Idaho making Seattleites relax and have fun

Many Western states, particularly those with National Parks, get built-in tourism help from the movies. Idaho doesn't. (No one ever packs their bags for a visit after seeing My Own Private Idaho.) So, the state's tourism people decided to make their own. Boise agency Drake Cooper made it a reality-style endeavor. They scoured the Seattle area, found a stressed-out family led by overworked patriarch Tobias Lumpkin (his real name), and took them on a 10-day, 2,200-mile tour of the Spud State, with a 24-person film crew along for the ride.
