Headed into Idaho today, just for one night. The drive through southwestern Montana and the eastern part of Idaho was gorgeous. We drove through the Targhee forest and everything was green and lush, which is apparently very uncommon for these parts at this time of the year. Usually by now everything is brown and dried up but they have had an unusual amount of rainfall so everything looks fresh and new. This is not a place I’d want to live though, as it’s necessary to drive for miles and hours to get anything such as a grocery store and even gas stations are few and far between. If there is one thing I miss about San Diego, besides the people I love there, it’s the convenience. Not the traffic though, we drove miles today and passed maybe a half dozen cars, it’s great.
We got to Rexburg this afternoon and found the park, or the farm to be more precise. This is supposed to be the friendliest park in Idaho, and the lady who we checked in with was nice, but the ‘park’ is a little weird. We do have all the necessities though so we can’t really complain, and it’s only for tonight, we are off to Wyoming tomorrow.
Took a walk this afternoon around the farm, past the cows and the hay fields. It was quite hot and muggy but good for Tal-y since she has spent a lot of time in the car today. The walk was nice until we got almost home and I realised that I had lovely giant ants crawling all over me; I was very brave and didn’t scream once, but everything had to come off as soon as I got through the door. Mike wasn’t very sympathetic, even though they were huge; maybe I shouldn’t laugh at him and his mosquito obsession so much.

Mike: It was a nice farm! They had a nice river and a ton of derelict cars and trucks from the 30's, 40's, 50's laying around everywhere with cows scratching their ass on them. They would be worth a fortune in California. The ants were really tiny!
