Party's (almost) over

We've come to our senses and are high-tailing it home. 529 miles today-- clean through Utah in one swoop. Blanding> Moab> Green River> Price> Spanish Fork> Provo> Salt Lake City> Ogden> Brigham City> Snowville> and Rupert, Idaho (where my Gonzaga roommate lived in the Minadoka County Fire Station with her Fire Chief Dad and the rest of her family) > Twin Falls.

Quick glimpse of the beginnings of the impressive Snake River Gorge, as we zipped towards town tonight.
First rain we've seen in 23 days (if we don't count a couple 20-minute dramatic and obligatory thunderstorms.) More serious wet stuff tomorrow, according to the local Southern Idaho crack meteorologist.

479 miles tomorrow. . .  from here in Twin Falls (our last motel!) to our cabin on High Prairie in good old Klickitat County (Washington!). Then the final 70-mile leg Saturday  morning.

'Nough said tonight. Sleep well, everyone. We will.
