Short Trip to Idaho

We had originally planned to spend the day yesterday at home getting some things organized for next week. After seeing how nice the day was turning out, we decided to take one last trip into Victor, ID, to cash in some scratch lottery tickets that we have been holding. The trip meant one last drive over the Teton Pass which is, according to Josie, the second worst pass in the country. I think there are several others tied for first.

The drive was very good and we saw more of the Fall colors, although not as much as the day before. We drove around Victor for a short time and came across these young does in a field:

We then drove up the road about 5 more miles to Driggs and spent a short time there before heading home. As we reached the top of the Teton Pass coming home, we pulled over to get one last shot of the Jackson Hole Valley from the top of the pass:

Back home, we settled in for the evening and I again watched Austin's high school football game on the TV feed from Naperville, IL. Austin scored 3 touchdowns and ran for 217 yards as his team went 6-0 by defeating South Elgin, 35-20. His tremendous season continues. Next week is the big showdown with Michael's alma mater, Neuqua Valley High School, who is also still undefeated.

With only today and tomorrow left, we are nearing the end of this chapter in our adventures on the road...
