We started our road trip from Fremont, California to Yellowstone yesterday morning. Everything went as per plan so far. We had very limited number of stops to stretch our body and get our lunch. Kids were exceptionally cooperative in the back seat. The movie "Dumbo" (the flying elephant) kept them entertained for a while. The barren views on both sides of US-93 would make even a sane mind go crazy. The positive side was - large stretches of I-80 and US-93 have 75 miles as speed limit (and not 65 or 70 as in California). Last night we stopped in Twin Falls, Idaho after covering 692 miles (as per Google maps). It took us 14 hours. That includes all stops, refueling breaks and losing an hour because of time zone change.
The hotel in Twin Falls is a luxury one - newly-built, exceptionally well maintained and had lot of amenities including a very big indoor swimming pool. Family went out for a swim after 10:00 P.M. They were full of energy!!!
Today morning after breakfast we start for West Yellowstone in Montana. It will be another 5+ hours journey. Hopefully the views will be more enticing.
