SHOSHONE FALLS, TWIN FALLS IDAHO


STRUCTURAL ENGINEER INSPECTS DAM

The Shoshone Falls are visible behind Diane. She did a cursory inspection of the railing, so we went on our way.

MINI FALLS NEXT TO SHOSHONE FALLS


As you drive down the bluffs to Shoshone Fall, there are these little mini-falls springing out of the cliffs in many places.
Well guess I'll go out and fold up my fresh water hoses etc. before the freeze sets in. Hope you are all doing great, and had a wonderful summer. Look forward to seeing you soon, in warmer weather. Adios for now, and God Bless...

SNAKE RIVER AT TWIN FALLS, ID.

While we were camped at Twin Falls, ID. we took a day trip to the Shoshone Falls, and the bridge where they do the bungee jumping. About 5 miles upriver, is the place where Evil Knievel attempted to jump the canyon in his jet bike. They built a shopping mall there now, and the jump site is behind the Verizon Store.

OUR NEW MONACO FLOOR

Ta Da! the new floor. It's an Italian marble style floor called "Romano 994". We love it. So easy to keep clean, and makes the coach look so much bigger on the inside. I guess we will pass on going into Sheridan today due to the weather. Too bad because it is such a neat cowboy town. Home of King Ropes, and all sort of tack shops. Everything is geared to the cattle and cowboy industry.

GUTTED FLOOR

What a mess! But they did all the destruction in one day, and 2 1/2 days to do all the upgrade work.
Our trip has been fantastic so far. We spent 9 weeks in Oregon. After the new floor was installed, we left Junction City on 9/28, and drove to Burns, OR. Next day, we drove to Twin Falls, Idaho, and stayed there 2 nights, then up through the West side of Yellowstone, to Bozeman, MT. for 1 night, and on to Sheridan, WY, where we are now. We will leave in the morning for Rapid City, SD. Hopefully, we will depart there on 10/10, headed South and West.

CABECTOMY

Greetings to all who visit our site. We are presently sitting in a campground in Sheridan, WY. the wind is blowing at 35mph and snowing. Crazy, we arrived yesterday in shorts and sandals in 80 degree temps.
This is a picture of John Slaughter, great grandson of "Texas John Slaughter" who established the legendary Slaughter Ranch just below Douglas, AZ. John is striping out all the upholstery and wiring that might interfere with the installation of the new floor.
