Land of the Spuds

We reached potato land- Idaho. From Utah we drove through Jackson Hole, Wyoming to get to Idaho. Jackson Hole is a pretty neat cowboy town. We tried to go to the Snake River Brewery here, but guess what it was closed, for a staff party! So we decided to saddle up at a bar to grab a drink...literally. They had saddles as bar stools, it was pretty cool. The bar was called Million Dollar Cowboy. We were able to get a beer from the Snake River Brewery so it kind of all worked out.

 

We walked around town a little more and then we headed to our over night spot in Driggs, ID. We rented a little cottage in Driggs, which was perfect for a little recharge for the night. We rented it from an awesome couple who owned the cottage in their back yard, along with their glass blowing studio. We picked Driggs because it is only about an hour and a half from Yellowstone National Park. Here are some pictures of the cottage, it was perfect!

 

Yesterday marked one week since we have been on the road. We are thinking it will be 7 more days until we land in L.A. At the start of the trip we started listening to an audiobook, Travels with Charley: In Search of America by John Steinbeck. It is a travelogue about Steinbeck's trip around the country with his poodle Charley in his camper truck. It was a sad day today because we finished it, we didn't want it to end! It was fascinating to listen to Steinbeck's stories of his travels knowing that we were going to be traveling through the same places. It is a great book and worth a read, or a listen across the country!

Stay tuned for Yellowstone!
