APES Part 1: Post 4

After Spain, my family and I ventured up to Idaho to see my mother's family. While we were there I noticed a lot of differences than what you normally see in good ole Houston. First off, agriculture is EVERYWHERE. The "highways", aka 1 lane each way roads, are surrounded by farmland, and I was lucky enough to be there while they were harvesting.

Lumber is also a prominent industry up in the Idahoian (is that a word?) mountains. I saw many logging trucks, stacks of cut down trees, and processing plants. The destruction of the forests can be a negative effect, but I believe that they are doing a decent job of ensuring that the forests aren't over used which allows for them to regrow.
