Driving Days

We had a beautiful drive from Idaho to Provo, UT. There was snow on the mountains and some times on the ground close enough to touch, but it didn't lay on the road. I took a lot of pictures on this drive and on our arrival in Provo, so I thought I'd post them as a video for something different.

We would've loved to have stayed in the Provo/Salt Lake City area longer because there is so much to see and do here - the Capitol, Uinta Brewing, Mormon Temple, Timpanagos Cave, and more. But, we realized that we were really craving some warm weather! We miss exercising and wearing shorts and feeling the heat of the sun. I know, we're soft! But we just feel it's time for a change...so today we drove to the southern border of Utah to St George.

It was a full driving day for us. But we had to get some work done, so we stopped at a rest area for lunch and put up the dish! This is why we have satellite!
We were able to get on the road early and still get to check the market for potential trades before the market closed. Perfect.

And now we are all toasty warm again...the weather forecast is in the 80's. Yea!

We're still in Idaho

We ended up spending two extra nights in Boise because we didn't want to drive in the winds and rains that have been hitting the area. Yesterday we were lucky enough to have a beautiful drive to Declo, ID. It was sunny in the valley where the highway was, but we could see snow on the mountains to the north and south of us. It was quite beautiful. I love it - when I'm not driving in it!

We reached our campground just before the expected winds arrived. They've been around 20-30mph with stronger gusts. Not fun to drive in when you're a 11' tall box. Here's a picture of our view of the local mountains. I think it's almost time for skiing?!Idaho is a very pretty state. We would love to explore more of it, but now is not the time. It will stay on our list of places to return to.

This picture is for Andy's Mom - she just adores squirrels! Ha! Not in the least. But this lil guy was stuffing his mouth with a papery bark to take home to pad his nest.
We should be in Salt Lake City this afternoon....

Boise, ID

We were blessed with glorious sunshine the first couple of days here in Boise. It wasn't necessarily warm, but there was the sun to lift our spirits. One day after work, we went into town and rode our bikes along the Greenbelt Trail which allowed us to see some of the city, parks, and Boise State University campus.
But today the weather has turned. It is damp and cold and this morning at breakfast I looked out the window only to see that the nearby mountains now have a white coating on them they didn't have the other day. We still haven't decided on the best route to cross the Rockies yet - stay north and go thru Cheyenne, WY....or go south thru Utah to Albuquerque...or go south to Vegas, then east. While we decide, we're taking care of car and RV maintenance before moving on.
