Friday
Today’s the day we are to get our TV dish checked out as we haven’t had TV since we left home. Talked to repairman 3 times and we are to call when we get to town and he will come to us. Bud did his walk around to check motor home and truck out and discovered a flat on the truck. Long story short, it delayed us 2 hours while he had it fixed. We had a piece of metal about ¼” wide stuck in the tire.
On the road again. Surprised to find Idaho is flat going up I-15. The mountains are WAY off in the distance and we drive through potato and wheat fields. We were fascinated by a lot of the barns. They were like quanset huts covered in straw and dirt.
Arrived in Idaho Falls and called TV guy to come. He said he couldn’t figure out where we were. He’d never heard of a street by that name in Boise. Seems the website we got the name and phone number from had them mixed up. We headed to the address in Idaho Falls and repairman there helped us. Still have no TV. The owner of the shop we went to was raised in West Plains, MO and his family all lives around the area. Learned at the shop that there are NO FALLS around Idaho Falls. Don’t know where those pictures were taken that we sent around.
We’re staying 2 nights in Rexburg, ID and then go to Salmon for the opals. In morning we plan to take a day trip north of here to check out a waterfall Hopefully it will be the ones in the old email.
