Caldwell, Idaho to Twin Falls, Idaho 160 miles

Monday, the 29th, found us on Interstate 84, heading east in a driving rain storm. So much for spending all day Sunday washing the motorhome and car! There was so much grit and grime on the car after our arrival in Twin Falls that I couldn't roll down the windows for fear of scratching. Fortunately, we found highly rated Tony's 2T car wash and auto repair. For $9 they did a prewash routine, ran us through a drive through wash machine, and did a hand dry. Nice job!

We are staying two nights in Twin Falls, at the 93 RV Park, so named because it's about 8 miles south of town on US Highway 93. We passed by here last year on the way to California and thought we should stop sometime and find the Twin Falls. Site 41 is a bit out of level, but perfectly adequate for a short stay.

We arrived early in the afternoon, so decided to go visit the Falls about 4 pm. The skies were still very stormy, and it was sprinkling rain, but the Falls were spectacular!

Named Shoshone Falls and lying in a state park northeast of town, the falls were a major impediment to river travel back in the day. Today the area nickname is "The Niagara of the West".

Downstream from the falls, the Snake River moves placidly through a steep canyon.

Thousands of swallows make their nests in the craggy sides of the canyon, and flew about as if they were on a mission. Or, they were just happy to be alive! Several are just visible in the foreground:

So, Tuesday morning we ran into town to do a bit of shopping. Donna is preparing dinner for friends from Texas that are spending the evening at the same park. Just a bit of socializing!

Storm clouds have kept us inside most of the day.

Tomorrow it's off again!
