“I met Jamie in the creepy way you make friends as an adult, through a mutual friend setting us up on a ‘gal pal’ playdate. This date was going to take place by us crawling up Mickinnick switchbacks while swapping personal details about our lives through heaving breaths and sweaty forehead swipes. Because nothing speeds up friendship like collectively pushing the limits of your respective deodorants....”

Lightning Creek Road closure rescinded – Sandpoint Ranger District
Sandpoint, Idaho (October 19, 2018) – The Idaho Panhandle National Forests has rescinded the road closure for the Lightning Creek Road #419 on the Sandpoint Ranger District. The contractor finished replacing the Wellington and Rattle Creek Bridges and road work ahead of schedule, and the road is open for travel.
The road had been closed for public safety since December 2015 following a flood event that resulted in significant damage to Lightning Creek Road, including the loss of four large concrete box culverts, three segments of road washouts, and damage to the bridges. “We appreciate everyone’s patience during the time it took to get the repair work funded and completed,” said District Ranger Jessie Berner. “It is wonderful to have Lightning Creek Road opened for the public to once again access this popular area.”
The repair work was made possible through the Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads Program. For additional information on the Lightning Creek Road, please contact the Sandpoint Ranger Station at (208) 263-5111.
