NOOOOO! Idaho is not "nearby"! It's 12,872 miles by car and airplanes don't land here because the natives shoot at them. There's desert and wild animals and giant tarantulas and Gila monsters and grizzled b'ars and chupacabras everywhere! (Note to self: look up plural to "chupacabra" - chupacabrae? There's lots of them anyways). We have a total eclipse of the sun every weekend. Graboids! Giant cannibal potatoes (note to self: wouldn't cannibal potatoes eat other potatoes?) Plagues of locusts carrying plague! It rains poisonous frogs! When it rains. It never rains. Nope, you don't want to come to Idaho.
You forgot Mormon Crickets...
