My 4th of July celebration didn't include fireworks. Instead, it was filled with family, hot springs, fishing with my nephew, bull snakes, rivers, and mountain air.
None of the earthquakes are terribly large, oh wait...There's one at magnitude 5.3. Several in the 2, 3, and 4 magnitude range but there's A TON OF THEM all tightly centered just east of Soda Springs, Idaho.
The southern region of Gallatin County along the Montana/Idaho border is included in this weekend's Winter Weather Advisory. Mountain passes will experience hazardous travel conditions with up to 12" of snow possible.
There's a really cool music festival happening in my home state of Idaho this weekend. It's called the Braun Brothers Reunion, and it happens every year in Challis, Idaho. It's a little over five hours west of Bozeman. The BBR is very similar to the Red Ants Pants Festival here in Montana...
I am always amazed how beautiful it is to fly in and out of Bozeman. I feel so fortunate to be living in this winter paradise. Take a look at this video. It's from a charter that is flying from Bozeman Montana to Lewiston Idaho!
