We hauled the trailer 7 miles up a mountain and then thankfully the road leveled off as we went through Logan, UT and on to Idaho. At one point we were on Hwy 36 and we couldn't tell if we were going up or down! Definitely a very lonely road!
We had culture shock when we drove into Montpelier! No fast food, one grocery store, a couple of gas stations. Population 2500. After setting up at the Montpelier Creek KOA we drove back into town to get groceries (making breakfast in the trailer?) and checked out the Ranch Hand restaurant at the Cowboy Truck stop.
July 1 we went to the Ranch Hand for breakfast. Very good food and great prices! After breakfast we went to see the Butch Cassidy Museum. The museum is located in the second bank he and his gang robbed. They got away with $7000. Big money back then.
The gem of Montpelier is the Nationl Oregon/California Trail Center. Several tour busses a day stop in and the Living experience is the gem of the museum. Participants go on a 2000 mile Oregon Trail route with a Wagon Master and several costumed actors who help the participants understand the problems and dangers of the trip. The experience takes about an hour. Also in the museum is a snack bar, gift shop, a quilt exhibit, and paintings of the Oregon trail by a local artist.
