Long Trip for Two Old Men


It was a long trip, but we did it. All in one day.

Randy has moved back home and is living with Maaike. We did this trip to get the stuff he wasn't able to bring with him the first time.

The jig to the north, avoiding the interstate, was on the way there so I could stop at Pickles Place in Arco to buy some of their spices. That was the first time I'd driven along those roads. They were really quiet and Arco appeared to be the sole metroplois along the way. Lots of pretty hills, and a good view of Craters of the Moon National Monument.

The drive through Oregon was also a new one to me, and it didn't even have an oasis like Arco along the way.

Ontario remains an armpit.

This trip also confirms to me that Boise drivers are the rudest and worst in Idaho, even in the wee hours of the morning.

We did see a little snow, particularly on the way out, but it wasn't all that bad. Still glad we did the trip all in one day rather than fight the snow in the morning when it was frozen and crustier.
