Day 20

Monday, Sep 29

Long drive today, we crossed Idaho from Oregon on I84 and I86 and are now in Jackson, Wyoming.    Too far in one day with the trailer.

Was a very gray day with low clouds and occasional rain.   There's probably some nice scenery but we missed most of it.

Followed the Snake River from the Oregon/Idaho border all the way to our campsite in Wyoming.

There was a nice rainbow once, when the sun popped through.

The Snake River becomes exceptionally beautiful as it hooks in a huge U where it enters Wyoming.   It is hemmed in by mountains and reminds us of rivers in the Alps like the Isar or the Inn.    The little town of Alpine, WY, tries to look like Austria so its a nice effect.

The Snake River is dammed and a fairly large lake exists a little below Jackson, WY.

Arrived after dark, so we are fairly tired.  Even Stella just wants get get on her bed and snooze!

Tomorrow, the Tetons and Yellowstone.

Linda Adds:  It was a lovely drive across Idaho....actually saw harvested potatoes...despite a smattering of rain.  Of course, the real beauty is in the Tetons.  Snake River stands up to it's name as it meanders across Idaho and into Wyoming.  The temperatures have dropped and it is nice to have heat in the trailer tonight.
