For anyone that is into the outdoors, there is some pretty badass backcountry that a person can dip their fingers into pretty easily down there. Incredible views and experience.
Wisconsin game tickets

Based on quick research, it seems to be gone. Possibly replaced by Mandarin House.
Gotta believe that a large percentage of buffet places didn’t make it through Covid. That presentation style doesn’t fit well in a delivery/take-out model.
My standard post-game meal has been New Garden. I can usually get there from the Cleveland B lot and be eating before traffic starts picking up. Typically puts me on the road ahead of most of the crowd.
Nobody in that dungeon has a BAC under .15. You light a match and the whole room goes up.
ruffrider--I'm flying into Boise Thursday and leaving there Monday afternoon. I already booked a jet boat ride, at this point I have about a half day open, figure to be in the vicinity of Wallowa / Joseph / Halfway. Any specific suggestions for must see places would be appreciated. I'm not interested in cheese or breweries (we have more than enough of that in Wisconsin) although I'm an avid trout fisherman I won't have time to do that, mainly interested in seeing the best mountain and river scenery, not adverse to hiking but time to do that will be limited. Thanks everybody for your helpful comments!
Even if it’s not sealed, it’s not obvious. Most people are going to try to go out the way they came in. It’ll be like The Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island, when Great White lit the place up.
No prob! As far as the game goes, we had the defensive struggle in Madison last year. Would not shock me if we got the exact opposite this year and ended up with a 41-38 type of game. I think our offense, particularly QB play will be much improved and defense may be sorta eh.
Right on! Which jet boat company did you book with? If you're doing one leg of your trip from Boise to Pullman on the oregon side, I'd do the other leg on the idaho side. Hiway 95 between Moscow and New Meadows -- spend some time on the Salmon River between Whitebird and Riggins. From New Meadows to Boise, id take 55 thru McCall and follow the Payette River south to Boise. Payette Lake at McCall is worth some time, and there's a semi-developed Hot Spring (called Gold Fork i think) 15 miles or so south of McCall that's kinda cool.
Don't worry about cheese anywhere else than Ferdinand's. You really should go there and buy a pack of Cougar Gold (or whatever strikes your fancy) cheese curds. The tins are on the expensive side and if you aren't a cheese fanatic aren't worth it....but you owe it to the state of Wisconsin to ascertain your superiority on the cheese front.
Caught me off guard hearing a Wisconsin guy wants nothing to do with cheese. Oh well, Ferdinand’s may run out that weekend anyways!
Just remember to either order online or arrange to get your cheeses directly from Ferdinand's and NOT at the Bookie. Got some Cougar gold and cheddar last fall for about $28 or $30 at Ferdinand's and had to pay $40 at the Bookie during the spring scrimmage. Ouch! Both are available online now for $33 each, no idea what shipping runs with their required cold paks. OK, I take that back-just checked the web site and shipping adds $11 per pak, which is good for 1-5 items.
For those who may not know....I think the standout at Ferninand's is also the Huckleberry Ripple Ice Cream.
Although I avoid sugar as much as possible....have you tried Huckleberry Ripple?
It wasn't until I saw that it won the national award of the best ice cream in the country. That's right. The U.S.A.
So...I tried it. I was blown away.
I mean the cheese is good, but Huckleberry Ripple is beyond extraordinary. Since I don't eat sugar, I can't order it anymore, but if I did....no doubt....3 scoops. Best ice cream I've ever tasted. Blown away.
And you know what? It's won 1st Place five times!
WSU Creamery wins national ice cream competition
The WSU Creamery’s Huckleberry Ripple ice cream melted voters’ hearts at this year’s Big Scoop competition, earning first place for the fifth time since 2015. “It’s good to be able to report back that our product is exceptional, just like WSU is. It’s kind of a ‘go Cougs’ moment,” said Gordon...

Cool story. I'll have to try it if I ever get back to Pullman. I used to go to the old Ferdinands when I was in school and get a peanut butter shake for lunch. Yum. Loved the mural telling the story of Ferdinand the cow. Just another thing that makes my alma mater special.For those who may not know....I think the standout at Ferninand's is also the Huckleberry Ripple Ice Cream.

Might have been Wilson? Looong time ago…..occasionally would get some project “cooking” in biochemistry lab (Fulmer) and race down the flights of stairs, head to Ferdinand’s and gulp down a milkshake or cone before heading back to the lab (hoping that nothing had gone horribly wrong, lol).
I think its more like trying to sell a Wisconsin guy on buying cheese is kinda like “selling ice cubes to Alaskans”, so to speak?
Do they sell Cosmic Crisps in Madison?

They are also cheap AF! My family liked the honey crisps which got up to like $3 a lb at Costco! I’ve got two teenagers who chow, we’ve been finding the cosmics for 79c/lb at Yokes and loading up!
Ah…OK Troy. Did I mention it’s been a loooooong time ago? LOL
SHOCKINGLY pretty close to 50 years ago now!
Funny. I don’t feel that old. Most of the time.
Hey you are only as old as you act. Which makes me, let's see - about 12. Although my bad ankle (football), bad knee and no ACL (softball), bad shoulder (Baseball), and torn bicep (golf!) all seem to differ. At least my most important appendage still works just fine.
Oh yeah - counting my tongue I have 2 appendages that function just fine. Thanks for reminding me!
I was warned by a Michigan alum colleague that Wisconsin fans travel well. Any guesses on how many will be at Martin Stadium in September? Thousands?
Wonder how many visitor tickets we have allocated, cuz I assume all the Coug tickets will sell out. Hopefully lots, cuz we could use the economic shot in the arm. Still can't believe they are actually going to show up.....
Coug single game tickets should sell out first day they go on sale would be my guess. 3 game packers will scoop up most of the available on the pre sale and the rest will be gone within hours.
The Cougar Cheese really is good - not as good as Husker Cheese, but quite good. I always bring a can back when I go home to Omaha. And the can thing really confuses folks! You can always buy it at the Pullman Safeway if you are running short of time but it cost quite a bit more.
If you are a hard cider drinker the PNW is the place to be. I know the midwest is slowly expanding their hard cider market but I haven't found nearly the varieties/brands as they have in the PNW. I don't know what the local restaurants have but once again, the Pullman Safeway has tons of them. Seattle Hard Cider, Tieton, 2Towns, etc. all great brands. Even Grocery Outlet (right behind Safeway).
Have fun, and Go Big Red.

Wisconsin isn't available in the 3 game pack. Just N. Colo, OSU, AZ, Stanford, and Colo.
If you get a jet boat, try to get one that leaves out of Heller Bar (up the road past Asotin). In my experience, the boat ride from Clarkston/Lewiston to Heller Bar is something you can drive and enjoy just as much. Plus, you are likely to much farther up the Snake/Salmon going from Heller Bar. IMO, it is just wasted time/money for the ride from town.
It’s my understanding if you aren’t CAF or have season tix or a 3 game pack they aren’t available yet. I think tomorrow? Thought that’s what I read maybe I’m wrong. Regardless they aren’t sold out lots of tix available so I stand corrected to our badger friend you probably won’t have a problem getting tix at least for a bit.
Yeah I think that’s gen public…if you should have priority based on the above I’m sure you can contact the office and they can help you. I just ordered 11 for my group. I wouldn’t sweat it though looks like a lot available still, so if you get on early enough on the 17th should be plenty to pick from still.
