Newsflash

Sept 6, 2010: I have updated the Mountain Home Voters Guide to the 2010 General Election. This "sample ballot" for Mountain Home residents now includes the candidates for the Western Elmore County Recreation District. Two local residents have stepped up to the plate and believe they can do a proper job running the WECRD. Hopefully Judy Mayne and Nelson will give us the opportunity to discover what they plan on doing to straighten out the WECRD. Click HERE to download the guide.

Local Newspaper On-line – The Owyhee Avalanche

Homedale, Idaho has an on-line newspaper that is good to read on occasion.

Homedale's Owyhee Avalanche Newspaper
Owyhee Avalanche Website:  http://www.owyheepublishing.com/

The Owyhee Publishing Company located in Homedale publishes a weekly newspaper covering  stories from southwestern Idaho called the "Owyhee Avalanche".  I found this on-line version about one month ago and have been browsing the news from Owyhee County ever since.  While this newspaper isn't as large as it's eastern neighbor the Idaho Statesmen , it does offer some cool stories and letters to the editor.

Where is Homedale?

I've never been to Homedale but will likely visit this town sometime in the spring.  It's looks like an excellent jumping off place for some good ATV'ing, hiking and rockhounding.  So what about Homedale?
-  Population of about 2,500 people.
-  Located at the intersection of Highway 95 and the Snake River.
-  Looking at a satellite photo, Homedale is obviously an agricultural community with farms completely surrounding the city.
-  Likely only one hotel located here and it's called The Sunnydale Motel with only nine room.
-  Mountain Home is about 84 miles from Homedale, Idaho.
