The Bear River bluff slide near Preston moved about 15 acres of land downslope into the river channel early March 1. The event dammed the river for hours, inundated Lorin Mendenhall’s land now owned by Elden Bingham, and is seen as the valley’s most extensive slide in recent history. The erosion may accelerate river changes and affect downstream pumping at Cub River and Lewiston.
