We’ve always wanted to cruise the King Hill area along the Snake, so we did! We tried to take as many back roads as possible and avoid the interstate.

We stopped for lunch at a little burger joint around the Buhl area.

Just outside of Bear Lake we ran into some rain and hail the size of an eraser. Can you say ouch…. This is right after the rain and we are taking off the rain gear.
