BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We set out from home yesterday morning at 8 a.m. and had a quick border crossing.  It only took 7 minutes and the agent checked inside the rig looking for contraband and prohibited produce (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and unidentified apples).  Our apples didn’t have stickers but he let us keep them anyway.

Stuart drove first and the drive through Spokane was a bit slow with Saturday morning traffic, but once we hit I 90 we made good time.  We switched driving once and travelled all the way to Hermiston, Oregon which is just south of the Columbia River, north of I-84 and 45 minutes west of Pendleton.  The RV park was nice for an overnight and it was quite warm at 21 degrees.

We headed out at 8:22 this morning and drove all the way to Mountain Home, Idaho about 35 miles south east of Boise.  Again, we have a nice RV park for the night and this would be a good place to spend a couple of days if we had more time and the promise of good weather.  It was sunny here and the afternoon temperature was 24 so we sat out in the sun for a while after all our “set up” chores.

We’re headed to Ely, Nevada tomorrow.  It should be sunny but will probably be cold at night, down to freezing or maybe below.  That’s our one cold stop and then it’s home free to Boulder City the next day.  It’s all good so far.
