We got up pretty early, have a big day planned. Since Idaho is known for it’s potatoes we plan to visit a potato processing plant today. Randy and Sheri have a close friend who owns it so we are getting a personal grand tour. Was very interesting, learned about the process of planting, harvesting, sizing, grading, packing, storing, and any other questions we had about potatoes. Not only the processing plant but we were taken on a drive through some of the potato farms as well.
That was absolutely a great tour and educational, all you ever wanted to know about potatoes. Very big business in Idaho for sure.
After the potato experience it was time to visit the Yellowstone Bear World in Rexburg, but first it’s time for lunch at Freddie’s, always good! Bear World is a drive through park to see several different animals, bears, elk, buffalo, and near the end to see the bear cubs being bottle fed and played with by the park employees.
After this very interesting day we returned to Randy & Sheri’s to ham sandwiches for dinner. After dinner we changed our plans and decided to go up to the Cabin this evening. Their cabin is up near the border of Idaho, Montano, and Wyoming, not so far from here. We played cards, learned a new card game, “Golf” tons of fun. Haven’t laughed so much in a very long time. Fantastic day all around!
Tomorrow we plan to visit Yellowstone National Park and see Old Faithful, my very first time! Can’t wait. See ya next post.
Side note: Since we did not bring the motorcycle on this trip there have been no photos of it lately. Yes, we miss riding, but honestly having so much fun, wouldn’t trade it for the world. This trip would have been too long and inconvenient for a motorcycle ride, but if you want a reminder of what she looks like, then this is for you.
She’s safely at home, stored in her private area and we’re looking forward to riding when we return. 🙂

Thanks Ray and be sure, I intend too!!! They say that travel broadens the mind and I am sure that holds true. I travelled for most of my working life of course mainly flying whereas now I travel for myself I much prefer two or four wheels. I drive between the UK and Italy every few months and really enjoy France, a great country with super motorways as well as trains!!
I have several hotels I use along the route, it takes me a day to get out of Italy and another day to cover France.
