Idaho Salamander

I found this guy in the dirt that was being leveled next to my house! He's lucky he didn't get killed by the heavy machinery, squished by a rock or stepped on! Just his tail was sticking outside of the dirt. I looked at it and thought, "no way that is a salamander THAT big in Idaho!" It's the first salamander I've seen out west since I moved here. He was 8-9 inches from tip to tail. Did I ever mention how much I love Amphibians?

Early Season Snowboarding

I can't believe I went snowboarding today, Oct.6th! It's early early early for this much snow to have fallen and more is on the way. The ski resort is closed, so we had to hike up the mountain instead of riding the chairlift. It was nice to get my feet back on the snowboard, take some falls, and make some turns. I don't know who the guy is jumping on his snowboard, but I thought it was a decent shot to post.

Sept.30 Snow Storm

These pictures are from the Grand Targhee Resort website. This is how much snow they received overnight. Approximately 14 inches at the base of the ski hill! WOW!
