Day 16: On the Road Again

After being well rested, well fed from my free breakfast, and feelin’ good I took off bright and early. It was another bluebird day sunny and crisp outside with the snow sparkling and mountains you could see forever from. I was sad to leave Wyoming and the last decent steak I figured I would have for a long time. I think I had gained at least 7 pounds on this trip due to my gorging on red meat and game.

Leaving Wyoming for Idaho and then Oregon, it was beautiful to see the mountains change in shape and type. Tall craggy ones in Wyoming, to generally more rounded and less defined. After a while, the snow disappeared and then reappeared as I went between ranges.

About Twin Falls I ran out of audio books. The last one I listened to was, “Shit My Dad Says”, which parts of are laugh out loud funny! Other parts are amusing stories and antedotes and a few heart warming moments. I highly recommend the book or audio book. In Boise I stopped at a borders and got two final audio books, “Earth (The book): A Visitor’s guide to the Human Race” by Jon Stewart and “My Life in France” by Julia Child. I started off with Jon Stewart and his Daily Show gang. It was somewhat humorous and kept me going till it was time to stop.

I made it as far as Baker City, Oregon before it started getting dark and snowing and I decided to call it a night. It was a long day of driving that went by fast with the great scenery and entertaining stories. I was glad to stop for the night and prepare for the big day; seeing my new home.
