NFR Historical shenanigans in Idaho

Non-fishing related
Looking at a map, I noticed some bits in Idaho that has me wondering what kinds of shenanigans happened in this vast nothingness to have some names stick.

I could always look it up on the googles, but speculating with friends is more fun.

If I was doing the map I might put a little more distance between Comical Turn and Dickshooter. Although I guess not necessarily; depends on the details.

Also gotta say, halfway between Jordan Valley and Duck Valley is pretty close to Way the F*ck Out There. Good place for extra tires, etc.

I always liked this; The Triad is a 7520' triple summited peak adjacent to Eldorado first climbed by Dick Eilertsten, Dick Lowery, and Dick Scales in 1949. Quoting from Fred Becky's Cascade Alpine Guide Vol. 2:

"This party, three of whom had identical first names, called the formation The Three Dicks, but in the interest of good taste, a similar name was derived, one that would meet society's approval."
