    Please don't give away our secrets. Idaho is cold and nasty. Not worth visiting.

    At 2:00: She says ""Sun Also Rises" is something that he worked on while he was here in Sun Valley, that's kind of one of my favorite tributes to spending time pursuing the outdoors and a life of adventure, stepping away from urban stresses.."
    Hahahahaha
    She has NO IDEA WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT?
    Sun Also Rises was basically about the stresses of young urbanites in Europe, cheating on each other and going to bullfights. Ie. What he was doing in Paris and Spain during the 20's!!
    He honestly didn't work on much writing in Idaho that we know of. He had undergone electro-convulsive shock therapy the year at the Mayo clinic he moved to Idaho full time. He had totally lost his mind while he was living in Idaho after his ECT.

      "The Sun Rises Above the Mountains" is also a translation of the word Idaho in Shoshoni i believe.

      Not only that, because she also said that he hated the writing process, when, in fact, he had written in several letters that that was when he was the most happy.

    FYI - there's one other way into the Frank Church Wilderness. There's still a dozen or so (maintained) back country airstrips. I've heard there are other places to land too if you're brave enough. Other than that, you come down the Salmon River on a raft or hoof it in.

    The journalist went to Idaho to live, Hemingway went there to die, although truth was he had already "died" about 2 years before that in Cuba, which he left for Idaho after 10+ years. He was not even a year in Idaho before he shot himself and in that year months were spent on two separate trips to the Mayo Clinic where he was given ECT (electroconvulsive shock therapy) 15 times. He was mesmerized w/ suicide, had to be stopped from walking into the propellers of a plane at the airport... he had 7 suicides in his family including him, his brother, sister, and father. Idaho is where his biographers got the striking B&W photos of him with the vacant look in his eyes - there is no there there anymore. JFK worked out a deal w/ the Castro govt after they began nationalizing American properties whereby Mary (wife #4) was allowed to go there and get some of this things, she remained at the Idaho house until her death in the 1980s. Mary was told to keep his guns locked up, she intentionally left the key to gun storage in the basement on the kitchen table (saying demurely she didn't think a man should be kept from his things), he shot himself in the foyer. There's a video on UA-cam of Orson Welles talking about him and Orson knew him during these Ketchum months, said he was a very, very sick man. Orson does not point out Ketchum, but the Ketchum home had a cinematic projector room and Orson relates this room in the video.
    Ketchum was the last hunting trip where he bagged his last game - himself.

    >>-------------------------------> My report on the Sun Valley area. I was there in 2014, and it shocked me to see and feel so cold and business like for an Idaho community. Idaho towns have hospitality about them and they are personable to people, not the Sun Valley area! No way! Why, because most of the people who live there now are stuck-up a-holes from places like California, Seattle, Denver, Chicago and New York. Papa would HATE IT there today!
    I've met many of the old timers that were born and lived there for decades. They're the ones who have pointed this out to me.

      I grew up in the Twin Falls area and I couldn't agree with you more. Most Idahoans hate Sun Valley because of the exact reason you stated.

      We Idahoans don't really claim Sun Valley. Nobody there is from Idaho. McCall is more indicative of Idaho than Ketchum.

    What the lady said about him hating writing seems rather inaccurate considering that Hemingway himself mentioned in several letters that that was when he was the happiest.

    Despite what his "guide" says, those look like rainbow stockies. The adipose fins are clipped. The only truly "wild" indigenous trout in Idaho are cutthroat trout. The Middle Fork of the Salmon is famous for its cutthroat trout, but those are not cuts that they are cooking in the pan.
