Quick Trip To McCall Idaho

Shoshone Falls In 30 Minutes
I was meeting a colleague in Twin Falls this morning. As usual, I was early. Quite a bit this morning. I was there half an hour early. On top of that, the person I was meeting called and said they would be half an hour late. That left me 1 hour to kill and I…

For those who hadn’t noticed, there is finally a building in what was once the big hole in the middle of town. It just so happens that the company I work for is doing the HVAC controls for the building. It’s a pretty big project, the tallest building in Idaho. The project is being run…
