SUNDAY 28 June Kemmerer, WY - Arco, ID

Sunday 28 June 2020
Nothing to exciting happened in Kemmerer during the night that we are aware of.  A couple trains went by.
It is chili and overcast this morning.  
We only had a three and a half hour drive today so we weren’t in a big hurry.  
We did get on the road at about 10:30.
We headed out highway 30 and right away saw that we were on the Auto Tour Route of the Oregon and California Trails.



Leaving and going through Kemmerer was actually kind of pretty




We went through the little town of Cokeville


And then hit the Idaho State Line.


Idaho was real pretty. It was free with a lot of farm land and lives talk. 

Bennington, Idaho
As we continued on the weather got worse.  The sky darkened and big ugly clouds were forming up. By Soda Springs, around noon it was pretty stormy looking


As we drove on it would look like maybe we wouldn’t get rained on. It would look like it was clearing up.  Lava Hot Springs didn’t look as bad as Soda Springs....

But it opened up and poured on us for about the last hour and a half of the drive.  I was dreading arriving and having to set up in the rain.
But, when we arrived in Arco it had stopped.
We stopped and fueled up both vehicles just before the campground. Again, our spot was like the first one, right at the entrance.  Easy peasy.  
We are only spending one night again so we didn’t unhook the truck. We hooped up power and water and opened things up. 
It was only 3:30 so we figured this was an excellent time to do laundry. And that’s what we did.
We ordered a small pizza and fish n chips from the camp ground cafe.  The delivered it to us which was nice.  Best of all, it was really good.
We spent the evening getting caught up with correspondence and played on the computers the. Went to bed.
We are hoping to get an early start tomorrow.  We are going to Darby, Montana tomorrow.  It is outside Missoula.  We are going to Darby because it is where a new program called “Yellowstone”, starring Kevin Costner was filmed.  We watched a couple seasons of it and the landscape is amazing.  We are hoping to be able to go check it out.
Oh, did I mention that it is real cold here.  It was only 54 degrees here which is another reason why we figured staying inside and doing laundry was a good idea.
I hope the weather is nice for the rest of the time we are in Montana.  I love it there and want to do as much outdoor activities as possible.
