The big "B" to the "SLC" ( AKA Boise to Salt Lake City)

So we headed out from Boise bright and early (at least for Rose). First stop... Geocache! Grabbed a quick find at a nearby location and then hopped on the Interstate. Driving, driving, driving... Made what we thought was going to be a quick stop for lunch in Twin Falls, Idaho. As we pulled into Culvers, we saw signs for Shoshone Falls. Over fried cheese curds, yummy freshly made food, and frozen custard, we researched a nearby caches. If you have never been to Culver's (it is a chain restaurant), definitely give them a try when you see one, you won't be disappointed. The frozen custard is similar to really good ice cream, except much creamier and absolutely delicious! 

The first geocache that we found was in nearby Twin Falls County Centennial Waterfront

Park. The park was located deep in the valley, following the Snake River. From the park, we had a great view of Perrine Bridge, which spans 1,500 feet with a height of 486 feet. It was completed in 1976, and is a neat sight to behold. Also, Shoshone Falls, which neither of us had ever heard of, was pretty amazing! Shoshone Falls, called the Niagara Falls of the West, is actually 50 feet higher than Niagara Falls. The viewpoint was beautiful, even if it decided to rain tiny little kittens & puppies while we were there. Highlight- pressed penny machine, woo hoo! Naturally, there was a cache in the park we had to grab.

We reluctantly got back in the vehicle to finish our journey to Salt Lake City, Utah.  Although the Great Salt Lake is about 75 miles long by 28 miles wide, somehow we missed seeing the exits for it on the way into town. Instead, we made a quick stop at PetSmart to get some toys for two very patient pups. I am sure the guest of the LaQuinta Inn really appreciated those squeaky Kong balls. And headed for the hotel. After checking in, we enjoyed a quick dinner at Chick-Fil-A and called it a night.
