There are also impressive old wooden water towers at Orchard, Idaho and Bliss, Idaho.

Bummer!

Re: Bliss . . . do you mean you had troubles on Hwy 26 or were you offroad along the tracks?

No, you can drive trackside or on a paved road alongside the Bliss water tower near MP 351.
I've only been there once ~ while RV camping @ Three Island State Park in Glenns Ferry.
It's about 15 miles or less from there up to Bliss.
I like Old U.S. 30.

Thanks for sharing your shots. Too bad about your tires. 

When the wife gets a flat; it's an unfortunate and unavoidable event.

When I get the flat while chasing trains, it's because I am too stupid for not being careful where I pull over.

Nice Shot!  Havnt seen it from that angle before.  This is the subdivision that I run, so I'm there a lot.  There are actually 5 water towers remaining on the subdivision.  Wapi, Minidoka, Kimaima, Bliss and Orchard.  Thanks for your shots, sorry about your tires.

Hi Mike ~
I'm wondering if you've seen me foaming on the Nampa Sub.
I drive a dark gray Yukon and frequent the Nampa/Kuna area and also around Glenns Ferry ~ from Medbury HIll on down to King Hill.
I was in the Glenns Ferry area this past week.

Why is the tank so far away from the tracks?

NICE views....!!
