Whichever way the river flows: Like rivers roaring over waterfalls, so are the days (and nights) of our lives.

No, hopefully our lives aren't like soap operas, especially when we are on vacation.

Dwain! Megan! We've been caught by the paparazzi. Break! Break! Break!

You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves. - Evel Knievel

Actually, we've landed at Twin Falls, Idaho, and this is Shoshone Falls. This is sometimes referred to as the Niagara Falls of the West. And those buttes in the background definitely pinpoint our location.

It was a heck of an adventure to reach our destination. Or as Evel Knievel said: 'I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could."

We crossed two railroad tracks in downtown Shoshone. There was a platform to stand on and watch the trains come and go. We were impressed by the murals that were painted on rock store walls in many of the small western towns. Signs directed us to our destination.

No, we didn't stop at this "roadside attraction," complete with large Indian, dinosaur and ice cave, but I'll bet Clark Griswald would have.

When is the last time a sign directed you to a cave that could serve as a civil defense shelter?

Uh, we think we'll pass on this tourist attraction. No cars in the parking lot.

Finally, we've reached Twin Falls.

Hey! Over here. That is the Perrine Bridge. It supposedly is one of the few artificial structures where base jumping is allowed. If we had the time, Dwain could have strapped on a parachute and jumped off the bridge. Yee-hah!

That's the famous Snake River below us. See the green on the far side of the river? That is a golf course. Neat, huh?

I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short. - Evel Knievel

Megan is pointing to a map that locates the exact point where Evel Knievel tried to jump the mile-wide Snake River in his rocket-powered sky cycle on September 8, 1974. Too bad the launch site is on private property. :(

You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon. - Evel Knievel

Holy Cow!! Could this be the spirit of Evel Knievel walking toward that far away bluff where he launched his sky cycle ... or is it a couple of college kids from New Mexico? Actually the girl is riding on the boy's shoulder and both are wrapped in a blanket to stay warm. Oh, to be that young ... again!

Idaho has literally hundreds of waterfalls. We spent the night in Idaho Falls but passed on snapping an image of that falls. We drove past roads leading to both the Upper Mesa Falls and Lower Mesa Falls.

Our destination was Shoshone Falls, and we played a lot.

Here's a panoramic view that bends and distorts the image so we can see Shoshone Falls and the buttes in the background along with the Snake River rushing on past through Twin Falls.

I have my tombstone already. A tombstone company in the East gave it to me when I jumped Snake Canyon. My plot is in Montana. - Evel Knievel

See the stilt people (those crazy/funny college kids) in front of Megan? We walked and climbed all over the park to see the falls from different angles. It was also a good way to keep our blood pumping. Can you tell it was cold?
