Twin Falls ID

Once again, we left at 7:15 AM for our 393 mile drive to Twin Falls, ID. It would be the longest travel day that we had scheduled out of the four that we will be on the road to WA. It was very cloudy when we started out, and it didn't begin to clear until about halfway (Wells, NV) on our scheduled trip. In fact, it spit and drizzled almost the entire trip until we reached the Idaho Border. This is what we drove through most of the way:


The route we took almost the entire day was US 93 which goes straight north through Nevada into Idaho. We did see some beautiful snow covered mountains on the way:



And, I can tell you that it is nice to be away from the 100 degree temperatures in the Phoenix area.

We averaged 9.3 mpg for the day - not too great, but still better than we ever did with the old truck - especially considering all the passes and mountains we drove through.

It was shortly after 3 PM when we pulled into our campground near Twin Falls - the Twin Falls 93 RV Park. It is a nice park and we got settled in short order:


We also had a couple lunatics along the way yesterday that almost paid the price for passing us illegally or in tight places where oncoming traffic almost wiped them out - and us. We don't know what is happening with today's drivers, but the ones we have seen over the last couple days could be classified as dare-devils.

Today we have Pendleton, OR as our target destination. It will be about 355 miles and we will try to keep the same schedule as we have so far by arriving around 3 PM this afternoon...
