    Bakers Hole Day 2

    August 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    After I posted yesterday, it rained on and off all evening and much of the night. This morning, I tried to charge batteries again with solar panels with limited success.

    We made a trip over into Idaho about 50 miles to Mesa Falls, where the Snake River flows over some volcanic formations, two beautiful falls. There is a Visitor's Center at the Upper Falls. Phil and I have considered volunteering here in the future, so we stopped in to chat with the Volunteer on duty. That sounds like a pretty easy gig.

    We headed back into town and had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. There are many Asian restaurants here, probably due to the large number of Asian tourists. We made a trip to the grocery store for cheese and ham sandwich stuff and some ice.

    We're back at the campground waiting to see I it will rain again, or just blow over. Tomorrow, we move to Lewis Lake on Yellowstone for 3 nights.    Read more
