Day 18


The road west went from Rock Springs, WY through Utah and into Idaho. Yes, it was a long day...about 450 miles. Enroute we saw landscapes that looked almost like the moon, snow fences, Little America (and no we didn't stop for the 50cent ice cream cones), windmills, sheep, horsescows, feed lots and antelope. We made one needed stop in Echo, UT for gas and there was no longer a gas station there. We almost thought we were on Route 66 again! Bob had to use his 5-gallon can and Gary had to use the outhouse! It seems that we were easily entertained today.

We made one stop at Ft. Bridger, WY to see the fort that was named after Jim Bridger. For those of you who don't know, Gary & Kathy's littlest grandson is named after Jim Bridger, so it was interesting, but very cold! Our outside tour was shortened a bit due to the weather.

We stopped for lunch in Brigham City, Utah and are staying tonight in Mountain Home, Idaho. It seems we are only about 8 hours from home. Our group is all ready to get home, but it is a good kind of ready to be home. It has been a very special trip for all of us. And no mechanical problems today!

Adios from Mountain Home Idao

  1. We're ready to have you home too ... you have all been missed! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures and see lots more pictures! Does this mean Kathy and Joan will be at Bible study on Wednesday???
