HAPPY TRAILS DIARY

  The sole survivor of the deserts of Idaho.   Actually, the Bruneau Sands Dunes was an interesting place.  The dunes weren't as large as what you might think, but it was fun running up and down the dunes.    http://www.idahoparks.org/parks/bruneaudunes.html    

  We drove around the Snake River and stopped at one of the places that overlooks the Hagerman Fossil Beds area.  We didn't find any fossils here because we couldn't get down to the area.  One place we could go looking is up the river a bit.  The visitor center had several of fossils and displays.  The Hagerman Horse is on display in Washington D.C.  Luck would have it...no Hagerman Bear.  http://hagermanfossilbeds.areaparks.com/   This whole area was once covered by Lake Idaho which was part of Lake Bonneville.  Lots of good fishing back then!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Bonneville    

    Me and the Oregon Trail....well part of it.  This is part that goes to the banks of the Snake River.  There are segments of the Oregon Trail all over including down Boise Avenue in Boise, but that's all covered with blacktop.  Stinky.  http://www.isu.edu/~trinmich/Oregontrail.html

  No, it's just left over from the Idaho trip in November.  There are more...especially on the 'geek day'.  Who knew that technology could be so much fun!!  You'll have to check back to see when they're posted.
  
  PS--I heard that things may be moving, so there might be more room for the extra pictures...  :)

  Dear Happy,
  I am so impressed with all your doing. I would have loved to see all those lights... and I loved being able to see you in so many of the pictures. I love to be in pictures to. You should come see some of my pictures sometime. :-)

  Dear Happy,
  
  Looking at all that sand makes me thirsty, but you know, of course, that you will never be hungry because of all the "Sand which is there."  (Sorry--had to say that.)
  
  I've been to Idaho only once, but I remember that Coeur d'Laine was one of the prettiest places I had ever seen.  The only thing better than mountains is the ocean.  Are you on your way to the Pacific?
  
  Keep having fun!
