The kids are burning off excess energy..........

Glen and Yvonne are watching how Joe and Yvette prepare this amazing Mexican dish.

Joe holding it in.......I mean serving up enchiladas

Glen, proud of his extra strong sauce. I should have killed the flash.

..........this one succeded

The final product, and Oh so GOOD!

A picture of Idaho Falls in daylight. Notice behind the aerated portion of the falls that the entire river flows over a level concrete wall/dam. This causes the aerated portion to also be spread over about a 1/4 mile length.

Ready to go fish the Snake River

There are a lot of these eagle nest across Montana Idaho, and Colorado

If it weren't for the thick smoke, the views would have been fantastic.

I yelled out "Show me your......................smiles"

This is actually what I saw from my vantage point.

About to enter the first rapid of their float trip.

I think this gal is lost. She is way high in the national forest. She looks domestic to me.

I ordered a root bear with my meal, but they didn't have any. So I had to settle.

still a few patrons even at 2:00PM

This guy and gal in a 57 Bird drove by as I was getting ready to leave the restaurant.

The very first JC Penney store. It is borded up now. This is in the town of Kemmerer, WY

Arch dam

and it's reservoir

Tinkers version of Booker

My room at Mal and Corvettes

Yvette's children Tinker and Ringo

Now? now? can we go?

Discussing their plans for the day.

Joe made a great breakfast this morning. Yvette is just making it better.

Joe is trying to break the bead on the rear tire off my wing.

I'm modifying my Pak it Rac to make it easier on and off.

We came up with this beadbreaker that works great. I'm adding a modified one to my tool kit.

But you need a good counter weight  to keep the tire from lifting.

I've never had a valve stem failure in my life, and now I have had two on this bike alone.

Joe and Yvette's house and a broken down Wing.

I pulled up behind this guy at a light. I liked his license plate.

I rode along the east side of this lake for several miles thinking it was Flathead lake. Finally a sign says Swan Lake

A lot of this in Montana

I told him to smile, they did after I snapped the picture

A lot of cattle grazing............

..........and a lot of cattle ranches.

I saw a lot of horses, both domestic and wild

A lot of straw.........on my head and in the fields

This bug made me pull over, he hit right in the middle of my focal point.

A nice overlook just before entering Helena, MT

High on the hill she overlooks Butte, MT

A normal shot to give a perpective of how high on the hill

There are a bunch of these mine headrigs standing over the city. Most of them look like they are still ready to run today.



If you like mining, Butte would be a great place for you to visit. I wish I had more time, but still glad that I took a little detour through the city instead of just staying on the interstate.



I think the open pit has replaced all of the shaft mines

First time I've seen this on my trip.

A lot of very dry sagebrush in eastern Idaho.

The smokey sky allowed me to photograph the sun. One minute earlier and it looked really cool, but I was doing 85.

This is part of the town namesake. Idaho Falls off of the Snake river. It is dark out so I will get some better pics on my way out of town.

I thought it might be the capital building. It is kind of pathetic that I'm not sure which city is the capital of Idaho, I always thought it was Boise. That's probably wrong too! This is the LDS temple.
