The Army sent me TDY to Pocatello 3 times. I thought it was pretty boring the first time. Once I had some wheels with me the second time I found out how nice it was. I flew myself the third time and beat the folks who went commercial by 2 hours. Not bad but then again I scheduled the layovers.
I loved the little Italian restaurant not far from the college. They had some fantastic homemade salad dressing there that they bottled and sold locally. I have no idea if that place is still there but sometime I plan to drop by the town again and see how it has changed.
Outstanding hot springs not far out of town too.
