Hagerman, Id

We arrived at the campground about 3:30 yesterday. It is nice here, not far from the freeway, but a berm is between us and the freeway so no noise. We are in the shade and although the temps are in the 90's, there isn't too much humidity. We seem to be in the desert. There is water flowing into small pond where the water for the sprinkler system comes from. They have been watering behind the office for over 6 hours and no standing water.
The grass is green and pretty in all of the common areas, whereas outside of the park the areas are brown with tumbleweeds everywhere.

Today we went on the 1000 spring byway. A nice drive, and picturesque.
We stopped at the visitor center and saw a short film about the area and a replica of the 'Hagerman Horse'. It is not really a horse but an extinct version of the Zebra.
We then went to the Hagerman Fossil Bed, where the "horse was found. It is a National Park, but no fee area. We didn't see any fossils in the park, but we were impressed with the vistas of the Snake River.
Also parts of the Oregon Trail goes through the park. The wagon ruts are still there in some places.
We drove on to Twin Falls with a stop in Buhle.We needed fuel and it was attached to a farmers supply store. They have everything a farmer or rancher could need.
I found a good pair of boots there at a good price. Since it is my B'day Brenda bought them for me.

We haven't figured out what we are doing tomorrow, but there is quite a bit to see here.


Ta ta for now
