Wendover to Idaho Falls

We left Wendover, the town that sits next to Bonneville salt flats, its a town with a State boundary running through it, so the Utah side (where we stayed) is a sober kind of place and then the West side which sits in Nevada is where all the Casino's are, quite strange for us country folk. We stopped to see the Ice cave near Shoshone, a lava tube created the cave which because of the air currents has a 30 foot deep ice floor. Then on to the Craters of the Moon national park which once again is a volcanic field, the whole arae sits around the Continental divide and in the past was a hotbed of volcanic activity (no pun intended). We stayed in Twin falls which was famous for being the site of American stunt rider Evel Knievil failed attempt to jump the snake river canjon in 1974. Then onto Idaho Falls to celebrate my birthday, nice little town but no idea how they can support so many hotels!
