Sunday, October 11, 2020 - Day 8 - Moran, Wyoming to Bruneau Dunes, Idaho

During the night we had hard rain and wind that rocked the rv. No, that wasn't us. In the morning we woke up to 32 degrees and a dusting of snow on the grass. The snow made the mountains even more beautiful though. Back driving before 8:00. Drove through Jackson on our way to Idaho. Our stop tonight will be Bruneau Dunes State Park. Ron did a great job driving the curvy mountain roads with a bit of snow on them. It made the view pretty but I'm sure it made the driving harder. On the flat lands he had to fight the winds (27 mph) that were buffeting the RV. We arrived and stopped at the visitors center before heading to our campsite. Then we took a walk to see their observatory but it was closed. This area is perfect for star gazing as it is so far from city lights. Then we went to the dunes which are the highest single dune structure in the US. There were a few kids sledding down the hills but we didn't have our sled.😳 Went back to the RV and had a beer, salsa and chips. We looked at the map to try to figure out the rest of our trip. Tonight is our last reservation and Ron wants to play it by ear so we'll see what happens. Had some steakums and beans for supper and another early night. Ron has his longest drive tomorrow but we should be in the Pacific time zone so we'll gain an hour. Not sure our bodies have adjusted to the time changes as we've been traveling.
