Day 46—Wed.--7/29: Idaho Falls, ID: Long drive from Whitefish, MT to Idaho Falls, southern Idaho

Andrea and I got up by 7 am and ate breakfast and packed up the motorhome.  I woke up Sarah so she could see all the animals one last time at this campground.  When we were walking to the petting area, there were 2 large llamas about 10 feet away from us eating the bushes next to other people’s motorhomes.  They were awesome.  We enjoyed watching them for about 5 minutes.  Then we ate breakfast and got Sarah’s and Ryan’s breakfast to go, while Sarah went to pet the chickens, donkeys, and mini horses.   We went back to the RV, woke up Ryan, picked up Sarah and then we started our long drive south around 9:20 am.  We finally saw a moose on this trip—standing by the side of the highway.  She was pretty.  We arrived in Idaho Falls, Idaho around 6:20 pm (ouch—nine hours, 440 mile in the motorhome driving day!).  We ate dinner and rode our bikes around the Snake River and the Idaho Falls.  The waterfalls used to be natural over rocks but now they are part of a hydroelectric plant that supplies electricity to the city.  There’s a park area there that was really pretty.   The sun was setting and the water was calm (except for the falls) so the reflections were gorgeous.  So was the near full moon.  Sarah found a beaver or muskrat swimming in the river.   We watched ducks swim and muskrat/beaver swim and the water falls.
