383 total miles today!
On the road in Idaho (83 miles east of Boise):
The Snake River entering Twin Falls, ID
The Falls at Shoshone Falls Park were not really flowing that much:
Certainly not as much as when Thomas Moran painted them:
Shoshone Falls on the Snake River, 1900 - (Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, OK)
Shoshone Falls, Snake River, Idaho, ca. 1875 - (Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA)
Downstream is pretty:
as is the area above the Falls:
FUN driving these western roads! It was great driving up over the mountains into Wyoming. Thank You God for these wonderful adventures!
