Borah Peak

It was in Challis where two children were killed 41 years ago by a quake.

I see – brrrrr!

This one is obvious when you think about it.

There aren’t many people living in the area.

The towns of Challis of Mackay experienced the brunt of the quake's intensity.

It's no secret that Idaho is once again battling wildfires this summer. But, you don't realize just how widespread the devastation is until you see it from the top of Idaho - Borah Peak.

MACKAY, Idaho (AP) — For the second time in two weeks a climber has been rescued from Idaho's highest peak.

Borah Peak is the tallest mountain in Idaho. I would love to climb it, but there's a problem. I'm afraid of heights. Thanks to technology, there is a solution. I can watch other people do it and experience just about any situation that might happen if I were brave enough to get off my couch.

MACKAY, Idaho (AP) — A 57-year-old south-central Idaho man who slid 300 feet down an ice slope while climbing Idaho's highest peak has been rescued.

It is easy to forget that we live in earthquake country. Yes, Idaho has on occasion gotten a pretty good shaking in the past. Last night, there was another small quake although I'm doubting you felt this one.

Did you feel the 2.6 earthquake that happened just before midnight Saturday night near Challis, Idaho? Of course, you didn't. An earthquake this small wouldn't wake the chickens if their hen house was located directly over where the 2.6 was centered.
