Kristie and I ate breakfast and worked on mapping the route home. We found it was only 11 1/2 hours driving north on I15 to I84 to I90 all 4 lane highways. I decided let’s do this! More beautiful landscape that changed by the hour! We stopped every 2 1/2 to 3 hours for gas, potty break and one stop included a stop at Dairy Queen for a Blizzard! Upon recommendation from Lori we pulled off the highway to drive into Twin Falls Idaho to see the bridge and gorge. See notes below with pictures!
My last day of 9 months of driving cross country on mostly 2 lane roads, intentionally connecting with family and friends, praying for each and everyone. Priceless connections! Receiving countless blessings everyday!

Snake River
Twin Falls Idaho Bridge, Perrine Bridge. Base jumpers enjoy the bridge as their launching pad for parachuting to the canyon floor below. BASE jumping is a sport involving the use of a parachute to jump from fixed objects. BASE is an acronym that stands for the 4 categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: Building, Antenna, Span, Earth. The Perrine abridge spans the majestic Snake River Canyon 486 feet above the river and is truly the only man-made structure in the ISA where BASE jumping is allowed year round without a permit!
