Long since last I wrote. On the 8th of July a record low of 24 was set in Stanley just 60 miles from here. Since then the warmth has come and stayed. Many nights have been in the 50’s and at least one above 60: Great news for gardeners and for those who love warm evenings. It is a rare thing to be warm in the evening and to be able to pad around barefoot in the morning sun and say you live in Challis.

Not much rain and once again drought is making a come back. Very dry in the hills and even the cactus looks thin. Since a heavy duty storm that dropped .37 inches on the 12th no precipitation at all and only a half inch for the month.

A cutoff low spins in the Pacific and unlike the one of spring that threw moisture our way this one appears to be throwing heat our way. I looked at the weather map and saw a blob of moisture in Oregon and figured we might get some storms but it was going toward the coast and bringing fire danger. Twice this year we’ve had weather moving west through Oregon. In between it was amazingly hot out that way.
