Big Creek Webcam and Weather Station

I just saw this morning that the IAA has added a webcam and weather station at Big Creek! Here are the links. However the links they posted are to an image. Not sure how to get the updated images. I'll keep looking for a link to the live images.

Awesome! Those images should be the latest, getting overwritten at regular intervals. I think they are having a technical problem to work through, everything stopped updating late last night. How do they get internet up there, satellite?

Re: Big Creek Webcam and Weather Station

When we were in there on Saturday, I looked at the setup. Couple of solar panels, anemometer, cams and satellite dish for the Internet. Nice setup.

Edit:....

Here is the picture I took of the building and webcam weather station setup.

Re: Big Creek Webcam and Weather Station

Ok, well someone that knows more than I do about this will need to figure it out. From their FB page, the link brings up the current pic. But when I copy the link and throw it in my browser, it pulls up the original pics from June 30th. Any ideas?

Re: Big Creek Webcam and Weather Station

It's working for me. Only thing I can think of is make sure the bookmarked address is correct. Click on the FB link. Then copy and paste that out of the address bar into your bookmarked link and try again.

It's probably your browser cache. Try going to the link and refreshing with a Control-F5. This refreshes bypassing the browser cache. If that doesn't work clear your browser cache.

Re: Big Creek Webcam and Weather Station

Thanks for the links. Always nice to have a picture of the latest weather. We're headed there late this week. Planning on Minam River Lodge on Saturday, Johnson Creek on Sunday, then hopefully Big Creek on Monday. Fish Lake on Tuesday? :D

I clicked on the Idaho Aviation Association web page with my IPad and then the web cam link, it works for me.
