Twin Falls
Highlights from meeting up for a weekend at the halfway point between Vale and Salt Lake City:
- Evel Knievel's ramp dirt pile, from where he tried to jump the Snake River Gorge.
- Shoshone Falls, even if it was almost dry and the rocks were kinda bulbous and strange.
- Talking to those kid punks downtown: "I don't really love Jesus."
- That Volkswagon bus-truck AKA dream car.
- The Grand Vu Drive-In.
- Ghost Rider, which was terrible, but in a really fun way.
- The Oasis, the only damn bar in town.
- That lonely cowboy in the corner with black hat, black pants, and white puka shell necklace.
- People on the dance floor: a middle-aged couple and a young man with Down's syndrome.
- Arguing at the bar about whether pomos are more or less inclined to like Prince. (toss-up)
- The "NUKMALL" vanity plate on a truck in the motel parking lot.
- Frankie's Oatmeal and sitting by the Snake River Gorge.
- Not needing a radio when you got a guitar in the car.
- Jumping off of hay bales.
- Talking to the farmer who came out to see what we were doing jumping off of hay bales.
- Jumping, in general.
- Good times and good friends, in general.
