Welcome to Idaho!...(Updated)

After what I will always remember as The Longest Day (I've flown halfway around the world in less time), I'm settled here in Twin Falls.

There are some scenic attractions, such as the heavily-traveled Perrine Bridge: the bridge is enormous for its type, but because there is no superstructure above it, it's almost like another part of the road.


I hope to film the base jumpers there over the weekend--if the weather holds out.

Then there is Perrine Coulee Falls, tucked away on a side road near the bridge:



The star of the show is Shoshone Falls, which they have been promising us will have 'twice as much water flowing in a week or two' when an upstream reservoir and dam releases it. Of course, they've already been promising us that for three weeks...

Thanks, guys! A nice way to treat visitors who have come so far.

Still, it is a beautiful spot. A one-trick pony, of course, but a beautiful place to relax and recover from driving forever. Best of all, there are few tourist visitors for the size of the area. There are several overlooks, and at most of them I was alone.

 


 

After a brilliant clear sky yesterday, it looks cloudy today. Glad I got some work done yesterday, despite the cost to the mind and body.

The guardian angels have their work cut out for them...
