Days 7-8 (Oct 7-8)
We spent most of the day exploring the area around Twin Falls, ID
We started with a visit to Shoshone Falls. Because of the time of year and lack of rain, the falls didn't have a lot of water.
From there we headed to Twin Falls where we saw the Perrine Memorial Bridge,
Saw Evel Knievel memorabilia near the Evel Knievel jump site (across the Snake River)
Picture taken from bridge - left bank is where he landed and right bank is where he jumped from.
We also stopped to explore the Twin Falls
And happened to find this park that was FULL of cats!
We returned to Hagerman and visited Thousand Springs State Park and the downtown area.
Before dinner, we headed back to the hot springs. And then eventually returned to the motel for our final night in ID.
The next morning, we started our drive home. We stopped at the Hagerman Fossil Beds to see the remnants of the Oregon Trail.
Luckily we didn't die of dysentery
As we entered Nevada, we had a bit of rain and even saw some snow falling in the distance.
Our initial plan was to stop outside of Las Vegas or in Laughlin NV for the night, but we had fewer stops along the way (because of the weather) and decided to drive all the way home.
