    Hi, Sally. I think that Soda springs, Idaho, is named for the hundred natural springs of carbonated water that are located in and around the city.
    Also, This area has a continental climate and weather with long ,cold, snowy winter and cool summers.
    Anyway, I always thank you for your video. Best wishes to you! ❤

    This is literally my hometown, Soda Springs! Legend tells that it originally was named Beer Springs as the spring waters were used for beer, too.

    One unsung hero of the Oregon Trail was Ezra Meeker. He had the insight to preserve and mark the trail around 1919 before it was all ploughed under.
