Not giving location is an ongoing procedure of local and online news sources. I have no idea why they do this. Locally, the names of places and businesses are illogical and make no sense. Addresses are rarely posted where a driver can see them, if they are posted at all. I've lived in several states and traveled extensively and no where have I encountered such practices.

Well my ex lives 2 miles from Carter lake and no way would I put water out for animals if I still lived there. You are just inviting mountain lions, bears, mountain goats etc. into your yard when there's this thing called the Thompson river right there for them to drink from, not to mention all the lakes.

Each county should make their own big fire break! Cheaper than rebuilding EVERYTHING!
