We are off this AM after our brief stay with my horse friend. She was too busy eating this AM to say good-bye. Bryce and David at Stallings Automotive adjusted our trailer brakes so that was a relief that we didn’t need to do brake shoes on all four tires! Whew! Thank You Lord for Your blessings! Bryce also bought the 5 gallons of gasoline we having been dragging around in case we went boondocking and needed more fuel for the generator. That along with a trip to the charity store and the post office to mail home some packages, ended up making us at least 100 lbs lighter. That will help to offset the vacuum cleaner, patio chairs and a ladder we bought. We are stopping at the scale this morning to be sure we are not towing too much weight. We may be like the Western Bound settlers that left things on the trail. 🙂
Well, what a difference a few miles make! We have covered about 35 miles since leaving Rigby. We left the lovely crop land there for the beautiful grassland by the Snake, then on to the arid sage land away from the Snake and then back to the irrigated flat lands with gorgeous alfalfa hay just as far as you can see. As we approach the Lemhi Mountain Range, there is crop land also with miles of a grain crop. It is hard to tell wheat and hops apart. In this area it is probably wheat. When the irrigation runs out, there is sage as far as you can see. The mountains are as majestic as any you have ever seen in America with rugged, broad bases. I would photograph them for you but there is so much haze today it would not come out well.
