Yesterday was our last full day in Idaho Falls.
Around 8:00 we headed over to the North Highway Cafe to meet up with Jo Ann and Dave and Doris and Jim.
On the way we saw a bunch of Geese, adults and juveniles clustered near a canal. We stopped to take a picture of them
and then moved along to get some pictures of The Idaho Falls which are in the middle of town.
One thing that impressed me was that they use the power of the falls to generate electricity for the residents of the city. Talk about intelligent use of a resource. Of course this was started in 1900 before the advent of the environmentalist movement.
I would think that any town that has a live stream going through it could also do this but the EPA probably wouldn’t let it happen nowadays.

Dave and I spent the morning taking a trailer load of branches to the dump and driving around the area. He took me to see a elk ranch. But the elk were so far away that we could just make them out.
We hung around Jo Ann and Dave’s for a while and around 3:30 Patti and I went back to the RV so we could start getting ready to leave today.
We went back to J&D’s for dinner and visited with them until around 7:30 then we said our goodbye’s and went back to the RV.
We are heading for Butte Montana today. We will spend the night there and tomorrow we will head for Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho to meet up with Shirley, Bill, Suzanne and Roy.
We had a really nice visit with JoAnn and Dave. They took us to some beautiful places and we really enjoyed our stay in Idaho Falls. You couldn’t ask for better host.
THANK YOU JO ANN AND DAVE.
