Arco, Idaho

Hello from potato country! We crossed into Idaho two days ago after a night in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. As of right now, we are 240 miles from the Oregon border! Today we are going to be riding through Craters of the Moon National Park, so that will be a cool sight indeed. We spent the night at our first KOA where we scored a killer deal on a little cabin, showers and laundry. The owner of the Kampground is a retired school teacher from Michigan, and was so into our ride that he gave us a touring cyclist discount. Good guy, with plenty of historical information for us about Idaho and it's atomic energy past. The weather has been absolutely beautiful for riding during the day, so we have almost no complaints there. On our way out of Wyoming we were fortunate enough to pass through the Grand Teton National Park, which in my opinion are the most majestic mountain's i have ever seen. It is almost overwhelming to see such magnificent landscapes and know that you have pedaled yourself from your driveway to their foothills. I have about one million pictures for everyone to check out, but those will have to wait till the next town library, we are almost ready to hit the road this morning!
