These little lizards are everywhere. It's amazing we didn't step on them.
We decided to take a drive to Twin Falls on saturday and do some exploring. We heard of the bridge and wanted to check it out. The bridge is called the Perrine bridge. It's really neat when we were coming up to the city. We were driving through mostly a desert area and we started looking for the bridge because we couldn't see it but, we could see the city. All of a sudden we could see a huge gorge and then the bridge appears. We couldn't wait to get to the bottom. When we drove to the bottom of the gorge, there's a couple of golf courses and lots of picnic area. We were reading about the bridge and I guess this bridge is the only bridge in the U.S that Base Jumping is still legal without a permit. So, we will have to go back in the summer to see some base jumpers. Also, Evel Knievel tried to jump the canyon in 1974 but was un-succesful. The bridge is 1500 feet across and almost 500 ft. above the snake river below. We also went to the Shoshone Falls which are about 2 miles east of Twin Falls. I can't wait to go back in the summer and see it again. I bet its even more pretty.

After seeing the closeup of the bridge, I don't think I would want to jump from there. Looks pretty scary. Idaho looks so pretty. I hope we can visit some day.
wow that bridge looks pretty cool. There is no way that I would jump of of it though!!
