We have finally arrived in Boise for the next few days. Â Once we entered Nevada, it was a much longer drive than we had expected. Â Actually, I’m not sure the drive was long as much as the fact that the “scenery” was not as exciting. Â There were a few moments, like when we came up on the brush fires in the fields. Â Trucks and firemen were everywhere.
We stopped for the night in Elko, NV. Â I’m not sure exactly where that is but it’s somewhere off I-80 not far from Utah and Idaho. Â Cindy and I walked across the street to the King Buffet to have dinner. Â I wasn’t expecting Chinese food in this town but there it was. Â Food was tasty!
We were up this morning and back on the road by 9:30am. Â We would change time zones again today to Mountain Time (losing an hour) once we enter Idaho.
We left the Interstate for Highway 93 – the scenic drive north through Nevada toward the Idaho border. The road was a good one and the scenery was a bit of a change. Â We stopped at the border to purchaser our trip/fuel permit for Idaho (official papers that let us drive in the state = $180) and continued on our way.
We arrived in Boise this evening and will be here for the next few days. Â Tomorrow will be a very early start for me – 7am radio interview and a NBC News appearance at 12noon. Â I’m not complaining – I love doing these interviews!
