6.9.
We moved to Minnesota to be near my husbands parents.
They are both gone now. Our intent all along was to move back home to Idaho.
This will be our third attempt to move back. The other times were cancelled due to family issues, but now the kids are all grown and have their own families.
One of our daughters has already moved back to Boise with her three kids, and my Dad is in a nursing home in Bend, Oregon.
Our timeline was to put the house on the market the first week in April. The housing market has been good here due to the fact that there is a shortage of housing in Rochester (50 miles away) and the expansion of the Mayo Clinic. We also have three colleges in town. So, depending on this whole outcome with the Coronavirus, we have to wait and see.
I can tell you, the minute we can put this house on the market and there's no more virus threat, we're outta here.

Just curious, what made you move to Minnesota and now you want to move back to Boise?
FWIW.... yesterdays quake was not that close to Challis.. so I am not sure why it is bering rpoerted as such. Tt was about 50 miles west of Challis as the crow flies, NW of Stanley, the Sawtooths, and Redfish Lake.

Because that is what the USGS site was reporting.
Don't ask me why they picked Challis, but that is what the site said.
Yeah, and I noticed today that the aftershocks were being listed in distance relative to Challis, Idaho City, and Cascade. So the 'location' is probably relative to the closest town with over 500 people or something like that. I guess Stanley just does not rate with its population of 67 LOL

California's getting so bad, even the earthquakes are moving to Idaho.
