Haha. I know where Challis is as well, windy drifts cold snow in the winter. Beautiful country…even when Mother Nature decides to shove mountains a few feet further to the sky.Well, it was a possible avenue, at least you ruled it out.
I know where Orofino is, smack dab in the middle of the woods and yes the snow there is very similar to the "Wet" Coast mountains. Beautiful country up there too!!
