Inkom Idaho is the epitome of small town America. It is here I spent an idyllic and blissful, albeit sheltered, childhood. Both my parents were born and raised in the area, as well as my grandparents, and in a couple instances great-grandparents.  I think it safe to say the Bell family is well rooted in Southeast Idaho. My childhood in Inkom was filled with bike rides, hikes in the hills, skiing on the slopes, and floating down the rivers. While my future plans will not likely lead me back to “the valley,” there is no doubt in my mind that Inkom will always be the place I “come home” to.
