Dine on a free potato at Idaho Potato Museum

See the world's largest potato chip at the Idaho Potato Museum and learn how the popular veggies played an important role in the life of President Kennedy. And, even better, with a paid admission you can fill up on a "FREE TATERS FOR OUT-OF-STATERS," as billboards proclaim on roads into the town of Blackfoot, Idaho. The free spud is a large, oven-fresh Russet potato with butter and sour cream. Yum! The Potato Museum provides information on potato history, the growing and harvesting process, nutrition, trivia and educational potato facts. Watch a short video presentation on how the potato industry has developed. The museum is located in downtown Blackfoot at 130 NW Main Street in the old Oregon Short Line Railroad Depot. There's plenty of easy RV parking. Don't miss the gift shop with all kinds of unique potato trinkets. And if you didn't already know, Blackfoot is the "Potato Capital of the World." How about that?

The ‘Precious Moments Complex’ Is Second To None

Our first visit to this incredible place in the early 90’s is deeply etched into our memory. We discovered it by accident, but it has become one of our most 'moving' stops during our 22 years of Fulltime travels. The complex has expanded since our impressive first visit – now it even includes Cubby Bear's Campground.

Artist, Samuael J Butcher was inspired by Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel in Rome. He designed, created and constructed the Precious Moments Chapel as his way of sharing the joy of his faith with the world; it has become his crowning work. If memory serves me well this picture includes many real life physically challenged children that visited the Chapel during the early days.

The Chapel is so much more than just a building, it has touched the lives of those who enter its doors with a sense of peace, hope, and promise since it opened in 1989.

Peruse the website for a moving experience and if your travels take you near Carthage, Missouri, be sure to explore this one of a kind stopping spot.
