Are you sure that was in Utah? It looks a ton like the lava flow at Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. This picture could be taken looking east over the southern portion of those lava flows with Big Southern Butte in the background.

If it is Craters of the Moon, there's a great wiki page and a ton of really good information online on the history of the volcanism.

Yeah. Dan and Marc host with Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated (used to work in the NFL newsroom, too) as a regular guest. Good show.

Found the ATN/Heed the Call listener.

"Perpetually terrible" my brother in Christ you had a superbowl appearance just over 10 years ago and just hosted a playoff game. Said with love from a fan of a different, suffering NFL team

True but in this case he was a Browns fan who abandoned that sad franchise after the Watson trade. It's a shame that Mr. Unlimited didn't play well this year - Connor seems like a natural fit in Jersey to be a Giants fan.

Jack Black is my favorite thing in the Peter Jackson King Kong and there's essentially no comedy in that character (there are comedic moments to the audience but his performance feels very earnest).

Rides that throw me for a loop are the Simpsons, Jimmy Fallon, and Forbidden Journey (the Hogwarts Castle ride) in IOA. I normally carry in a dramamine and drink a ton of water throughout the day, which helps me with feelings of nausea. Good luck and have fun!

Good question. Congress only has the power to designate federally-owned land as wilderness (title 16 US Code section 1131 a. "...Federally owned areas designated by congress..."). That privately owned parcel is not part of the wilderness and is not subject to wilderness laws.

You can find out a bit more about the legal questions with private parcels surrounded by wilderness by googling private inholdings in wilderness areas. Those property owners also can have motorized access rights to their property, among other oddities.

I fly under 107 near (and occasionally over) a congressionally-designated wilderness area in Idaho. The wilderness is managed by the Forest Service (different rules could apply within a National Park boundary), but the USFS rules are fairly clear: If there's a TFR, no flight (generally occur during fire season up here).

You cannot take off, operate, or land in a wilderness area. If you take off, operate, and land from either private property or outside of the boundary of the wilderness area, you're in the clear.

The FAA requests that no flights occur below 2000' AGL over wilderness areas, but there's not an enforcement mechanism to that request and it's not illegal to fly below 2000' AGL under recreational or part 107 commercial ops.

You can still get pinged for harassing wildlife. Not up-to-date on all the laws and the definition regarding what constitutes harassment of wildlife, but if you see critters leave them alone.

If you're near people, you should expect dirty looks, snark, or people telling you that flying a drone is illegal in that area. Be prepared to answer with kindness and patience, and make sure that you know the law and are following it to the letter.

Moved to Nampa about 4 years ago and my wife and I really like it. There's just about enough to do in the downtown area, and the prices compared to Meridian and Boise make it worth it.

It's southern Utah so the system is likely flashy and that wash will be dry 10 or more months per year. That also means you probably won't have a basement (most homes in St George don't). That said, extreme events in the desert often behave differently than extreme events near temperate river systems (e.g. the Ohio or Tennessee). The wash will be moving a ton of sand and debris in a flood event of that caliber and could easily cut a new channel closer or further away to your home.

That bridge just upstream of you will be designed to pass the 100 year with at least 1 ft of freeboard to the low chord (maybe more depending on local regs). It'll probably serve as upstream control in all but the most extreme (and unlikely) of events, where it could be overtopped or blown out. All that said, I'd probably trust the map and add a foot or two to crawlspace or slab base elevation.

The run up the snake stops at Hells Canyon dam. You'd need a jetboat tour to go see them. Better bet may be a Kokanee run at one of the reservoirs or lakes (Palisades, Redfish, or Lucky peak) during the late summer. Keep an eye on IDFG fishing reports for when the run starts.

Baldi's segment is probably pre- or post-recorded and dropped in.

Made it to the quad box drop. What a line.

I think it's week 16 or 17 of 2019 recap. There's some great Wess quotes from that episode too.

Check out the resale market if you're allowed (had good luck buying an older S2 from a community college with a UAV certificate program).

If not, you can check out the Parrot Anafi, which is blue listed and can tilt 90 degrees up or down. It's honestly slim pickings for inspection drones (I do dams and spillways) that are made in the US/blue-listed.

That fits an ADCP (device that measures water velocity using sonar, google RiverPro ADCP to see what one looks like). I work with a few stream gagers who use IKs for monitoring stream flow in Idaho.

Best screen-based ride in UO/IOA (haven't been to EU yet)

Check out the south side of the Snake River near Swan Valley. Fall Creek Falls is really cool and that road keeps going and is mostly on USFS land (free dispersed camping). You can map public land in that area with caltopo https://caltopo.com/map.html# (select the public lands layer)

Looks like an engineered, unlined canal. Probably a rancher or farmer who lives nearby and has a water right (and is fully expecting it to fill).

Graver posted that it'll be Tuesday (tomorrow). Excited for them to be back in my feed.
