Day 70: Thursday April 7 Three Island Crossing State Park Glenn’s Ferry, ID
Glenn’s Ferry was a ferry for
the pioneers. Before the ferry, they
made the dangerous ford across the Snake River at this spot. We found our campsite, then went for a walk
down along the river. We saw lots of
birds here, as well as ducks. Sarah got
to go stick fetching in the river, which is so wonderful for her! We saw a replica of the ferry that was used
here. On the way back to our campsite,
we took a short cut through the weeds, ending up getting ticks on Sarah and
even a couple on Jim! I had one on my
pants leg. Ugh!

We went to the museum at
Glenn’s Ferry before leaving in the morning.
There was lots of historical information about the area and about the
Oregon Trail. Sculptures in the entry to
the museum were modeled after rock art figures in Indian petroglyphs.
