The only thing mildly interesting – or aggravating in this case – today was some sort of accident on I-15 just about 20 miles into Idaho. The accident happened on the southbound side of the highway – we never did see it – about 5 miles ahead of us. For some reason – we heard that a propane truck was involved – they shut off both sides of the highway and routed traffic off the highway behind us after we had already passed the last available exit. We were stuck in a line about 2-3 miles long for about 30 minutes when people started turning around and heading back to that exit. The “rumor” was that it would be a couple of hours before they would let us by. Eventually, we turned around too – exciting driving down the wrong side of the interstate in broad daylight. All in all, it cost us about an hour – not bad, at least we were not involved.
We had planned to spend the night in Idaho Falls but it turns out that the camp ground was right next to the highway and promised to be loud all night. We decided to spend the night in a nearby Wal-Mart that’s a little farther from the highway and the train tracks – it will be loud too be at least it is free. We are only a couple of blocks from the falls so decided to take a look. More pictures are provided for your viewing pleasure at the bottom of this post – enjoy.
