June 26 2016 Around Thayne

Finding ourselves without any pressing tasks to be performed, we took all morning to eat some cereal, drink coffee and read. However, we soon both became sort of interested in looking around the local area. Yesterday, we went north on a big loop so today we went south on US-89 to Afton, about 15 miles south of our RV park in Thayne. Afton is a bit more populous than Thayne but that doesn’t mean their grocery stores are any more open on Sunday than those in Thayne. Do not attempt to buy any groceries in the Wyoming/Idaho border region on the Sabbath because you will not succeed.
We took a side road that ran west from Afton called UT-238. It crossed the few miles of valley floor before turning north toward a dinky little community called Auburn. Lots of horses and cattle and pastures here. We also spotted a bald eagle and some other, smaller raptors feasting on little creatures. Unfortunately, other than the gorgeous, bucolic scenery, there were no other interesting roads less than 75 miles long that we encountered so we went back to our RV park and watched movies.
There are no pictures today.
