GET DOWN WITH THE BREHMS, 15 AUGUST 2010

GREETINGS FROM POTATOVILLE, USA

Another wonderful adventure! We drove from Butte, Montana to Eden (as in the garden of......), Idaho. The drive was pleasant, and the campground very nice. We are about 15-20 miles North of Twin Falls, so everything we need is close by, even a Costco. The campground, in fact, most of the rural area is surrounded by potato, corn, and onion fields. We have seen the falls, a beautiful herd of elk, the countryside, and downtown. There is an Applebee's in Twin Falls, and it is a fatal sin to drive by an Applebee's without stopping to buy Diane lunch. I did good! might get lucky....

Next week we will head West again with Burns, OR. in our sights. From there to Bend, and Sunriver OR. and on to Junction City, near Eugene, for some home entertainment upgrades. We have an appointment for 9/7.

Hope you are all doing great, and having as much fun as we are. We are looking forward to our next get together. Love and God Bless.............



Ray, Diane, and our keepers.................

SHOSHONE FALLS

Ain't we just a couple of knockouts? Behind us are the stunning Shoshone Falls at Twin Falls, Idaho.

ELK BURGERS ON THE HOOF

There we were, just meandering our way down the Snake River gorge, when all of a sudden, I glanced up on the very edge of the gorges cliff. There were at least a dozen absolutely beautiful and huge elk looking down on us. They stayed there all the time we were down at the falls.

ELK, ELK, AND MORE ELK

Another incredible view. They just stand on the very edge and look down at the falls.

SHOSHONE FALLS

Note the rainbow at the bottom. Shoshone Falls is called the Niagara Falls of the West. It falls 212' which is 50' higher than Niagara Falls.

GODESS OF THE SHOSHONE FALLS

These are the beautiful Shoshone falls at Twin Falls Idaho. upstream (east) of the falls, is a dam used in hydroelectric generation. Usable energy through natures beauty! I made that up myself...

PERRINE BRIDGE

The I.B. Perrine bridge was built in 1976. It is 1500' long, and 486' above the Snake River. It is used year round for base jumping: parachutes and bungees.

SNAKE RIVER GORGE

This picture is taken from the "Falls" area, looking west toward the Evel Knievel rocket bike jump site. It's about a mile and a half from where we are standing. Can you believe that was 36 years ago??
