I did run on down to Idaho Falls, Idaho-
There is actually a falls there!
There was a marker as well-
Inscription. On December 10, 1864 a franchise was granted to Edward M. Morgan, James M. (Matt) Taylor, and William F. Bartlett to operate a ferry one and one-half miles below Cedar Island and build a bridge over Snake River at Black Canyon. Mr. Taylor selected the bridge site and in 1864-65 erected an 83 foot wooden span with solid rock anchorage on both sides. It was a modified queens truss type. The first bridge to cross Snake River was located 1320 feet south of this spot. A replica of the bridge tops this monument.
I also headed over to the Grand Teton Mall, where I used to have a Lane Bryant store back in 1987-88. I made a trip up there from Salt Lake City, and the co manager was fuming- her manager was badly mistreating her- I called in Dennis Frodsham from corporate security to help out, and we met that night to see what was us. The co manager unloaded on us to the point that the manager was arrested the next day, and it was quite the experience. I remember my boss yelling at me for going out there in the first place-
All that for naught, as the store isn't there anymore!
I also hoped to go to a neat aircraft museum here in Rexburg, but it was closed, being Sunday, and also to the Philo B. Farnsworth museum in Rixley down the road, but it was also closed due to it being Sunday.
