Mesa Falls

the revered Snake River
Another reason to like living where I live. We ventured out to Mesa Falls last week--about an hour and a half from town. One word: Wow. 
A stunning bright autumn day, a brisk edge to the air, first sight of changing leaves, and the falls themselves. Plus a happy little rainbow. I'm told it's been the site of a marriage proposal or two, understandably so.  M was awestruck with the "big wadderfall!" 
We topped off our outing with lunch at Big Juds. You'd never guess that in the rear of a gas station/mini mart/video rental would be non-descript little joint serving some of the best burgers ever.  I'd have posted a photo of the goods (mine: mushrooms and swiss, no mayo, and a side of fresh cut fries) but my hands were too busy, and messy, to bother with the camera. Next time I'll know better.

They used to make the buns in cake pans from Ricks. Aren't they ridiculously huge? That's where we went to celebrate getting engaged 100 years ago...

Gorgeous. Makes me miss fall, it's just not the same living in Vegas.
