Tuesday June 3rd, 2008 The previous few days were really nice, bright and sunny but today it was beginning to stay overcast most of the time. It was a chilly morning when we got an early start from the Pocatello KOA and headed North toward Yellowstone. It was pretty obvious that we had gone a long way north since the temperatures were quite a bit lower. North of Pocatello Passing through Idaho Falls we kept our eye out for a truck stop that should have been on our left. We stopped there in 2004 and decided it warranted another stop this year. Back then we found the best tasting and best selection of pies we had ever seen. Sadly we could not find it or simply missed it on the road out of Idaho Falls. We spotted a big carved Indian head just on the outskirts of Idaho Falls and then the long flat fields of potato farms started showing up. It is hard to believe how many mile of fields we saw with the huge mounds of "dirt with doors" that we were sure were potato storage. We have similar much smaller mounds at home that we call the potato cellar, or just "the storm cellar" and lots of people call them "fraidy holes". Tornados you know. It wasn't long until we got our first look at the mountains Hell's Half Acre north of Pocatello |
