STE1 Hop 3<\/p><\/div>\n

200 miles, almost totally on I-84. Cumulative tow miles: 634. Truck miles: 224. Cumulative truck miles: 674.<\/p>\n

Another easy navigation hop: get on I-84 east, drive about 200 miles, get off. There was a bit of construction, but the delays were minimal. Weather was good, scenery was gorgeous. A very pleasant hop. For me, anyway.<\/p>\n

For Jett the hop was pure misery. She was not feeling well and it was all she could do to keep from vomiting while I drove. We got to Jerome (just a few miles from Twin Falls) and she fell into bed. Fortunately, after a couple of hours of sleep she felt better. In fact, she felt so well that she sent me out to get some Italian food for dinner. On the way I took a shot of an awesome sunset.<\/p>\n

The gorge cut by the Snake River just north of Twin Falls is also pretty impressive. I don’t think my photos adequately captured its grandeur due to the twilight lighting, but if you ever get to Twin Falls definitely check it out.<\/p>\n

We stayed two nights in Huntington OR at the Catfish Junction RV Park<\/a>. When we arrived my first impression was that we were stuck in the middle of nowhere and was regretting booking two nights. But the setting, near a bend in the Snake River, is incredibly beautiful, with ever-changing cloud patterns. I think it is arguably the most beautiful place we have ever been. I got dozens of great photos, only a few of which are included here.<\/p>\n

I had to travel to Weiser ID to refuel. I did this on Sunday around noon and found a city more tightly shut down than any I have seen in decades. Not a soul on the streets and not a single establishment open for business – not the sports bar where I was planning on watching the Patriots\/Panthers game and not the gas station where I was planning on getting fuel. Fortunately the pumps at the gas station were operational so I was able to accomplish that goal. And I found a little bar over the river in Oregon where I could catch highlights of the game on the NFL Channel. But I have to say that Weiser was downright spooky.<\/p>\n

Oh – the Patriots lost. That is twice now that I have sought out a bar to watch the game and twice that they have lost. I don’t think I will try to watch them in a bar again.<\/p>\n
