Leaving Yellowstone at 10, we got into Idaho around 11, and thought we'd have a picnic at a rest area. At 2:30, hungry and frustrated, we stopped at a town called Rexborg, which promised a Beaver Dick Park that we couldn't find.
But it begs the question, "Why would you name a park Beaver Dick?"
It's a hermaphroditic park?
There was a trapper, friend to Marmot Jack?
It's a beaver breeding ground?
Whichever it was, we couldn't find the park and finally had lunch in the parking lot of a Comfort Inn. I'm not a fan of Idaho's Not a Fan of Rest Areas approach to highway travel.
We came into Salt Lake City around seven. Downtown, near Temple Square, there are a lot of men with man purses. I don't know if that's a Mormon thing, or a SLC thing, or what. But almost every guy downtown had a man purse. For what that's worth.
We're staying with Heidi's friends Dave and Jenn, who have two boys: Paris 6 and Hunter 2. Last night, they taught me all there is to know about the new Transformers. There's a new transformer--The Fallen--that is more powerful and dangerous than any other Decepticon. Though I'm sure Shia LaBouf will kill it somehow.
