Friday (6/5)  We left Idaho Falls, ID for the Grand Tetons, WY.   Before we left, we went to the Museum of Idaho to see a traveling exhibit about the Titanic.  The exhibit included many personal items from passengers on the ship.   Salvaged items included a suit of clothing that was completely in tact, a pair of cotton gloves, glass vases, dishes,  many leather items and even paper items.   Most of the paper items were found inside of leather pouches.   The leather in those days was treated with a wax substance and it is believed that is what kept the paper in such good condition. We were given a "Boarding Pass" when we entered the museum.   It contained the personal information about a passenger on the Titanic.  At the end of the exhibit you could look and see if that person survived.  It was a unique way to make the exhibit more personal.

We left Idaho Falls in the afternoon.  The landscape along the way was just breath taking - REALLY.   It included lush green trees, green mountains, lakes, rivers and snow capped mountains (see pictures.)   Pictures cannot do the scenery justice.  

We arrived at the RV park about 6 pm.  It was raining and our site is on the muddy side - Ughhhh!!!!!   Our most expensive RV park yet but not the least bit nice.  If it weren't for the scenery around it, it would have nothing to offer.  Oh well, three days here and then on to Yellowstone.
