Day 2

I just posted 2 photos. The first is our car just before we left Baker City. Snow was pretty localized. Second is the Snake River from a rest area in Idaho. My most memorable image (with no photo) are the many brown fields with black cows trying to forage.

So.. we were up at 6 again today and on the road by 8. There was snow on our car and light snow along the roads and lots on the hills. By the time we got to Boise it was 50 degrees. (no snow). The traffic was moderate—mostly trucks. It took us a long time to get less than 400 miles due to our rule of "Thou shall stop at every rest area" and a gas stop. Then we had another freeway mixup. Our exit at Twin Falls was under construction and the sign was discreet and we whizzed past. Luckily we had the GPS on and were able to regain the route.
We are at Hampton Inn in Wells, Nevada. One of our favorite hotels and the rooms rate 10 stars. Except no microwave so we'll have to go downstairs to heat up some leftover spaghetti from last night's dinner.

Two. more days of driving (we hope that's all) and no more freeways til Phoenix. 395 through Nevada is our favorite route.
