Yeah, understand. If I had to explain it to you (if I could explain it), you still wouldn’t understand.
I don’t understand…
I visited Twin Falls this past August and was amazed at the variety of things to see. There are the Hagerman Fossil Beds, where you can see wheel ruts from the old Oregon Trail. There are the Thousand Springs, where water gushes right out of a cliffside, although they weren’t at their best in August. There is Minidoka, the haunting remains of a World War II Japanese-American internment camp. (Not yet developed for visitors, but maybe more haunting in its abandoned state.) And of course there is the Snake River Canyon itself, and Shoshone Falls.
There is a monument to the Evel Knievel jump at the base of the bridge–with the lettering abraded and almost unreadable!–and as noted you can see the launch ramp off in the distance. At the time of the jump, 40 years ago, I was unfamiliar with Idaho geography and assumed that the “Snake River Canyon” was the more famous Hells Canyon, also on the Snake River on the western boundary of Idaho. This summer I also visited Hells Canyon and I must say, that would have been a place for a jump! But good luck getting anybody to see it in that remote wilderness.
Neither do I, so we’re even.
