West Yellowstone
Wow have we had a great day! We started in Idaho Falls this morning. Unfortunately it was raining plenty. We ate breakfast and then loaded up the car and headed for West Yellowstone. It was a little over one hundred miles, and mostly the road was good, but the rain made it harder to drive…

?Tomorrow?
Oh, I forgot to mention that the rain has caught up to us once again! We were supposed to camp in Yellowstone tomorrow, but it’s going to be in the low 40s and raining most of tomorrow. So we got another hotel room! If it was up to us this country would never have been…

Idaho Falls
We drove from Caldwell, ID to Idaho Falls today. It was about 280 miles! That’s way farther than we wanted to drive. Most of it was through desert. I hadn’t realized how much desert there is in the US. It’s not as dry as Nevada desert. There are plenty of ranches and some farms that…

Boise
Today we changed directions. We have been following the Transamerica Bicycle Trail, which is the trail we would have taken if we were riding our bikes. But since we are now planning to visit as many national parks and bicycle trails as we can, we don’t need to go north any more. So we are…

Riggins day 2
It was nice waking up this morning in a comfortable bed! Plus when we got ourselves out of bed we went to the main room for breakfast! It was great! Riggins is a tiny little town positioned in a very narrow valley between very steep mountains. And in that valley is a river that takes…

Lost Valley Reservoir
We are sitting in a campsite near Lost Valley Reservoir. We are the only ones here right now. There is a camp host, but we haven’t seen them. It’s very secluded, we drove three miles on a forest service road to get to this camp. I like the idea of getting deep into the wilderness,…

Weiser, Idaho
This morning we were going to breakfast when we saw this nest! Goggle Lens said they were baby morning doves! We drove a little over an hour to Weiser, Idaho. Here we are crossing the state line. Weiser is a really small town, but also the beginning of Idaho’s longest Rails to Trails trail. All…

Baker City
This is our last stop in Oregon! We have been finding bicycle paths we can ride on, and are changing our original plans to go to them, and also we are going to try and visit more places we can go hiking, possibly state and national parks. Today we drove from John Day which was…

Dayville/John Day
So it turns out that John Day didn’t find any fossils. He may not have even known what a fossil was! He lived in the early 1800s. He was a trapper and hunter. His name is on a river, a valley, two towns, and the national monument dedicated to the fossil beds. He and Ramsey…
