I'm in declo Idaho. Drove from Baker City Oregon past Boise and Twin Falls. Don told me about an ice cream parlor in a small town that has the best ice cream in Idaho. So I detoured off the interstate 10 found it. It was very good and worth it. I did not get to see young clergy friend in Twin Falls which was disappointing. Experienced pretty heavy thunderstorm activity during the night. But I finally got some decent sleep. On to Yellowstone.

So you went through Baker City. My father served the church there from 1952 to 1956. Did you stop by the United Methodist Church on Washington Street, not far from downtown Baker? That building was constructed after we left, so the church building I knew is gone. It was on the same site, though. Our parsonage, built in the 1800's, was next door to the church and was also torn down because it was barely fit for human habitation. We were the last family to live there. Did you see the court house? I used to play on the court house lawn. Baker (it wasn't Baker City back then) was a good place for me to live as a child -- I roamed all over town by myself or with a friend because children had so much more freedom in those days. We moved away after I finished third grade.
