The weather has finally warmed up! No need for heater this morning and the day got progressively hotter.
It’s amazing how just two days ago we were rugged up in 5 layers in sub zero temperatures feeling like I was in the middle of a London winter, to the middle of a hot summer!
Today we headed to Twin Falls in Idaho. We wanted to see the Shoshone falls which are supposed to be spectacular at the moment. But when I got Google to navigate us, there was a lot of red on the windy road with traffic jams . Of course it’s gonna be busy on a Sunday afternoon!
So instead of driving there, we parked up at the visitor centre and cycled there. It was an amazing ride along the top of the canyon, sheer drops down to the snake river. We passed the ramp where evil kinieval tried to jump over the canyon in 1974 in his rocket powered motorbike. He didn’t make it.
The views of the canyon walls and the falls were amazing without all the crowds. We also kept seeing little critters that looked like groundhogs.
It was perfect weather for a bike ride, but very warm. And a very steep uphill climb on the way back where we had to push our bikes up.
By the time we were finisher it was 5pm and time for the daily task of finding somewhere to sleep. But first a Walmart shop! $100 later we were on our way.
We probably could have parked the night at Walmart for free, but it was very busy there. So we found a little camp in town by a river for $25 including power and water and enjoyed the balmy evening. Mike cooked us a vegetable and mushroom stir fry with noodles and it was delicious!
