Addendum to Idaho part III

In my rush to post the pretty pictures taken along the drive, I neglected to mention the worst part of the trek.

Our rental car reeked of gas.

Can you imagine spending 3 hours trapped in the small confines of a little Kia Sorrento choking on fumes of gasoline? Rolling down the windows did not help much and only led to complaints from the back passengers. We hoped the smell would disappate by the time we reached our destination, but it remained strong and whole for the entire duration of the trip. I felt nauseated.

The driver of the Explorer had arranged the rental from Budget. He called a branch located in Twin Falls (we planned to visit Shoshone Falls before heading to the hotel). The people at that branch were very nice and willing to help out in any way they could. I hopped into the Explorer and he drove the Sorrento over to the branch while the rest of us headed to Shoshone.

Long story short, he was unable to trade the vehicle for a new one because the people who owned the branch in SLC were uncooperative. The rest of the trip I did not ride in that car.

Stay tuned for lovely pics of Shoshone Falls.
