Merrily We Roll Along

Yes, we are still heading east. Today, we finished off Idaho, hit the corner of Utah and ended up this evening in Green River, Wyoming. We did a side trip while in Twin Falls, Idaho. They have very scenic canyons with the Snake River at the bottom. Plus, they have a waterfall that is taller (so the literature says) than Niagra Falls. While driving east of Salt Lake City we attempted to take pictures of the pink rock mountains with the green grass on the sides but couldn't get it to work that looked anything like we were seeing. It is a beautiful country out in the middle of places that are very barren.

Do they have tornadoes in Wyoming? We didn't think so but they issued a warning for the county that we are in this evening. It did get dark, very cool and the wind blew hard. Interestingly enough, we turned on the TV to see where it was exactly BUT they only mentioned the tornado (no specific location at all). They went on for a minute or so about watching out for the lightning. We saw NO lightning. Weather is definitely different in this part of the world.

Tomorrow morning, we will continue east and see lots more of Wyoming.
