November 13

Wrong turn, that must be it; sounds like we are in Vancouver. Rain is okay when the mountains are so near one could touch them, and they have snow on them. No ducks tonight. We are the only people in the campground. There are a few cars around because this is a hot springs camp ground, but they are just here to use the hot springs.

Marg hit two scrap book stores and the cashier was smiling as Marg left the building. I walked to get a new battery for the cell phone and had to go through 4 traffic lights between country blocks to find the battery store in the farthest corner of the last mall. I did get to see Utah Lake but I was not prepared for the cold weather.

Salt Lake City was a blip as we bypassed it. I did get one glimpse of the big church and its mighty spires. I guess I’ll have to buy a cd.

No wifi again. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. There is a big salt lake that Salt Lake City has spread to and so I ask, what is the name of the lake?

Boise is our goal tomorrow. We will stay at Pendleton the following night. There is a great wool mill there. I hope to visit it. Maybe they have rugs or saddle blankets I could use beside my bed. Mind you the last time I was at the mill, I put my hand in a huge wheeled canvas tote to look at buttons and when I brought my hand out I noticed I wasn’t wearing my tri-diamond ring. We spent quite a bit of time emptying this 3 x 4 x 3 foot tote and did not come up with my ring. My first stop will be the lost and found even if it is 9 years since our fun time at Pendleton Woolen Mill.

Thanks for riding along, folks.

Cheers.
