Good evening, everyone! Just wanted you to know that I have added Boundary and Nezperce Counties to my interactive Idaho map. I have also corrected the Ada and Idaho County web sites as their URL has changed. Payette County is still down as the county is in the process of changing servers. To get to the Idaho map just click on the small Idaho map or the words Idaho Connections. The map is a one stop source for Idaho counties and cities. I would really appreciate knowing if you have any new city/county links for me to add to the map project. Regards, Juvanne Clezie The Research Network and Idaho Connections http://www.researchnetwork.net
