We drove to Jackpot, NV to try to find somewhere to eat. Unfortunately, in NV, the only places to eat are also casinos. So we grabbed a quick bite and got back on the road. George Jones anyone?
It was the first casino I've been in. Lots of bright lights....and smoke.....*cough*
This is the Salmon Dam, I believe. We were back in Idaho here.
Izzy loves traveling with us!
I don't remember what lake this was, but Izzy wanted to get in!
Then we drove down in the canyon to these rivers.
Izzy Marie and Jed by one of those rivers.
Down in the canyon
Comforting....
So pretty
We searched and searched for "Murphy Hot Springs." It turned out being the name of the town down in the canyon, but we were told they did have a hot spring, it just wasn't maintained. We finally found it and what a disappointment! This was just a hot pool of water filled with algae. Ew!
The view on the way back out of the canyon. That's Elk Mountain in the background.
We seriously were a long way from anywhere. I've never drove so far into nothingness!
Izz being a good girl....for a second. Then she went back to bugging her buddy, Anthony.
Salmon Reservoir
Another canyon....Idaho has a lot of canyons!
Jed looking at the reservoir....a tad close to the edge, I might add!
So, of course, he likes to torture me and get even closer! Ugh!
Our little family
Then we made it back for the fireworks show in Twin Falls
Happy 4th of July!

Did you see any snages? That camp ground reminded me of camping in Oramel by that ditch. Remember that?
No snages, but we were definitely in snage country! It was very similar to Oramel....lots and lots of rednecks! :) I hope our cabin in Yellowstone is like that!
Jed is a naughty boy for getting so close to the edge!! Bad Jed!!!
The Yellowstone vacation is almost here. I can tell your mom & dad are really looking forward to it! It is so cool that your whole family will be there together. I hope you all have an awesome time!
I know....I can't even wait! It can't come fast enough now!!! Then I'll be home for a month in September! :)
Hi Laura - Just dropping in to tell you that I still look at your blog regularly to keep up with you and Jed! Great photos and stories! Have fun with your family visiting!
