Harry presiding over the Idaho House
making me pay $5 to see it
This is a condensed version of the last 3 days. We left Boardman and went to Farewell Bend State Park in the east of Oregon. It is on the snake river which is very pretty. We relaxed and made burgers on the grill and went to bed. On Friday we moved on and stopped in Boise idaho. Actually a very livable, green city and I can see where one wanting to leave the hubbub of the east would settle there. It is not a hick town at all with enough business to be a great place to bring up a family. We went to the Idaho Capitol building and there was no one there. We crashed the House and Senate chambers and sat in the seats reserved for the speaker of the house and senate president. Pretty immature but kind of fun in a childish way. You sure couldnt do this in the east. Security would have had me behind bars in a flash. Interestingly many Basque (from Spain) immigrants settled in Boise. So we had dinner at a Basque bar and had a delicious lamb grinder and croquettes like in Holland. It was really good. Left Boise and traveled to Mountain Home Idaho where we stayed in a KOA.
Today we finally hit Nevada by going down US93 instead of I-15. We stopped here in Wells Nevada and tomorrow onto Ely Nevada and by Monday we should be back home in Mesquite.
