During our time in Idaho, we crossed the Snake River several times. Clint is a member of the Snakes group of the YMCA Adventure Guides which is named for the Snake River. Our next stop in Idaho was in Ketchum where we had lunch with Doug's Uncle Red and cousins Peter and Brian. We then moved on to Blackfoot, home of the Idaho Potato Museum and Gift Shop. They give “Free Taters for Out-of-Staters,” so we got two packages of dehydrated hash browns. We also saw the World's Largest Potato Crisp, documented by Guiness World Records. The potato crisp (not a potato chip, like a Pringle's) is actually cracked, but I swear it was cracked before we got there. Doug feels that this is a record that can easily be broken, and he plans to work on it when we get home.

	44. We're home! Sep 3 2010, 07:30 PMNew York, United States, New York We made it home just in time to watch the world premeire of Camp Rock 2 on the Disney Channel and beat Hurricane Earl. We were gone for 46 and a half days and drove 11,763 miles. It was an amazing trip, but it's also great to be home.

	43. One last stop Sep 2 2010, 08:13 PMElkhart, United States, Indiana One last overnight stop in Elkhart, Indiana. It's Mindy's hometown. More importantly, it's a town on I-80 with lots of motels.

	42. Great Wolf Lodge Sep 2 2010, 12:23 AMWisconsin Dells, United States, Wisconsin After another long day of driving, we have stopped for the night at one of the Great Wolf Lodge chain's hotels with an indoor water park. This one is in Wisconsin Dells, which seems to be an area full of indoor water parks. We're going to spend some time playing here before moving on...
