KOA, Twin Falls, IdahoAnother beautiful, warm sunny day today.  We headed back to the Perrine Bridge and walked down to the overlook to check it out and take some pictures.  Imagine our surprise when we watched one base jumper after another leap from the top of  this 486 foot bridge.  They free-fall for a couple of seconds and then pull their chute.  Watched about 15 of these intrepid individuals.  Then drove over to Shoshone Falls and then over to Dierkes Lake Park.  Also drove down to the historic part of Twin Falls which was really nice.  Dinner at Cajino’s Italian Restaurant and then back to our park.  Pooped.  92 degrees today and got really windy.  What a pretty area this is.

Kept running into these two gals.  Donna on the left and Janet (79 years young) on the right.

Dierkes Lake Park.  A fantastic recreation area on this pristine lake.

Some people getting ready to jump off the rocks surrounding the lake.

Twin Falls--they diverted the other falls for power generation purposes (sigh).
