September 17, 2022 Travel to Idaho

(Note and FYI:  Many of the travel pictures that I take are done at 70 mph out the front windshield or the side window in a very bouncy truck.  Some/many may not have clarity, however, I post them for me and for you so I can record what that part of the country looks like and for my memory.)

(Note:  This blog is picture intensive! Enjoy!)

Yesterday was a much needed day of rest and I am so so glad we took time off.  This morning we were up and after securing everything, dumping what needed to be dumped and filling what needed to be filled, we were off heading west.  Some parts of today were smoky or hazy or stormy or all three.

Western part of Wyoming:

The hills:

And greenery:

Horses, horses, everywhere:

We are in Utah!

Scenes from the road:

 

 

Oh my.. I think this train is following us:

   

Beautiful red rock:

 

 

WOW!

This is the Salt Lake Valley where the Mormons first settled:

 

 

Coming off a large hill, we are treated to these incredible views:

 

LOVE the golden color:

Yes, this is an exit just for this ranch in the middle of all this beauty:

And here is the ranch – LOL!:

IDAHO – we are here:

The color contrasts are just beautiful:

 

OMG..Look at all the green:

Hay underneath that blue and white covering:

 

Mountains:

Rivers:

Cows and corn:

Patterns…

Rivers:

 

 

 

 

Can I say WOW again?

We landed at Mountain Home, ID Elks Lodge.  When we pulled in, an outdoor wedding just started near the RV area.  So we turned everything off (diesels can be loud) until the wedding was over.  This lodge has electric, with water and dump available.

After hooking up, we stopped inside for a drink and chatted with the bartender.  They were not serving any food so we picked up a pizza nearby and relaxed for the rest of the night.  There is a railroad crossing across from the Elks but the train horns were quiet until about 5AM.

We continue our journey tomorrow so stay tuned and enjoy today.
