Red Lion On The Falls Idaho Falls

... was so much building going on around town, it was all a bit surreal, all this money came from the uni. It became more apparent that this town was built around uni and that people are serious about their religion. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t bother me and i’m not against it. Faith is good. These people are angels compared to the rats of London and big cities alike. I just found this place interesting and bazaar. After admiring the all mighty temple ...

Charlie - "I have so many smell memories, I can lay on the seat and dream all day about them. I am excited to know that i have marked territory through several states."

Toni - Decided to go up through West Yellowstone to Cody, Wy as it looked to pricey to stay anywhere near the Tetons. Early on, I saw some elk in the river and then I got to "Old Faithful" parking lot and got a close space (miraculous) and found hundreds of people ...

... is a great little town. Motel 6 here had internet problems. I finally had them switch rooms and I could get on. It was a very nervous feeling to be incommunicado!! Ah for the days when you just jumped into your car armed with a suitcase, picnic basket and a radio, and had to find a phone booth to get in touch with home. Trying to keep up with ...

... because we only have 1 potato left and we needed to come to potato country. The truck and camper are still dirty. The truck is a 2-tone, bright red and dirt. The camper is almost white and dirt. We will find a truck wash tomorrow and get clean once again. We have decided to stay 2 nights in Idaho Falls. I didn't even know that the Snake River ran through Idaho. We are going to drive around through the countryside and just look around some of the ...

We made our way from Salt Lake City to Idaho Falls today passing through the valleys where wheat and potatoes are grown. We were surprised to see how industrialized Salt Lake City is, the north end being home to many small industries. The Wasach Mountains continued to be on our right side. We followed the Great Salt Lake until its end and then moved into the ...

... which something had caught and dragged down here to eat. Not sure I wanted the resident to be at home. Thankfully, Zac neither saw the pigeon remains nor worried about what might be lurking around the corner. The roof collapses that have previously occurred in the tunnel made for fun rock scrambling. The snow on top of the rock piles added to the fun. That it was melting at this time of the year made every step a little ...

Back to the ranch in time for a cattle drive. I also had the opportunity to get out and take photos during the "sweet light", just before the sun sets. The ranch provided me with lots of great angles for photos.

So, they move the cattle from the winter range to the spring range. They had moved a few before we got there and we helped move an additional 500 cattle one day and about 150 the next.

It was ...

Katie's family has a cattle ranch, she describes them as ranchers with an Amish twist. They raise a large herd, I learned ranchers don't like to boast how many cattle they have, and are holistic in their ranching techniques.

We got there just in time for babies. This was my first time on a ranch and I got to go onto the range and watch as they ...

... notice, the buffalo herd in the Mt. Rushmore pictures was a photo of the backdrop on the stage at the Mt. Rushmore theater. Today, you not only get real live bison, but you get the buffalo from the Anchor bar in Buffalo, New York, where the Buffalo hot wing originated. We snapped a picture of the "mud Pots" in the north end of the park, and included a shot of a geyser coming out of a ...

... on the top of a tree. Exiting out the west entrace of the park leads straight into Montana, but only a small fraction of it. We probably only drove through Montana for a good 10 minutes or so, but what we saw made us wish we could have gone back for more. Unfortunately, just moments later we were in Idaho. Most people say how great and scenic Idaho is. We apparently went through the wrong part. We went along the I-84 section and should have known better. We ...
