The drive to Idaho Falls was uneventful. We stayed there a couple of days with friends. Then we picked up R in Rexburg after he arrived back from a whirlwind tour of the near Midwest! He and friends crammed into cars and drove through Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah (where they stopped to see A), and back to Rexburg. There was a friend's wedding in Omaha. The rest was just fun!
Back to our trip:
This sign is actually by a roadside in Idaho Falls. Given the high number of concealed weapons permits issued there, I took it seriously!

This is a picture of downtown Idaho Falls. The place looks like 1955, except for the cars. Most of eastern Idaho is like that!
By the way, Vancouver to Rexburg is about 785 miles each way. Lots of beautiful country and lots of boring country. Very little city. Very nice.
