Buffalo Hump is the highest point in the Gospel Hump Wilderness of the Nez Perce National Forest. It is situated on the Clearwater/Salmon divide and with the exception of a few points in the vicinity of the Bitterroots, is the highest point between the Salmon River axis and the Canadian border. It also has 3,415 feet of prominence, which places it 17th on Idaho's list. Its summit is a fairly easy walk up from most directions, but technical climbing can be had on the west face from Mirror or the Wiseboy Lakes. The view from the top is spectacular with four states being visible; the Wallowa Mountains of Oregon, Bitterroots of Montana and the Blue Mountains and prairies of southeast Washington. The Gospel Hump Wilderness is approximately 206,053 acres and forms part of a 4.3 million acre wilderness block with the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. It is the site of many subalpine glacial lakes, many of which support good trout fishing.
The mountain is situated just inside the wilderness boundary, west of an area of extensive private mining claims. This allows motorized access to get very close to the mountain. However, the road is not well maintained and travel is extremely difficult. In fact getting to this mountain is generally more difficult than climbing the popular routes.
The area has a rich mining history. It’s hard to imagine as one looks out over the high subalpine plateau southeast of the mountain that at one time this empty, primitive area supported two mining towns, Humptown and Frogtown. These short-lived, lawless communities provided the needs for thousands of miners from the late 1800s into the early decades of the 1900s. At their height of activity there were several saloons, brothels, motels and thousands of grazing livestock to provide food. Today, very little from these towns is noticeable.
THING #19 - See and hear the geysers explode at Yellowstone
I've wanted to visit Yellowstone for a very long time so this really was a dream come true. I absolutely love nature and found it really helped me during my chemotherapy. Just being around it helped me feel better so being in Yellowstone was like a massive shot of Health in one go. It's incredible.
I only spent two days there and I would love to go back for longer and do some hiking and really get out into the wilderness.
I rented a car and managed to see quite a lot. All the things in this video are accessible by car so if your mobility is not 101% then you can still see all the major sites like Old faithful and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
In this video I show you some of the sites that I saw and also the amazing barn I stayed at in Tetonia which overlooked the stunning Teton mountains. A huge thank you to the Abely family for their generosity in letting me stay there and my gorgeous friend Dia for being wonderful company.
Old Faithful geyser erupts every 90 minutes and I saw it both in the day and also at sunset! The sunset eruption was by far the best. Less people and the steam looked stunning against the sunset backdrop.
Thank you to Tim for welcoming me into his family and taking me out on his boat in Idaho. I met a lot of good people during my time in the States.
Yellowstone and Old Faithful didn't disappoint and it was everything i hoped it would be. Definitely one for your list!

TIPS FOR TRAVEL
- if you like hiking then stay for a week or so. There are campsites and tracks galore.
- visit old faithful at sunset when the masses have left the park. A far more magical experience.
- if you are unwell and have decreased mobility you can still see all these sites and more via car.
- visit the Teton national park and Jackson hole as well. Absolutely gorgeous.
- get ready to be blown away by nature
SOLD! Minutes From World Class Fishing: 2798 Highway 12, Orofino, Idaho
SOLD! Fishermen from around the globe flock to this recreational playground which is famous for its world class fishing. In fact, Orofino is called the Steelhead Capitol of the World. Besides yielding large steelhead, the area is also great for fishing spring Chinook salmon, Kokanee salmon, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout and cutthroat trout.
Fishing is not the only recreational activity at your fingertips. Orofino is just minutes from the Dworshak Dam and Reservoir which is a popular place to go boating and camping. Wildlife is in abundance too; local hunting includes deer, elk, bear, turkey, grouse and quail. A short drive to the east gives you access to the vast public lands of the Clearwater and Nez Perce National Forests. Or visit the Flying B Ranch in Kamiah, which is a private reserve for bird hunting.
Just imagine being in the heart of this natural paradise and having the only thing that separates you from the beautiful waters of the Clearwater River be a few hundred feet. Along the Scenic Clearwater River Byway midway between Orofino and Kamiah Idaho is 286+ acres perfectly suited as a cattle or horse ranch. The ample acreage includes a pasture area for grazing which may be irrigated from the river with a state permit. The elevation of the property ranges from 1,100 to 2000 feet. However this property has a substantial amount of flat or rolling usable land, which is a rarity along the river. The lower areas are also already fenced and cross fenced and have very mild winters.
Besides a cattle & horse ranch, other potential opportunities include the possibility of a bed and breakfast or outfitters headquarters. Or it would be a great location to develop a 9-hole golf course. The property can be subdivided and backs up to hundreds of more acres of commercial timber land. The rich topsoil in the lower portion would be ideal for farming alfalfa or an orchard. Several springs and small trickle creeks can be found on the property, which attract resident whitetail deer, elk, bear, turkey, grouse and quail.
The ranch also features an approx. 2500 square foot home with a basement, a complete shop with hoist, a utility machine shed, a large hay barn and other outbuildings. Boat ramp access to the Clearwater River is just across the highway from the property.

