Thanks for the info. I discovered how small when I attempted to locate their home town page. Maybe we will just wave as we drive through. We are going along a scenic route mapped on a state map given out by AAA. Actually just a loop around northern Utah, southwestern Wyoming and southeastern Idaho and back into northern Utah. It does not appear that it is a great distance, so we should never be far from a quick hop back to civilization (Motels and food)

Aw, c%26#39;mon SaintJames, I didn%26#39;t say it wasn%26#39;t worth a stop for lunch. There%26#39;s actually even a museum there - Oregon Trail Interpretive Museum (or something like that) that my kids have all gone on field trips to visit. There%26#39;s probably some local restaurants that I%26#39;m not aware of (we generally just hit the groceery store as we drive through).

If you%26#39;re heading down Hwy 89 past Bear Lake (as it sounds from your itinerary), then I can recommend stopping at one of the three or four burger places in Garden City for a raspberry shake (local favorite). You won%26#39;t be disappointed. The place with a big covered wagon out front, or the one across the street from it, are our favorites.
