RECOGNIZING LAKE CASCADE, IDAHO AS A WASHINGTON POST 2004 TRAVEL ``HOT 
                                 SPOT''

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize an up-and-
coming resort community in my home State of Idaho. The Washington Post 
Travel Section recently chose the Top Ten domestic travel ``Hot Spots'' 
for 2004. Lake Cascade, ID was one of the destinations selected. With 
the construction of the first ski, golf, and lake resort in the Nation 
in over 20 years, the Tamarack, Lake Cascade is poised to join the 
ranks of Idaho's nationally renowned resort communities.
   Lake Cascade will gain valuable jobs, nationwide notoriety, and 
welcome economic growth from the Tamarack. I commend the business and 
community leaders for their commitment to rural development. Lake 
Cascade is the gateway to the Frank Church Wilderness Area, a place of 
stunning beauty, largely undisturbed by man. The town has a wonderful 
history as a playground for outdoor enthusiasts of all types, and draws 
visitors from many places. I look forward to watching this burgeoning 
Idaho community as it embarks on a new chapter in its history.
