Day 7

As mentioned yesterday, it was my birthday - one year left until I qualify for Medicare. Hard to imagine when I feel so much younger : )
We had a busy day. After a great breakfast with fresh off the farm cured bacon, we headed to the Potato Museum with Greg & Marla. It was very interesting and I learned that the Idaho Baker is a Russet Burbank Potato. We then had lunch at Rupe's, a local hamburger place.
Next we headed out of town past Idaho Falls to Yellowstone Bear Country. Here we drove through acres where we saw Elk (including a white Elk), Bison, Wolves, Moose, Bear (including many cubs). Next we drove on to Lower and Upper Mesa Falls along the Snake River. The cayon was beautiful and the falls were spectacular. We ended the day at Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que in Idaho Falls and had a fun dinner. It was really a great day. We are now headed to Burley for lunch with Chig's cousin then on to Boise.
