I-84 Westbound in Idaho
After yesterday's rain, today was sunny and warm. We left Brigham City a little before 9 am and arrived in Caldwell, Idaho, at 4:20 pm. On the way, we stopped in Glenns Ferry, Idaho to tour an Oregon Trail Museum, but alas, the museum was closed on Wednesdays, so we didn't get to tour it. It was located at Three Islands State Park, which offered water and electric hookups and looked like a great park for camping. It was a beautiful setting right on the Snake River. Sprinklers were running which kept the park green.
Glenns Ferry, Idaho
Oregon Trail pioneers knew this spot well. It was one of the most famous river crossings on the historic trail. Pioneer travelers used the three-island crossing until 1869, when Gus Glenn constructed a ferry about two miles upstream. Click here for more information about this museum and the state park.

Tonight we are staying at Ambassador RV Park in Caldwell, Idaho. It's a great new park with wide gravel sites which each have a concrete patio and a patch of grass at each site. The streets of the park are wide and made for big rigs. The park has a heated swimming pool and spa, playground, exercise room, and a lounge area where they offer free coffee and muffins in the morning. Free Tengo wifi internet is included in the price. We paid $31 after the Good Sam discount.
