Thank you for the beautiful memories of the gorgeous land that's Idaho. I love the smell of the sagebrush...especially when it rains or snows, the smell is intoxicating. Great video with tons of information on the area...thank you!
Absolutely stunning! Breathtaking! Idaho is VERY underrated! Thank You so much Russ for taking us along! Awesome footage and video! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!👍👍
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thank you, Russ. Wow, base jumping off a bridge? Oh, heck no! I'm terrified of heights. And those falls are just spectacular! Wow! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Great video. I am always amazed at the intestinal fortitude and courage early settlers had in crossing this great country of ours. No matter what roads you travel on, they are spectacular in the diverse scenery.
It looks like a lot of folks used the Mackey Mine buildings for target practice! The reactor that supplied Arco's electricity, EBR-1 is south of town, a very cool spot to visit.
Your RUclips Channel is great, Russ! I really watching your RUclips Channel! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I wish you safe travels and I wish you all the best, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.
Very cool, I love Idaho. An idea for a RV trip would be the Missoula Floods, Starting in Missoula and traveling the path of the flood down to the Columbia river. During the Ice Age a glacier moved south and blocked the flow of the Clark Fork River and created Lake Missoula that was close to 1,000 ft deep. The ice dam eventually failed and a huge flood sent water up to 300 ft deep rushing across Washington state. Another idea is the lava flows across Washington state out to the Pacific ocean.
1:49:55. That visitors Center is new. You can walk down into the canyon from there. I did it once. Yes it looks very flat when viewed from the north side near i-84.
Russ, it's pronounced "show shown". The "e" on the end is silent. When most people think of Idaho they only think of mountains. There's lots more to it. We live near Twin Falls so most of this is in our backyard. The Shoshone Snack Bar has great burgers. That bridge is one of the very few in the U.S. where it's legal to base jump off of it. We see them quite often.
I was working in a steel fab shop in Spokane Washington during that quake, I didn't feel the quake but the hook block from the overhead bridge crane started to swing back and forth all by itself... it was spooky. Was watching news that evening when I heard about the earthquake and it dawned on me that it was the reason the crane block was swinging. Spokane is 300 miles to the northwest of Borah peak as the crow flies.
That earthquake site reminds me of this one here in west Tennessee on the new Madrid fault. About ten miles wide an thirty miles long an fifty feet deep. An where the lake itself formed the water of Mississippi River filled it took 2 days for those 2 days no water ran by memphis an to gulf during those 2 days. The lake now is called reelfoot named after a native American chief it's a Tennessee state park now great fishing spot. That earthquake was so violent that it rang the liberty bell in Massachusetts
That first reactor blew up, impaling two workers into the ceiling with rods going through their bodies. Their coffins had to be lead lined to be safe for the funerals. There are videos all about it here on YT. Till this day the area has warning signs about dangerous radiation.
Just east of Boise you can still see the ruts of the Oregon Trail. Imagine traversing down those steep escarpments along the Snake River in wagons with horses. You can still see where the went down to the river in those wagons. Some did not make it.

I watched Evil's failed attempt to jump Snake River Canyon on closed circuit TV back in 1974. LOL.
I remember long ago traveling with my pop to Ketchum. He had a friend that owned a ranch. Fond memories. Thanks Russ for taking us through Idaho❤
I have been that route many times... it never gets old.

More to come soon!
7:53. 😮. That's pretty recent!
I'm surprised I never heard about that earthquake.
Beautiful👍👍🙂
Lived in Twin Falls...lots of base jumpers from that bridge!
That's a pretty crazy jump!
@rvertv Saw a guy hit the water when his parachute didn't open...hell of a cracking noise when he hit...broke almost every bone in his body but lived!
Russ, it's pronounced "show shown". The "e" on the end is silent. When most people think of Idaho they only think of mountains. There's lots more to it. We live near Twin Falls so most of this is in our backyard. The Shoshone Snack Bar has great burgers. That bridge is one of the very few in the U.S. where it's legal to base jump off of it.

Thanks for the local info, I'll have to try that burger!

Shashone also has the ice caves if I remember right.

Idaho rules
I have a couple framed pictures of Mount Borah.
I hope someday someone may come to restore that old vehicle.
2:02. That's a lot of work for such a short ride.
That first reactor blew up, impaling two workers into the ceiling with rods going through their bodies. Their coffins had to be lead lined to be safe for the funerals. There are videos all about it here on YT. Till this day the area has warning signs about dangerous radiation.
By the way there is excellent fishing in Mackay, too bad you didn’t have your poll .
Just east of Boise you can still see the ruts of the Oregon Trail. Imagine traversing down those steep escarpments along the Snake River in wagons with horses. You can still see where the went down to the river in those wagons. Some did not make it.
I'll have to check those ruts out next time I'm in that area.
Two commercials every 5-6 minutes is a bit too much Russ!
Elon's a genius with Starlink.
We felt this earthquake in Helena Montana.
