Day 5: Idaho


After breakfast, we left the Cable residence at around 8:30 am now toward to BYU, Idaho for a tour at 3 pm tomorrow at 9 am. We took a detour in Brigham City to see the Hadfields. Rosan tried calling 411 to find them but ended up getting a brother who kindly told us the address of the missionaries who served in California. When we arrived and found them in the backyard, they were NOT the right Hadfields, in fact, he was another brother! So finally we were off to the correct Hadfield’s home to visit for an hour or so. We were delighted to see them.


Now off to BYU but an hour or so later than expected to we altered our plans. Off to Idaho to spend the night at the Rexburg RV Campsite located off Highway 20. A pit stop in Pocatella allowed us to go to the zoo. What a fun zoo, too! The back of the cages for the lower half of the zoo animals were the natural volcanic rock. We officially saw our official "backup" animals we want to see on our trip through the wild country. We say a grizzly bear, black bear cub, mountain lion, bobcat, Canadian geese, coyotes, bison, magpie, elk, marmot (running wild), deer, wild turkey, and bighorn sheep.
