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY? Get involved! Especially with a youth-serving organization. Your time and/or treasure will help transform tomorrow’s community. Today, too many children seek self-identity from social media. Help them discover their self-worth through positive activities and programs. If you or your children would like to be involved with the Ore-Ida Council, BSA call 208-376-4411.
