The farthest is Sheep Hill at 40 miles. She's perched on top of a bald, twin-peaked mountain. If I didn't know it was a lookout, I'd swear it was a rock outcropping. Can't see Shissler, Gardiner, Salmon Mountain, Chair Point, Carey Dome, or Oregon Butte because of mountains. But I can hear them on the radio.
Storms usually take shape off to the southwest.
They form here in the early afternoon as air from Oregon's high desert pushes up against the mountains of western Idaho. One seems to be collecting down there right now, but it doesn't look like much. An hour passes. I can hear faint thunder in the distance. No visitors so far.
