#Darth the Rigger and his Stage Hand Peggy Sue

This is a very special series of photos. Darth got to work the Doobie Brothers last year. He was introduced to their stage crew and got to hang out with their very own extra terrestrial, Peggy Sue.  They hug out before the show and even enjoyed BBQ. The friendship was so fun Darth can't wait to see how much fun the fair can really be.

Darth try's to Take down Sharlie Twilight Dragon of Payette Lake inMcall Idaho

In 1954 Le Isle Hennefer Tury of Springfield, Virginia named “Sharlie”. In her letter to Mr.  A. Boone McCallum, Editor of The Star News she said, “Why don’t you call the thing Sharlie? You know – ‘Vas you der, Sharlie?” The serpent of Payette Lake.

Darth vs.  Sharlie

POW! 

                                            BAM!

Darth tried as best he could to gain the higher ground but the lake monster was stronger.

And then Darth landed back on the beach.

A young boy found him and asked if he could help. 

Darth was reluctant at first.

But this boy had a way with the Sith lord.

Together they came up with a plan that involved The Force. 

This made Darth happy. 

Together they tamed Sharlie and after a fun afternoon they let her go back to the lake.

She promised not to hurt anyone ever.

Hemingway, the Oldest Chair lift in America, and a night out inKetchum Idaho with a Sith Lord

'Best of all
he loved the fall'

Ernest Hemingway's autumns in Idaho
By Gregory Foley

 If you have ever been to Idaho in the fall you already know it's magical.

A night out in Ketchum Idaho with Darth started out with a trip to the grave site of Ernest Hemingway . Darth was a bit conflicted when he learned people leave their trash as a tribute.

Find your inspiration, take the trip and into the mountains.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY in IDAHO

“Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived that distinguish one man from another.”


 I think "Farewell to Arms" will be the book he brings next time he visits.

"But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started."              -Ernest Hemingway




He made friends at the Sawtooth Club and then across the street in the Casino.

It's easy to see why this little Idaho town is so popular. The people are amazing. They love it when Darth comes to town.

 A great disturbance in the force is almost unavoidable when a Sith Lord has a double.



Does the Force exist in Sun Valley?  the website says "We’re not saying Sun Valley has special powers, but a lot of magical things do happen here."

 Darth tried using the Force to get The Ruud Mountain chairlift in Sun Valley to run again, then he learned it is on the National Register of Historic Places.
