(click title for a map)
We packed well and I printed the driving directions from mapquest and off we went 281 miles on the shortest possible route things were going swimmingly when we noticed that the mapquest directions were to turn right on HW 89, but we were already on HW 89 so we continued driving till we noticed a sign that read PRESTON IDAHO! WTF, where the hell are we, so we stop in the local convience store and are told that "yes you missed your turn Only 50 Miles AGO!
but....... I know a shortcut over the mountain" Imagine all the movie scenes going through my head.
So we took this shortcut, (which by the way is georgous! cach mountains in southern Idhao) and it worked out but once we got to the other side there was a fork in the road........DUM DUM DUM which way to go, so the family flipped a coin and we choose left so 35 miles later we are told in Montpelier Idaho that we chose wrong so we uturned and another hour later we were checking in at the Bear Lake Lounge what was estimated to be a 2 hour 41 min drive ended up being a 5 hour tour of southern Idaho.

That just makes it a fun story to tell. It looks beautiful.
Bear Lake always counts as a vacation, one of my favorites actually! Sorry you missed your exit though, that sucks, I hate that! Glad you had a fun time
