| Welcome to Our Internet Home! |
Welcome to Desert Vista Idaho, our "Internet Home." Our goal is to bring our friends and family closer together through
your visits to our virtual home. We hope that you will enjoy your stay here and come back often.
Here at Desert Vista Idaho, we plan to continue expanding the site to include more of our friends and family. We hope that our
project will draw our circle just a little closer. On the positive side, it seems to be working, as we have received email from
several of our friends and family that we have not heard from in years and from as far away as Iraq and Japan. If you have
someone who would like to receive our newsletters please drop us an email and we can add them to our growing list. As time
passes, maybe more of us will be able to get together on this medium called the Internet.
Check out the “Family Album” as we add pages there on a regular basis. If you have pictures that you would like to add,
please send them and we will share them with everyone. Jeannette has again edited the journal of her great-
grandfather’s travels to California. You may now copy and print the text and save the pictures if you like. We continue to
revise and upgrade all the pages here, so please revisit all the areas and see what we have done.

| Harvest Time In The Magic Valley |
Weather in the Magic Valley is a key factor for our agricultural community. It not only controls the day to day farming operations but determines the crop
outcome at harvest time. The closest official weather forecast stations are located in Boise and Pocatello, each over 100 miles away. With the need for better
weather observations at Desert Vista and the surrounding community, Jeannette purchased a Davis Vantage Pro 2 Professional Weather Station and initiated
its operation in October 2005. In order to provide information to the community she joined the largest independent weather gathering organization in the
world, Weather Underground. Weather stations around the world provide local weather conditions, and Wunderground combines the information to supply
both current conditions and a weather database archive for anyone, anywhere connecting to the Internet. Desert Vista Weather continues to gain in
popularity, as we currently receive several thousand hits per month. We have added a weather camera to the station to provide a live view of weather
conditions here at Desert Vista. Our live Weather Cam is shown below on the left side of your screen. Click on the image to view a larger version and access
a portal to many other features. Below is a live display of the current live weather conditions here at Desert Vista Idaho. Click on the background to visit our
Weather Underground Desert Vista Idaho home page with access to volumes of weather information provided by Weather Underground. On the right you
may view a 24 hour time lapse video of Desert Vista weather conditions. Also you may access our weather station console to view graphic details of

| Welcome to Desert Vista Idaho! Our Home is located about ten miles north of Twin Falls, Idaho in the heart of the Magic Valley. While our home is far away from family and friends measured in miles, our Internet home is only a few keystrokes away. We hope that you will visit us here at our virtual Internet home often. You are always welcome and coffee is on the stove. |
Shoshone Falls is located about eight miles south
of Desert Vista. It is a true wonder and astonishing
sight especially in the spring time when the winter
snows melt and provide vast amounts of water. We
have collected several pictures and hope when you
see them you will agree that it is a true wonder.
