We made it to Boise!  The drive from the Salt Lake area (we stayed in Ogden) was nicer than we recalled from five years ago.  The Utah part takes you through rolling hills that were mostly green today.  The Idaho part is mostly high-desert scrub, primarily brown.   The speed limit is 80 for most of the drive.  🙂

Over the weekend we plan to hit a few favorite places, check out the market, take in at least one movie and otherwise chill out.  We expect the high temperatures to be in the eighties, which is most welcome after being in the deep south, mid-west and south-west for more than two weeks.

On Monday the car gets a ‘spa day’ at the dealer. We picked up a bunch of bug splats, of course, but also some goo that might be tar and might be berries or similar.  Plus we have a chip in the windshield to tend to.  We’ve driven over 3K miles so far and the exterior of the car is showing it.

And then on to Washington state!  Unless something amazing happens, we won’t post for a few days.  Mañana…
