Day 4, Leg 1, Idaho Falls to Arco:: Mile:60

Back on the bikes! Idaho Falls was disappointing. Cold, threatening
clouds and an overnight rain. This morning it's cold, no more than 40
in town, dropping to 35 in the open.
Speaking of the open, we are riding out of IF into the high plains of
ID. We are at about 5000 ft. The scenery is as spectacular as it is
cold. Flat plain with scattered buttes and vast snow covered mountain
ranges to the north. The sky is now crystal blue (after the snow
squall coming out of IF. We passed the Idaho National Lab (Nuke stuff)
and the site of the EBR-1 (the first breeder reactor), very safe in
the middle of nowhere here. It is now a museum. Very appropriate that
the XRAY bike passes by.
