The conspiracy runs deep!
Well, apparently they've taken it pretty far.
So, for now, let's just assume we're in Idaho Falls, "Idaho" at the Snake River RV Park.
It was a georgeous drive in from Jackson. We passed fields of perfectly green...hay? Alfalfa? But spotted with bright yellow fields of...mustard, we think?
Also at the recommendation of a neighbor in Yellowstone we stopped at the "world famous" Rainey Creek Square Ice Cream (which is in the back of a gas station convience store)
Have to day, even apart from the novel shape, it was pretty darn good ice cream. And they put an oversized malt ball at the bottom of every cone.
For those wondering:
Yes...special scoop.
The campground here is fantastic. We're back to reality it seems - full hookups for the trailer (first time in 8 nights) - pool, playground, shade, wi-fi and WARM WEATHER! (Amazing what 2000+ feet of elevation drop will do for you)
What else can you ask for?
We'll likely be here 3 nights as we wait for Salt Lake City to cool down a bit. Tomorrow is exploration of downtown Idaho Falls, "Idaho". Apparently there is a Riverwalk? And we'll see what else pops up.
The yellow fields are probably canola. They're all over Montana, too!
ReplyDeleteThat would make sense, but dang if Google doesn't show rapeseed (used to make the much more benign sounding canola oil (there's a good wiki article on why it's called canola in the US/Canada and rapeseed oil in other countries, btw)) and mustard plants looking A LOT alike...
DeleteHmmm...thanks for the info!
