The old juice is gone!

Barron Lake, Idaho – Washington resident Scott Forsyth was on his first ever flight. Was with Idaho friends who are experienced in hiking and climbing.

A landscape photographer was using his camera to capture the majesty of the Sawtooth Mountains surrounding Baron Lake. While strolling under a famous feature, one had what would have been an alarming idea.

“It was funny,” said Forsyth. “Because we looked at the rock, Baron Spire or Old Smoothie, as they call it, and we were saying, Oh man, can you imagine if this thing fell?”

Four hours later they were in their camp, relaxing with some drinks, when the ground started shaking.

“I felt the Boeing 747 was flying in the sky, and frankly, it felt like a jet plane was flying overhead,” Forsyth said. “The ground began to rumble a little, and I heard a shout.”

It was an aftershock from the March 31 earthquake that had a magnitude of six-fifths on the Richter scale. The same earthquake that caused a massive beach to disappear under the waters of Lake Stanley.

But this plane-like sound was the first thing hikers heard. Listen and watch as a famous rock called Baron Spire fell from its perch. Several climbers, including Forsyth’s brash friend, have fondly referred to the spire as “old juice.”

Remember, Forsyth and his friends were hiking in that very spot, where rocks were bombarding the landscape now, just four hours earlier.

“I think I said Wow we’re going to die,” Forsyth said. “You know, if we were just there, we would have died.”

It’s the kind that Idaho State University professor Glenn Thackeray warned Stanley residents about a decade ago, after discovering an active bug now known as the Senchar tooth crack.

But Thackeray says the bug that now shakes the saw teeth is a different one, part of a series of faults called the Trans-Challis error system.

He says recent earthquakes from Reno through Utah and central Idaho are unconnected.

“The earthquake that occurred in the western side of Salt Lake Valley, which occurred about two weeks before the Stanley earthquake, we will not link these two earthquakes with anything but a coincidence in time,” Tacray said.

Idaho ranks fifth in the state for seismic activity, and Thackray says a pattern of a large seismic event every few decades is likely to continue.

“Lake Hepgen, Bora summit, earthquakes this year tend to be more severe in the long term,” said Tacray. “The best we can do is prepare for an event like this and then start our daily business.”

This makes Forsyth think twice about more hiking the Sawtooths, but ultimately he says, it’s worth the risk.

“Oh, I’ll do it again. I don’t know if I’m going to go back to those hills this year. I don’t know if anyone should hike there now.”

Could the Stanley Fault cause another major earthquake soon? This could happen tomorrow, Professor Thackeray says, it could happen in a hundred years, or it could happen in a thousand years. He suggests that Stanley residents take precautions like attaching long bookcases to the walls and stocking up on essentials.
