The grey line across is the road over the dam which lines up with the 45th Parallel.
We are halfway between the North Pole and the Equator, on earth, not on the moon!
A dug-out canoe commemorates the Lewis and Clark expedition,
which we have followed a good way of our trip.
Hay ready for shipment. Several of the photos
we've posted were taken at 70 mph out of the car window!
We arrive in Idaho Falls and see the Idaho Falls Temple beyond the dam in the
Snake River that provides 50% of the city's energy needs.
The river front has unusual art seating.
See the blue bird in the "branches" of this bench?
Here is a 40 mph shot on the way back to our campground.
For some unknown reason, we were given a cabin at Snake River RV/Camping for the price of a tenting site. Perhaps it was those threatening clouds and the whirls of wind that were blowing everything around!
11 July 2012: We departed Idaho Falls after a pancake breakfast at the campground. We have eaten out only twice since we started camping. We get in food supplies at a commissary or Walmart along the way, and throw it in the cooler in the trunk.
Today we are calling in for a quick visit with DeLynne Crossley in Pocatello, and then heading for Utah.
Between Idaho Falls and Pocatello there are 50 miles of lava beds.
Sheila at the lava beds. As the years go by the wind covers the rocks with soil,
and then plants start growing. In the future, the beds will likely be covered up.
We stop by to see DeLynne Crossley, who was an LDS missionary in Wales in 1963. Sheila and Delynne are pictured with the play house in the back garden, built by Delynne's late husband, Dennis, for their children.
Now DeLynne's grandchildren enjoy the miniature kitchen and dining area,
living room, and upstairs bedroom.
After our visit with DeLynne, we head off for Utah!
