November 14

Driving today reminds me of when I golfed. I could never go up the fairway. I always zigged and zagged. Okay golfers and all my other fans, what would zigged and zagged be in golf swing language. The wind was mighty strong and we drove further due to steering corrections and we lost gas mileage, too. The price of diesel is rising as we come northwest.

I am trying to figure out why all the motor homes we saw today were heading in the opposite direction. There were oodles of semi’s again.

The sunshine was warm; the breeze was bloody cold and the scenery was enjoyable.

We started driving with slushy snow on the side of the roads. Old SOL took care of that once he came around the clouds and out from behind the tall snow capped mountains with icing sugar sprinkled to the base.

We encountered the Snake River which is an old s river and we crossed it about 4 times in our travels. The first time we caught the slithery Snake R. it was just a normal river flowing between its banks. Eventually we caught up with the Snake when it was in one of its canyons. The Snake is a river of many skins.

Utah is a land of wondrous geography and when sunshine, blue sky and snow are added the scenery is magnificent.

Idaho has vast valleys and mountains in the distance. Use of the land is paramount. Hay is grown in huge fields, cows are roamin’ the range and of course one cannot forget that other in ground crop. So, all you farmers out there in blog land, what is that crop?

Our camp spot is in an industrial area which was disclosed. The description forgot to say that it is the 5th lane of a 4 lane highway!

Well, it’s getting to that time. What did I buy and what have I forgotten to add to my list because I forgot I bought it (hee, hee). What did I buy in Canada and what in the States?
My uncle in Kingston gave me a bottle of wine which he made. I wonder how that will be handled.

Cheers from Boise Idaho and heading to Oregon.
