Start of June Adventure

Hello loyal follower(s) This was erroneously posted on the Crusty Dough Nut blog

June 10, 2011, we started  our adventure in St George where the forecasted high temperature was to be 92℉, of course we wore our shorts  and light weight tops.  We drove north to Pocatello Idaho where the forecasted  high was 72℉.  Being "desert rats" we were freezing.  Being hardy "desert rats" we walked to Applebee's for dinner because it was only two blocks away.  Not a good plan, we became "drowned rats" walking back in the rain.  This was a problem we rarely had in St George.

June 11, 2011,  as we drove on north through Idaho and most of Montana on Interstate 15 we stopped a  two of the new Rest Stops along the highway:
This was the outside view of the rest stop,  nothing unusual or special from the outside but the inside was special.













the inside was special these were the four privatebathrooms for the women.












And four 
private bathrooms for men.

 In a regular rest stop there are usually two three urinals and two toilets and 
no privacy.


Seemed neat to Mr Nut.





View of our RED Prius and the landscape (actually a town)  taken from outside the rest area building.

It was here that we changed into our blue jeans to offset the "cold" weather of the day, the temperature bounced around  all day from 40℉ to 72℉ but most of the time it was in the 50's℉ with clouds and showers.


We were very surprise that the food in the portable refrigerator was still good at the end of the day even though Mr (I forgot) Nut did not plug the refrigerator in the car in the morning.


Our day ended in Shelby Montana, where we had a great meal a a place called Ring Side Ribs.  The picture was of Cyndy and Mr Nut.

  Shelby (population about 3,000) is still trying to profit of a boxing match that took place July 4, 1923 between Tom Gibbons and Jack Dempsey.
Mr Nut says they should "get a life", the fight was almost 100 years ago.

Anyway tomorrow we will slip across the border to Alberta, Canada.

À bientôt,

Mr Nut