March 2018 School Board Meeting
Watch: House final vote on articles of impeachment (FULL LIVE STREAM)
The full House of Representatives will debate and vote on the articles of impeachment. If at least one of the articles passes, Trump will be the third president in U.S. history to be impeached. If the House decides to impeach, the Senate will hold a trial to consider if Trump should be removed from office. On this historic day, The Post’s Libby Casey will be joined by Washington Post reporters Elise Viebeck, Amber Phillips, and Rhonda Colvin to take you through the process.
Trump is the fourth president in U.S. history to face impeachment, which could be approved this week on the House floor. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

Our Miss Brooks: Magazine Articles / Cow in the Closet / Takes Over Spring Garden / Orphan Twins
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.

Words at War: Faith of Our Fighters: The Bid Was Four Hearts / The Rainbow / Can Do
Wanda Wasilewska (21 January 1905 -- 29 July 1964) was a Polish and Soviet novelist and communist political activist who played an important role in the creation of a Polish division of the Soviet Red Army during World War II and the formation of the People's Republic of Poland.
She had fled the German attack on Warsaw in September 1939 and taken up residence in Soviet-occupied Lviv and eventually the Soviet Union.
Wasilewska was born on 25 January 1905 in Kraków, Austria-Hungary. Her father was Leon Wasilewski, a Polish Socialist Party politician. She studied philosophy at the Warsaw University and Polish language and Polish literature at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. After she graduated she remained at her alma mater and passed her doctorate exams in 1927. While studying she started cooperation with the Union of Socialist Youth and Society of Workers' Universities.
Soon after she finished her studies she started working as a school teacher and a journalist for various left-wing newspapers, among them Naprzód, Robotnik, Dziennik Popularny and Oblicze Dnia. She also became the chairperson of the Płomyk and Płomyczek monthlies for children, where she introduced Soviet propaganda. Although she was often criticised for her radical left-wing opinions, she joined the PPS instead of the communist party, where she was soon promoted to a member of the main party council. In her early political career she supported an alliance of all the left-wing parties with the communists against the ruling Sanacja. She was also an active supporter of many strikes in Poland. During one of the demonstrations in Kraków she met Marian Bogatko, whom she later married.
After the Polish defeat in the Polish Defensive War of 1939 and the partition of Poland into Soviet and German occupied zones, she moved to Lviv where she automatically became a Soviet citizen. The Gestapo — acting at the request of the NKVD — helped to transfer her daughter and her furniture from Warsaw to Lviv.[1] She became a member of various communist organisations uniting local Polish and Ukrainian communists. She was also a journalist for the Czerwony Sztandar (Red Banner), a Soviet propaganda newspaper printed in Polish language. In early 1940, Joseph Stalin awarded her a seat in the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. She also became the chair of the Dramatic Theatre in Lviv. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union Wasilewska fled advancing Nazi army and joined the Red Army as a war correspondent and a functionary of the Political Commandment (Politupravleniye) of the Red Army. She held the military rank of a colonel.[2] She was also one of the founders (together with Jerzy Putrament) of the Nowe Widnokręgi monthly.
After consultations with Stalin (and most probably by his direct order) she became the head of the newly formed Związek Patriotów Polskich (Society of Polish Patriots), a Soviet-created provisional government that was to control Poland. In 1944 she also became the deputy chief of the Polish Committee of National Liberation (PKWN), another provisional government which was also sponsored by the Soviet Union and opposing the Polish government in exile as the legal government of Poland. She favoured the incorporation of Poland as a republic of the Soviet Union.
After most of Poland was occupied by the Red Army she decided to stay in the Soviet Union. She also became involved in a relationship with Ukrainian playwright Oleksandr Korniychuk, with whom she moved to Kiev.
Although both her Russian and Ukrainian language abilities were very limited, she remained a member of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union for several decades. She did not return to public life, however. She died on July 29, 1964 in Kiev. She is buried in the Baikove Cemetery.
She was triple recipient of the Stalin prize for literature (1943, 1946, 1952). During the life of Joseph Stalin she was considered a classic writer of Soviet literature and her works were included into the school curriculum throughout the Soviet Union, but she was almost completely forgotten after his death.
