American Road Trip Day 3 - Casper, WY to Idaho Falls, ID

A lazy start to the day, and I still felt half asleep. After 92 miles I pulled off the road for a quick nap in the town of Shoshin. I'm determined to get to Idaho today, and hope that the landscape becomes less flat - it's not helping me stay awake!

Car is struggling a bit today, but gets better as the day progresses. I've got a quote of £820 to ship her back to the UK - nice! Seems like this could be an awesome idea.

A few more hours of driving and snow capped mountains appear in the distance. There's something odd about driving through what is effectively desert, in over 40 degrees heat and being able to see snow in the distance. I decide this is a good thing and hasten forward.

(ok so this is a bit closer and past the desert, but you get my point... ;)

Food wise, I'm doing well today. My stupidly large Pizza from last night with free Cinnamon bread serves as breakfast, first lunch and second lunch.

It's late as I arrive in Idaho falls, gone 9pm. I left at about 12, which means it's taken me 9hrs to do the 340 odd miles I've done today. Oh dear. Subway for dinner, followed by some essential purchases at Walmart:

1. An orange towel (will be useful for Couch Surfing methinks)
2. An orange blanket (in case I get caught out - and if I'm going to do it, then I may as well match)!
3. A pillow and brown pillow case (no orange, but at least it matches the car. Essential for afternoon kips, and no doubt good for the Couch Surfing).
