Day 12 Twin Falls, ID to Burley, ID photos

The nice hotel we stayed at last night had a little media center in the main lobby. Those that have not had a chance to get on to a computer appreciated using this to catch up on reading their emails and writing notes home. Keith, from St Paul, MN is here in the lobby early this morning taking a turn at using the free computer services
About 10 miles out of town we crossed a high bridge, named the Hansen Bridge. There was a stunning overlook that we could pull off and take a look down 400' below to the Snake River. It is very impressive and makes you realize how difficult the pioneers had it with out a bridge over this 16 mile gorge. The only way to cross the canyon/gorge was by rowboat back before a bridge was built.

Keith and Dennis using their cell phones calling home or catching up on business while they rest outside their motel rooms this afternoon. With only a 38 mile ride today they got in early in time to get plenty of rest for the 110 mile ride tomorrow to Blackfoot, ID. Posted by Picasa
