Nevada to Idaho, April 20

  We got up bright and early and were on the road at 6:30 this morning, leaving Winnemucca.

Early morning in Winnemucca

   We drove  480 miles, a long haul for us, but the speed limit on the interstates is 80 mph so that does make the journey quicker and the roads were pretty empty for the most part. We took a smaller road, Route 93 from Wells, Nevada up to Twin Falls, Idaho for about 120 miles where we picked up the interstates again.
    The scenery through Nevada was much greener than we have ever seen it. Big valleys like the Pumpernickel Valley. It was a gorgeous day, although we did not get a good photo, unfortunately. We did see antelope, but not as many as we remember having seen in the past.
   We are staying in a pretty little city, Idaho Falls, evidently voted one of the 100 most livable small cities in the U.S.A. And, it does have a pretty downtown greenway with the Snake River. (But, politically, it is way too conservative for us.)
      We are at a very nice Comfort Inn with a hot tub which was great for our aching bodies. (Age and travel!) We ate at a Thai restaurant and walked along the Snake River.
