Idaho

We were ready to get on the road for Idaho and leave Montana behind, fondly, when we discovered that the GPS wasn't to be found! We searched the motor home...nope...searched the Jeep thinking we had left it in when we carried groceries in but...nope! We headed out to Wal-Mart to buy another GPS. What else could we do? Wal-Mart didn't have the one we wanted so I found a phone book to see if I could locate one close by. I looked in my purse for a pen and paper and THERE IT WAS! I must have dropped it in when we were carrying groceries in. Silly Me! Anyway, we were on the road to Idaho!

After miles and miles of flat or rolling hills we came to a lava flow. It reminded us of New Mexico. The sign at the rest area told a little about it but not much. There was no visitor center and at the rest stop there were no brochures telling about Idaho so we decided that it wouldn't hurt to blow on through. It was still early when we got to Idaho Falls so we kept going to Pocatello. It should be an easy drive from here to Salt Lake City. We'll stay here tomorrow and leave Tuesday for Utah.

Miles of black, rough lava!

The fields here are either irrigated and green or dry, dessert looking. How do you irrigate an entire farm? They do it with huge LONG irrigation apparatus on wheels that shoots water out over huge areas. I know that lots of places irrigate but I've never seen such massive areas under irrigation. Interesting.

Next post from Utah! Should start getting interesting again.
