Southern ID, Part 1

Touring southern Idaho today. I checked out Thousand Springs Hydro Project and checked out the Fossil Beds left by a 3 million year old lava flow. Bones included beavers, zebra, otter, and water fowl. I had lunch at Elevation 486 overlooking the Snake River, a golf course, and the bridge between Jerome and Twin Falls. Diane got a little upset when I sneakily paid for lunch behind her back haha...I'm staying 3 nights at her and Jim's house for free so it's only fair.
Headed back out in the evening after it cooled down a bit (coming home from lunch was 96°) and checked out Shoshone Falls, which flows into the Snake River. The waterfall wasn't in full flow, but it was still pretty impressive, taller than Niagara Falls.
Odometer: 1130 miles
