March 24th

On the road again, up early and on the highway by 8:oo AM. It was already shaping up to be a nice day in St G, but --the time has come the walrus said... [but I digress]. So we were back on the I-15 burning up our share of petrol. Made good miles, but with the elevation increasing and our direction of travel being north, it got cooler as we trod on. In the summits there was snow everywhere. Marg held fast with the shorts, but long pants for me, first time in a long time. Went thru the dreaded Salt Lake City, generally disliked by every rv'er you talk to. After Salt Lake City Marg drove the rig thru the balance of Utah & into Idaho. In fact she drove it right into Idaho Falls & the rv park. We are at the Snake River rv park, where we have stayed in the past. As we drove down thru the valleys it was clear and sunny. In fact lots of farmers working their fields [many pulling seed drills], probably planting the famous Idaho potatoes. Temps in Idaho Falls we in the low 50's, like a nice spring day at home. On the road again tomorrow, hope to make the border at Sweetgrass in the late afternoon & ultimately Lethbridge. That will be over 500 miles, but that should be do-able [as long as we aren't held up at duty free or the border crossing too long]. Oh yeh - something about this Idaho strikes me as odd; you know how they hoe potatoes & Idaho is reknown for potatoes - Coincidence - I don't think so!
