Idaho Falls - Wednesday, Oct 10

Day 3 on the road and more of a normal day for us.  The thumping wheel(s) seem to be humming again.  It was chilly out, but so far the roads have been good & traffic light. Yesterday without power, we were early to bed / early to rise.  We crossed the border at Coutts just before 8AM.  We made it to Great Falls on the fuel we purchased in RD yesterday and were finally able to enjoy the very reasonably priced Montana go juice - it worked out to about 81.9 cents a litre.  Oh yes I almost neglected to mention the very reasonably priced scotch whiskey - for Canada anyway; but it sure doesn't compete favourably with the stuff I picked up in Wales. 
The border agent was one of those guys with no sense of ha ha, so it was: yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir.  He never even asked us about fruit or vegetables & for a change we never had any.
It was a bright sunny day, and at Helena we took the bypass to miss the mountain pass through deer park or elk park, whatever it is that goes to Butte.  Our bypass took us throught Townsend down to Dillion where we rejoined the I-15.  By that time I was tired of driving, so Marg drove through the Monida pass to Idaho Falls, where we stayed at the Snake River rv park, again.  It was too late to make dinner & we have no fruit or vegetables, so we went to a local eatery called Jakers.  It was very good, will have to go there again.
