Before leaving Butte, we catered to the Woman’s national
trail fixation one more time. While Our Lady of the Rockies rests on the
Continental Divide, we could not locate the Continental Divide Trail when we
visited. So, we googled and found where the CDT crossed US Highway 2, and made
a special trip. While it was only three rugged miles, it still gave the Woman a
fix for a bit.
I don’t know what made me look, but the Peter Wolf Toth
SWhispering Giant in Idaho happened to be in Idaho Falls, about half an hour from
where we spent the night. So, I plugged what I knew about its location into
Brenda, and lo and behold, she took us right there! We hope to capture another
couple before we get back to Vegas.
The Eclipse craze is everywhere. Even on Friday out in the
boonies of Idaho, there are highway signs warning folk about expecting traffic
on Monday, and maybe a few days before and after.
Since our friends Ron and Teresa have been diligently
planning this for two years, we don’t have to succumb to all the price gouging
that seems to be accompanying the craze. Not only will it cost you $20 just to
park in this hay field on Monday, but if you want a “Moon Sofa” (a bale of hay
to sit on), that will be another $20 – sheesh!
Talk to you soon!
