chrisindallas: @LCRRinO My childhood best friend started his Army career welding tanks. His wife was a track mechanic. Now he's EOD.

chrisindallas: @LCRRinO Yeah, they run those M1A1s out into the desert south of Gowen Field sometimes.

chrisindallas: @LCRRinO Boise is definitely high desert. N. Idaho is a little wetter with a lot of white pine forests and wheat farms over rolling hills.

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Where did you grow up? I take it you're not from Northern Idaho. I'm not either, but I went to school there.

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel On the south side of Lake Coeur d'Alene, there is a cool causeway with a swing bridge in the middle of it.

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel No problem, let me know if you have any questions. Are you in Coeur d'Alene for vacation or did work take you there?

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Also, the MILW crossed just south of Spokane, and there are a couple cool bridges still standing in Tekoa and Rosalia

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel You're not too far from Potlatch, which is an old company town. You can see on that map that there were branchlines all over

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel and Camas Prairie. Lots of great trestles and bridges.http://bit.ly/9WUBhK for photos I've taken

chrisindallas: How much time do you have? I've done a trip from Spokane to Grangeville several times. All day drive, but worth it. Palouse and Lewiston...

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Was just in Spokane for the NP convention. Lots of great shortlines in the area. Closer to Spokane is Coeur d'Alane.

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Have you done any railfanning in that part of the country before?

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel You might try to catch the St. Maries before it os scrapped. Have you ever been down to see the Camas Prairie?

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Here's a map from my old web site: http://bit.ly/9zaMBE

chrisindallas: @ShortlineModel Sure, past or present?

chrisindallas: I'm going to a Meetup with Dallas Drupal Users Group! http://meetup.com/u/qSJ which is part of OpenCamp.

chrisindallas: Meet the teacher night. (@ Huffines Middle School) http://4sq.com/9tf1Ua

chrisindallas: RT @pbur: This is hilarious: http://bit.ly/bTeIz7 Maybe NSFW. <- I'm speachless

chrisindallas: @hawkear Yes, I think so. ;-)

chrisindallas: The correct answer should probably have been none of us knew what we were doing then.
