An Oasis Along the Way

7j0OGrGXT3m5ZutpgYxHEgAfter Sun Valley we were to meet our friends in Jerome, Idaho. Each of us traveling had some RV business to attend to and we decided to get ours done in Twin Falls. We connected with our repair guy and then decided to stay in town until we met up with our friends. We were looking for a place to stay “on a river” but didn’t have much hope in this mid-size city. Our App told us about a place called Rock Creek RV Park so we decided to check it out. Imagine our surprise as it took us to the industrial area of town. Here we were directed to turn right and head down a long and winding road. At the bottom were the most beautiful trees and a river. We had found an oasis and our home for the day!

It was fascinating! “Full timers” have so many stories and are a wealth of knowledge and both Ron and Darla offered us advice on a variety of topices. Our time with them was invaluable and we appreciated them so very much.

First, we were going to golf at the Blue Lakes Country Club Golf Course. This was a new adventure for me. It was a stunning course and easy to be distracted by the course design. I an sure a score of 133 isn’t that bad. We had dinner that night at the country club where we enjoyed ourselves immensely.

What a spectacular site! It is 212 feet tall and 900 feet wide and is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States. It is located on the Snake River and is a must see when in the area.
