Pocatello, Idaho - 7/25/17

Pocatello, Idaho - 7/25/17

No pictures for this posting ... we had a drive through Utah into Pocatello, Idaho along US 15.  Highway construction along US 15 and rain kept our travels fairly focused on just getting to our next location ... in this case, a KOA campground in Pocatello.   We must admit that we are finding the KOA campgrounds to be disappointing ... while they score high on reliability (easy to make reservations and a consistent product/service) and are convenient when trying to travel to a destination ... they are not necessarily located in appealing areas and some have very basic facilities (and poor Internet) ... we need to do better for Bambi (and for ourselves).

I tried to talk Paul into going to the leading museum in Pocatello, the Museum of Clean ... "a massive 77,000 square foot complex teaching the value and history of clean across every aspect of life in a wide variety of entertaining, fun and highly interesting displays".  He sadly shook his head and offered the fact that perhaps I could get treatment for my cleaning disorder ... we laughed and enjoyed the absence of clean as we headed out of town ... on to Montana.  (Did you wonder how they keep a 77,000 square foot complex clean?  I did.  Inquiring minds want to know ...)

Shout Out to Phinny:  Our grand-puppy (actually an 11 year old Golden Doodle) is home now with our son, John, his wife, Paula, and our grand-son, Max, recovering from surgery to remove a mass on his spleen that was bleeding into his chest cavity.  They are awaiting biopsy results on the mass.  Phinn is home and recovering from his surgery doing his best to keep up everyone's spirits, including his own.

OK, I confess that I thought you were joking about the 75,000 sq. ft. Museum of Clean. However, it actually exists! This is perhaps a testament to the quality of life in Pocatello... I don't see how Paul was able to resist a visit...

We look forward to learning more exciting discoveries on your journey North!
