Once we got to Pendleton the first thing, we did was find something to
eat. I ordered a huge burger and Matthew got garlic wings. We then played some
cards for awhile before calling it a night.
For some reason I couldn’t sleep.
I don’t know if it as the excitement of finally being on the trip or
drinking caffeine way too late but regardless I didn’t fall asleep until after
2:00am. Unfortunately, shortly after
3:00am we were woken up by a truck that decided to park next to us and leave
their engine running and watch a movie at full volume. After trying to fall back asleep we decided
to get up and start driving again.
Our first stop was to get gas and coffee for Matthew. It was fun to watch the moon set and the sun rise. A couple hours later we stopped for breakfast
at a place that Matthew had eaten at back when he drove as a truck driver. I ordered yummy crepes and Matthew had steak
and eggs. We then decided to find a rest
stop and take a nap before heading into Idaho.
Unfortunately, while we were sleeping someone decided to steal the cover
for our propane tanks. It saddens me how
sinful mankind has become that they have no value for other people’s
property.
Since our plans had changed last minute, I found a place I wanted to
visit in the Boise National Forest called Idaho City… but we didn’t have a
campground to stay at last minute. We
tried to find a place but didn’t want to go to far without any guarantees, so
we decided to just visit Idaho City and head back out of the forest and find
some where to stay. We were both pretty
tired to we took a nap at another rest stop and then I called around and was
finally able to find a spot at a campground outside Twin Falls that had an open
spot for the night.
I loved every sunset along the way...
On Saturday morning, we headed over to Anderson Camp to unhook the truck
and then tour Twin Falls before it was too hot.
When we planned the trip, we didn’t know we would be coming in the
middle of a heat wave. So, we tried to
do as much as we could in the morning and then rest during the heat of the day.
Some of the highlights of twin falls were seeing Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls in
the distance, the jump site of Evel Knievel, and Perrine Memorial Bridge. I would even say that the dinner that we had
at Janitzio Mexican Restaurant was a highlight because the food was absolutely
delicious.
