• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This large X of an airstrip was carved into a pine tree meadow in 1932 by the Forest Service at the intersection of Moose Creek and the Selway River. That’s where the Moose Creek Ranger Station had been built in 1921 as the base of operations for several surrounding fire lookouts in Idaho’s remote Panhandle region.The airstrip was built at the beginning of the smokejumper era. The area also has the distinction as the first place that smokejumpers – Rufus Robinson and Earl Cooley – ever parachuted in to fight a fire on July 12, 1940.
