Bennett Mountain Hosts the Supermoon

Click the photo for a bigger and retouched version.

(May 5th, 2012) The supermoon event of the year was held by the heavens over Idaho last night. I captured the event as it was heading west over Bennett Mountain at 10:20PM. This picture was taken at latitude/longitude 43.279192, -115.532426 on the Prairie Cut-Off- Road.

The moon was actually bright enough that I could semi-easily hike through the sagebrush steppe. If I was thinking, I would have brought my fishing pole and tried my luck in Long Tom Reservoir. Ooops.


Thanks,

New Idaho Video's from Tim Bondy

1.  Seafoam Road in the Challis National Forest ATV Video



Taken on the gravel roads northwest of Stanley Idaho on Sunday September 19th, 2010.  This area is quite scenic and the road into this portion of the National Forest gives you great access to the more wild spots of Idaho.  The Frank Church/River of No Return Wilderness closely border this road giving you easier access to hiking trails and high mountain lakes.  Video is taken from the back of our Arctic Cat ATV.

Read my trip report on this trip at:  http://bondyweb.com/mountain-home-outdoors/54-not-so-local-outdoor-news/365-josephus-lake-atv-trip-seafoam-lake-area-near-stanley-idaho

2.  Joesphus Lake Video



This video of Josephus Lake gives you an idea of of the semi-easy access to a high mountain lake northwest of Stanley Idaho.  Taken on the same day as the Seafoam Road video.  

3.  Mountain Home Idaho's Fall Harvest Festival



Video taken during the Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday October 2nd, 2010.  See an impromptu straight-line skate demo and the local band “Workin on Fire”.  The festival was held in downtown Mountain Home.

History - Murphy, Idaho Courthouse Old and New

E-mail Print PDF
On Monday June 21st 2010, we headed out to southwestern Idaho for some more exploring.  On the way home we drove through the town of Murphy, Idaho which is the county seat of Owyhee County. I wondered  how old the courthouse really was and found out it was built around 1935.   How about a before and after comparison?

Strange Find in Owyhee Desert

E-mail Print PDF
Recently, I was on a rock hounding trip south of Grand View, Idaho in the Owyhee Desert when I came upon a weird and unidentified man-made structure. Can you tell me what this thing is?

Strange Structure

Dog for Scale
My Plott Hound gives some scale to the Owyhee structure
Addie, my dog is featured to give some scale to this strange structure. She is about 3 feet from nose to butt and stands about 2 feet from ground to top of her back.

Under the Roof
Looking under the Owyhee structures roof
Concrete base with some type of “turkey baster” or suction device lying in the bottom of the basin. Obviously the picture was taken on a slant so you have to adjust for this “oops Kodak moment”.

Location of Structure

Video - Kayaking Idaho's Bruneau River

E-mail Print PDF

This video made in May of 2006 shows a couple of kayakers taking on the Bruneau River.  While I don't know where they put into the river, it looks like the road into the canyon is rather rough.
