Miracles in the Middle of Nowhere
Day 4 Original Plan: Travel from Cody, WY to Laramie, WY with a pit-stop through Thermopolis.
New Day 4 Plan: Travel from Twin Falls, ID to Jackson, WY.
Another Mission Accomplished!
Last night, my hubby and I were discussing why Twin Falls was named Twin Falls. As we were plotting our route to Jackson, Wyoming, we saw a small scenic detour (about 2 miles out of our way) and decided to check it out. Neither of us was even remotely prepared for what we found.
All the scenery we had been viewing so far was arid and repetitive. What we found was a huge canyon with a beautiful waterfall. Although we took many pictures, nothing even touches the emotional experience of that canyon. Life is such a precious thing and there is so much beauty in our world. So many of us just need to stop and look. A small moment, a small detour, and we were awarded with big, grand results.
So now we had to start the drive across Idaho. Oh yay!

We noticed a long trail of windmills leading us across the state. It wasn’t hard to figure out as our car was being blown all over the road while we travelled.
Somewhere near the Idaho/Wyoming border we stumbled on a dam and decided to pull in for a short break. The drive was turning out significantly shorter today than we expected and the closer we got to Jackson, the more excited we got because we knew we would have time for a late afternoon ride.
The trails in Jackson are by far my favorite so far this trip. Have no idea why they named it Putt Putt Trail, but when you have as much fun as I did on that trail, you don’t really care what the name is.
We even had time after our ride to find a brew pub for the hubby!
