Stopped in Jackson for some fancy donuts (not review worthy) and then headed for the EBR-1 Nuclear Museum! Arrived about 1:30 and had a terrific tour.

Drove past Craters of the Moon NM and then on to Three Island Crossing. It is so nice to drive the back roads when we can. Arrived at the campground and by 6:15 Lynn was giving the tent trailer a good thorough cleaning.

We enjoyed a quiet evening and a spectacular moonrise while imagining the travelers along the Oregon Trail. We had a great night of sleep.

Gained an hour. Phew. Stopped at the Starlite Cafe in Vale, OR for breakfast treats and had Thai food at the Elk Horn Cafe in Burns. Oh so good.

What a wonderful trip this has been. So many things learned, people met, and miles traveled.
