We drove from St. Regis to Missoula on I-90 before heading South on RT93.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This day of driving through Idaho on RT93 was the most interesting and amazing driving day for us so far. The landscape was incredibly beautiful and ever-changing. JJ had a blast! And that made me happy too. This road deserves a motorcycle trip and frequent stops along the way. There were many RV parks and a good number of them had excellent cell phone reception as well. If we can fit it in, we need to come back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN1.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN1-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN2.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN2-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN3.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RN3-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended up in Arco, ID, which is a small town I had never heard of before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arco,_Idaho\">Arco<\/a> is named after the German Georg von Arco, who was an inventor and a pioneer in the field of radio transmission and would become the lead engineer at Telefunken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arco also was the first city in the world powered by nuclear energy. The whole area and nearby Idaho National Laboratory have a rich history in the nuclear industry. The first nuclear reactor for a submarine was built there. On January 3, 1961, a nuclear reactor was destroyed through an operator error and 3 people lost their lives. It was the world\u2019s first and the United States\u2019 only fatal reactor accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was wondering why JJ was glowing in the dark\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/j2rolling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Arco-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting find: Right next to the KAO was an \u201calternative\u201d RV park called \u201cHoney\u201d.
