What a way to celebrate the end of summer, but with a little ice cream social. I know, I know, October is fall, but the weather is still nice. We will all be a little nostalgic for these long summer days, so lets celebrate at a nostalgic, Idaho ice cream parlor. You can choose food off a menu, or come and enjoy a scoop or two of old fashioned, 'home made' ice cream. It sounds so yummy it makes me want to scream!
There was a time in Boise when farms and wide open spaces were as common as heavy traffic is today. It was 1961 when Owen and Delsa Walton opened a tiny ice cream parlor in front of their farmhouse on Ustick Road—a location that was way out in the boonies at the time—and served nothing but Mrs. Walton's homemade ice cream. According to DelsasIceCream.com, customers back then could enjoy an ice cream cone on the patio while watching the Walton's cows mosey around their pasture. Not only did Delsa Walton have recipes for delicious ice cream, she also conjured up interesting concoctions like the Log Cabin Sundae. Chocolate ice cream with maple syrup and pretzel sticks, anyone? Some time after the Waltons sold Delsa's in 1971, a small kitchen and dining room were added to the parlor, and sandwiches, burgers and fries joined the menu. Gone is the farm of yesteryear. Today, the property is surrounded by subdivisions and a couple of dental offices.
The sickness is spreading all across the Treasure Valley! You are invited to attend the Treasure Valley Cacheaholics Anonymous Meeting. For those of you out there that may (or may not) have a geocaching problem, this is the event for you. This is a way to get out and meet Treasure Valley cacher's and share stories from the trail.
To log the cache, show up at the event between the hours of 6:00pm and 8:30pm and sign the Official Cacheaholics Anonymous (Not So Anonymous) Log Book. You don't have to be a Treasure Valley resident to join us. Just come out and have some fun. If you have Travel Bugs, bring them and trade with the other attendees.
PS, thanks to Myissa2 for this suggestion. I pretty much stole it from her. :)
