We arrived in Gooding yesterday afternoon. We encountered a lot of construction between Wells, NV and Twin Falls, ID. Our only travel event was when we stopped for gas and got in a tight parking lot which required disconnecting our tow car so we could get turned around.
It is so sad to see this small town. Like many California logging areas, this farming community is another "has been" town. Most of the downtown area has homes that are not being maintained and many storefronts are vacant.
We are staying at a campground at the County Fair. It is suprisingly nice with big concrete pads and large grassey strips. We are surrounded by pastures. It feels like camping out on the farm. The only sounds are the moos of cows and the whistle of passing trains. There are approximately 60 sites and the only other campers are in some tents.
Last evening we attended a Bar-B-Que for Chig's "Class of 1960". Most of his classmates are scattered throughout the western states. Tonight is dinner at the Country Club.
