Fortgolfer85 - That 2020 Subaru Outback has lot's of chops. We replaced our 2007 Subaru Forester with a 2018 Tacoma Double Cab, Short bed, TRD Off-road. I haven't been able to get it into one of my favorite Fly-fishing holes; because I don't want to add sage pinstripping. The forester got me...

Photo says it all. We had to 3.9, 3.8 Earth quakes this morning in the Central Mtn, near the middle fork of the Salmon River. Road is closed - until thwy can get it cleared.

Very Active this week!

Depending on the Size (Richter Scale) and Duration (time) will determine how Liquification of Soils go out the Mississippi. The Navy maps are scary.

Morning Scott, Thanks for the CalTrans link. You didn't upset me. I was seeking local input, as we (OB) have members in the area. When the Nevada quake happened it broke pavement. DG

Hi Scott, The post stands. First Quake originally reported on my app at 6.1, and was down-graded. The USGS.gov site has been very active today. Even Stanley, Idaho had a 2.8 aftershock. DG

There have been several 5.0+ Earthquakes and lesser aftershocks from Mammoth Lakes down to Searles Valley, does anyone know of any damages along 395? DG

Rick, If, and only if - she want's to see the whole park, a portian of it is in Canada, and you have to have a passport to get back into the states. The Waterton Lake N.P. is part of the International Peace Park World Heritage Site. It's worth the trip. As is Many Glaciers. DG
