I owe it to Jim to post my Cookie Catastrophe in response to his Muffin Massacre. Before I go on, I must tell you that I bought butter the other day. I think the package said it was "quarters". At the time of purchase, I thought how cute they were. Yeah, I said cute. Not being a baker, as apparent by my boxed cookie mix usage, I didn't realize that the small "looking" stick of this butter is shorter but wider than the normal sticks. The directions called for a stick of butter, so I put in, what I thought was 2 halves. The end result is shown below. Jim says they taste OK, I think not. After eating a few, I felt my arteries harden. My throat feels like I licked a jar of vaseline. They'll be no hairball hurling for me for the next 6 months.
We've arrived at "Snake River RV Park" in Idaho Falls. It's cold here which usually results in a somewhat empty park. For some reason, they seem to put everyone together instead of spreading out. It's kinda annoying! The patio side of the RV has a fair amount of space but the connection side is close. Our slide and the neighbor's slide create a mere 5 foot space. Crazy.
The best part about arriving here is the leaving Utah. Not that we don't like it but we had enough.
Some photos from the drive here:

This billboard was too fun to resist. Is this brought to us by the Hashbrown Farmers of America? I know Idaho is famous for potatoes and I guess they thought to be creative. I actually went to the website. They have recipes and such, for potatoes, of course. I guess their advertising worked on me.
