Loooong driving day… but once we hit Idaho it got really beautiful. We stopped for dinner in Twin Falls … apparently Evil Knievel tried to jump the snake river at this huge gorge… the sign doesn’t say if he actually made it.

Drove by some mammoth and ice caves, but didn’t have time to stop and explore them - will have to come back!

Pics of the campsite before we leave - we just made it in the last rays of dusk, and enjoyed sitting to relax in the cool evening air outside at the picnic table.

“ On September 8, 1974, Knievel attempted to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered cycle called the Skycycle X-2. The jump failed after the parachute deployed prematurely, but Knievel survived with minor injuries.” (wiki)
