Last week Susan and I flew to Oregon to bring my truck back. We spent some time going through and getting rid of some stuff, and put the rest in storage. After that we rented a U-Haul trailer and, loaded up, headed back to Florida, my 20th time driving across the U.S.
Wednesday we drove from Bend into Idaho, stopping for the night in Twin Falls. Thursday, instead of our usual route, we turned east onto I-86 and eventually onto Highway 30. When we got to Montpelier, Idaho, we stopped at the National Oregon/California Trail Center.
It was an interesting museum, with much of the presentation done by live re-entactors. We probably would have preferred being able to just read or listen or watch short media and therefore go through a bit faster, but there are probably a lot of people who would enjoy this type of experience, especially if they weren't familiar with the subject.
We then crossed into Wyoming and stopped at the Fossil Butte National Monument. It had a fairly nice visitor center with some nice displays, but it's pretty small. I don't think it took more than an hour to see everything there, and it was quite a way off the road to get to the visitor center. Thursday night we stayed in Rock Springs Wyoming.
