Inland
Northwest Crossroads—Cottonwood, Idaho
History rests easy on the north central Idaho city of Cottonwood, high
on the Camas Prairie. The bones of downtown reflect a consistency
of architecture born of tragedy; only one building on Main Street predates
the massive fire that consumed Cottonwood’s commercial center in 1908.
The buildings that arose in the years following the disaster are sturdy
structures, built to last. . . .

Cottonwood Boy Scout Troop 638 recently made a trip
up to Joseph Plains to clean up an old cemetery located there. The
boys and adults spent much time with clippers, saws, weedeaters and mowers
to get the cemetery back in the shape it deserved to be in. The cemetery's
need for repair was brought to the Troop's attention by Carol Anglen and
is located on property owned by Gary Hamm, who agreed to let the Scouts
camp out on his property for the weekend. Spending the weekend working
on the project were Scouts- Drew Cochran, Tyler Hankerson, Mike Karel,
Former Scout Kevin Karel, Cub Scout Anthony Karel, Scoutmaster Terry Cochran,
Cubmaster Dan Karel, Geno Hankerson and Eldon Anglen. Pictured-Anthony
Karel, Terry Cochran, Drew Cochran Mike Karel, Kevin Karel, Tyler Hankerson.
