On The Road To Idaho

How many people have a sewer dump on their street?  Well, my sister does!  It was time to leave them and head over the pass to Idaho and we needed to dump our holding tank.  Kirby just backed the rig down the road a bit and there was a sewer plug!  Can't beat that!

And then it was over the hill.  We decided to take the southern route towards Idaho Falls instead of going over Teton Pass.  Teton Pass is very, very steep but about an hour closer to our destination.  We decided that ease of travel was worth the hour since we weren't going very far.  We had traveled this route before, most recently last summer, and new it would be easy and beautiful with a lot of variety. 
We crossed the Snake River.  This river seems to be forever in our lives.   I am beginning to feel a personal bonding with it. (This looks like an old railroad crossing.)

I love these golden fields!
Best Rest Area ever!  View of the Snake River from the rest area on Highway 26.
Then we cut through on some country roads which is always more fun than highways and interstates.
And this is Henry's Lake State Park where we will be staying for the next few days. There are good hiking trails, we can ride our bikes and there are nearby scenic drives.

I LOVE your RV'g style! That's how we want to 'camp' once we get out there on a more regular basis. Loved your photos of Idaho and Montana - so much so that we're planning a trip for August, 2015, to Henry Lake. We've been taking short trips whenever we can. Our first was to Icicle RV Park outside of Leavenworth, WA. I think you'd like it there. Thanks for your posts! Found you through HitchHitch. Bev and Joe - Battle Ground, WA.
