Today was a 5 hour drive from Salt Lake City to Jackson, WY, via Idaho. We stopped in Idaho Falls to tour their Potato Museum which features the world’s largest potato (not a real potato). It cost $2.50 to get in and they give you a box of home fries when you leave. What a bargain!
We finally caught up with fall as we drove along the Snake River in eastern Idaho. For me, that was the most colorful part of the trip so far. The aspen had turned a bright yellow which complemented the golden wheat fields, brown dirt of the potato fields, and the dark green pine trees on the mountains. Very, very beautiful.
To top the night, we went on the Bar T-5 covered wagon ride in Jackson (see picture). The ride includes lots of cowboys, an attack by Indians, dinner and a cowboy band after dinner. I know it sounds pretty hokey, but it was a lot of fun and the baked beans were unbeatable. Must be cooking them outdoors that makes them so good.
