A photo journey form Idaho to Moissoui



      After crossing into Idaho we stopped at the visitors welcome center.. The lady at the booth tells us of a great state park just off the interstate. So we set our sites on the town of  Glenn's Falls ID. . Another neat small town with  a western feel. Would have like to spend some time there, but. There were also two little museums we wanted to see, especially the potato museum. But..........       We stop  at Three Rivers State Park, but only  for the night. These are a couple of be back areas to revisit. Oh no! what is that in the air? Haze, mist, no it's smoke. I thought we left that behind. Yes here in Idaho there are also some forest fires, at least none to close.


Acres and acres of solar panels


Take your pick





Oh no another mural



The Snake River



A neat old town with a western feel


















Our site

Very nice well kept park





Is that smoke? Yes it is, but far away.




Back on the highway, many many covered up bales of hay






After leaving Idaho we cross into the state of Utah before connecting with I 80 going into the state of Wyoming to Nebraska.   






We go through Rattlesnake Pass.






Once we cross into Wyoming It is almost 400 miles before we get into Nebraska. We encountered many long hills. Some seem never ending. There is much dry patched looking landscape with little or no green along this stretch of highway.


We stop just over the hill in Philips RV Park in Everton WY, sorry no photo's.






Miles of snow fence


A very long train, all the way out of the photo

Going in both directions.

We cross the Continental Divide

Must be a good buffet

Along I 80,the highest point of the road. This is just off the old road of  route 30, The Lincoln Highway. This statue sits at the rest stop at mile marker 328. This is were we spend the night. Not a lot of RV Parks along this stretch of I 80.




We are joined by a few others.


Into Nebraska

One of many onion trucks that passed us. I feel I am being stalked (read the previous blog post).
.

Sunflowers

Sidney NB the world headquarters. The store is not as big as some of the other Cabela's we visited.

O NO

I'M NOT HAPPY

When is the meter going to run out, or I hope you run out of quarters










A Chevy to the rescue


A really neat stop, to much road memorability to photo





Route 6

Never saw one of these. Home made ?

Old Gas pump tops





Still going, like that bunny

At the Sac-Fox casino. 20 back in sites with electric, $10.  night. We each received $40. in free slot play. Super Philly steak sandwich for $5. plus free drinks. What a great stop. We pulled in across sites so we didn't have to unhook. Not busy, only 4 other sites were being used.



Another small town USA main street, great getting off the interstate









Another main street

The story these old houses and barns could tell. Linda has so many pictures of old barns we could start a file







Yet another main street



Looks like a tropical mural, in Kanas?







This store caught our curiosity so we found a parking space. This town was on a detour. A very narrow secondary route, but look what we found.








Dose this count as a mural?



We arrive in Branson.

One more leg to Florida, with several stops

  1. As I was reading this post and looking at the pictures I thought that we must have been on almost the same route as you guys as we traveled east to Pennsylvania then I spotted our RV in the Lincoln Highway rest area. We almost got to meet up! Too bad neither of us was aware that the other was there. I hope that all is going good with your house and property repairs.

    1. OMG. just like the Barry Mailow song, two ships passing in the night, although I think that's more of a love song. Can't think of another traveling song. I do believe that is you directly across from us, If only we know.
