Day 1 - Oct 6 - Rexburg to Casper

Day 1 (10/6/2022) - Rexburg, ID to Casper, WY

Any tour worth it's salt won't budge until it has what it needs to go the distance...a full tank of gas and a 44oz soda of choice...from Maverik, of course!  I'm excited about the trip, but it'll be a sad day when I leave the land of Mav, and especially its soda fountains :-D.

I actually thought that today would be a pretty basic drive between the 'Berg and Casper, WY.  But...the Tetons..the west and east slopes really showed up today!


And between them, add the first two states of the trip - Idaho and Wyoming:


 And not only scenery, but the animals also came out to play!




Plus, the first national park.

Today was the first time I've taken the scenic byway between Teton National Park and the far side of the Shoshone National Forest.  My word!  What an absolutely beautiful drive.


Then Wyoming sent me off with an absolutely gorgeous sunset!  What a day!

And I finally pulled into Casper after dark.  Imagine my joy at seeing this place as I pulled into town!


Thanks for checking in!  It was a great day...with many more to come.  

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Cheers!
