18 September 2013 To Caldwell, Idaho

Today was an easy 190-mile drive across southern Idaho from Declo to Caldwell. However, we did have a strong headwind most of the way--sure to cut down on the gas mileage. Before we left our campground at Declo this morning Patrice had to get photos of some frisky colts in an adjacent field. There were seven mares in the field and each had a colt. They put on a show for us last night and again this morning.

Our campground last night was next to the Snake River and we crossed it again several times along I-84. One of the spectacular crossings was near Twin Falls at the southern end of the extensive lava fields in Idaho. Here we could see massive lava cliffs adjacent to the Snake River and its tributaries.

We arrived at Country Corner RV Park for the night. This little park is north of Caldwell and conveniently located just off of I-84. The sites are neat and there is green grass by each site (Carlos says Hooray!). After checking in the park owner offered us the opportunity to pick some fresh sweet corn and tomatoes from his large gardens. We did just that, and had fresh veggies and soup with wine for dinner.

Tomorrow we stay on I-84 and cross over Cabbage Mountain Pass on our way to Pendleton, Oregon, our next campground.
