Idaho Chronicle: Intro
Ben and I arrived at the Funk Compound in Lewiston, Idaho pretty late on Tuesday, June 12th, 2007. We were greeted by the whole crew: Scott, Mary Ann, Henry, Sam, Emma, and the precious dog. After the hugs we completed, I decided it would be a good idea to introduce Ben, since he had just been standing there the whole time like a creepy bearded person. After Henry had showed Ben and Jake to their room, the two weary travelers met the elders of the Funk crew on the back veranda for drinks and conversation. Jake and Ben kept Scott and his lovely wife way past their bedtimes, and then retired to the comforts of their room. This first night was indicative of how Ben and Jake were continually treated while at the Funk Compound: even though they were truly vagabonds, the Funks insisted on treating them as Kings. This is just the preview of the Idaho Chronicles. Ben and Jake arrived on the 12th, and didn’t leave until the morning of the 16th. More to come later. AND PICTURES, TOO! Here’s one to tide you over. It’s the young Funks showing off all of the land they donated to Kansas.
