Please take the time to leave a comment at the bottom of this blog. I relish the positive ones and will learn from the negative ones.

HAPPINESS is to have EVERYTHING, you need.

Day 1-(5.13.19)-Tripping to Walmart in Burley,ID
We got a very good start to the day, 8:30 for a change. Carla took some very nice pictures along the way. Pictures coming up in a day or two.

We did get to the Walmart and had an excellent evening.

We did a drive by on this beautiful lake, man made as you can see from the man-made dam. Below are remembrances from our canyon views.

Awesome road-views never end.

Today our snow-covered mountains are slowly getting fewer by the mile.

We both enjoyed the shadows made by the clouds over these hills. After 230 miles we finally reach Idaho.

Day 2-(5.14.19)- Tripping to Vale, OR (priv. Campground)

Arrived in Vale after a very uneventful, almost boring ride here. We were originally going to trip to Nampa, ID but the trip tomorrow would be 300 plus miles so we opted to extend this trip a little longer. Tomorrow’s trip will still be long at 260 miles plus but it’s better than what it was going to be. I’m trying to update the blog but the Internet service is really bad for uploading pictures so they will wait till tomorrow.

.

We thought this was a lake but it’s more a reservoir for this town, a big reservoir. Below, it’s a difficult view but this is hundreds of acres of solar panels.

Another long day of the road but we did get off before 2pm. We added about 30 miles to todays trip to reduce the 300 mile trip scheduled for tomorrow. The sign for Oregon (pronounced here as “Or-gan). Below we see how Oregon is reducing eye fatigue by enhancing it’s bridges and overpasses with a creative look. 

Day 3- (5.15.19)-Tripping to Bend, OR

We were up a little earlier than usual to attack this 260 mile trip to Bend, Oregon. Usually for on the road by 9:30, but today, we were on the go at 8:15. We left Vale, ID by viewing a number of murals, all depicting cowboys and Indians.

.

We continue to view so many beautiful lakes. Just past this lake was another solar farm that was so big I could not even guess at the size.
.

Below are a few images of the many picturesque views from the road. The farms were the industries the country is so proud of. From the road they look so pristine it almost  teases the viewer to be part of this industry.

If you’ve noticed for the pictures above and below, there is very little traffic either coming or going. We did the trip on a 2-lane non-divided highway.
