A couple of weeks ago last Saturday we took off for a short ride up to powder Mt to see the snow.  We lost our way and ended up on the freeway heading north.  So we decided to go to Bear Lake.  We stopped at Beaver Mt. since neither of us had ever been there.  They still have a lot of snow and their not that high in elevation.  We got to Bear Lake and then we headed for Soda Springs Idaho. 

The water spout is on a hourly timer and we just missed it but we walked all around it and over it.  Its really cool place.  It is all man made.  They just wanted some hot water.



From Soda Springs we drove to Chesterfield Idaho to get some gas, but it was late and the town had closed for the day.  In truth its now a ghost town.  When the railroad was coming through there, Brigham Young sent a group of Saints there to settle because trading trails went west, east north and south from there.  But to their despair the railroad went on the west side of the valley instead of the east and left them high and dry.  There are a number of homes there built of brick, a beautiful school and church.  They also have a large cemetery as many of the decendents come home at the end.  It ended up a 317 mile short drive but worth it. 

PS, there were not any fresh raspberries at Bear Lake much to the disappointment of Mom.
