Dear friends, we live in Moscow Idaho, which is located in the Idaho panhandle.  Moscow is a rural area that grows wheat, barley, lentils, and peas.  Idaho’s capital is Boise.  We are known as the “Gem State” – we produce 72 types of precious and semi-precious stones.  State Bird: Mountain bluebird.  State Horse: Appaloosa.  State Tree: Western White Pine.  State Fruit: Huckleberry.  We are famous for Sacajawea, a Lemhi/Shoshone, who was a guide and interpreter for the Lewis/Clark Expedition.  Idaho’s Salmon River is the nation’s longest free-flowing river that heads and flows within a single state.  We love Idaho and all of its beauty.
