Reassurance shield a couple miles later as we enter Franklin County

Location: US-91 and W 4400 North, Franklin Cty

As we enter the Cache Valley and Franklin County, we’ll pick up the Mormon county road numbering scheme, with its oh too logical grids. We’re into thick Mormon country here- Logan UT is one of the (if not the) most Mormon cities in Utah/the world, and we’re just 30 miles north and within the same valley at this point

Location: US-91 and Hot Springs Rd, Franklin Cty

Reassurance shield as we prepare to cross over the Bear River

Location: US-91 and N 800 W, Preston

A few miles later, we’ll enter Preston, home of Napoleon Dynamite. I looked pretty carefully within the town- six years after the fact there is no indication that the movie was filmed here

Location: US-91 and SH-34, Preston

Just after we enter Preston, we’ll approach Idahos 34 and 36

Location: US-91 and SH-34, Preston

Turn left for 34 North and 36 East. Stay straight for 91 South and 36 West. The two routes will concur through Preston. 34 will end here

Location: US-91 and SH-34, Preston

Follow 91 South and 36 West towards Logan Utah, 34 North towards Soda Springs, and 36 East towards Montpelier

Location: US-91 and SH-34, Preston

Turn left for 34 North/36 West. 34 North takes a circuitous path that eventually lands it in Wyoming’s Star Valley, near Freedom WY. Idaho 36 East heads to Montpelier, while 91 South and 36 West will head in to the main part of Preston
