For Memorial Day, I and three friends drove 3.5 hours north to Twin Falls, Idaho. One big reason was because I believed that one or more of my grandfather's photos was taken of the Perrine Bridge and Snake River, which are big attractions in Twin Falls.
Despite the similarities in the bridge and river shots, none of us could find the exact spots where any of these photos were taken. This could be because the bridge and river has changed significantly since the photos were taken (the bridge has gone through extensive renovation since the middle 70s, some parts near the bridge have been fenced off, and 30 years of climate change may have changed the river's width and path). It could also just simply be the wrong location.
So disappointingly, back to square one for another recreation, but Twin Falls was beautiful nonetheless; it did have base jumpers and Jack in the Box.
Oh yeah, Evel Knievel attempted a jump across the river that one time too. |
