| Idaho, on the way to Utah | ||
| We left Yakima on Oct. 18, 2005 and headed for Nampa, ID (just outside Boise.) It was a longer drive than we usually like in a day, and we lost an hour switching to Mountain Time, but we made it to our campsite just around sunset, and had a nice dinner. The 19th was a resting day. On Oct. 20th we headed across Idaho and some of Utah for Sandy, a town just south of Salt Lake City. This was a slightly shorter drive, and we were camped by about 4PM. | ||

Idaho, through the windshield. Most of our view of Idaho was pretty flat. |

The Idaho we crossed on the trip home was different from the one we crossed on the trip east. | |
|
A year ago we crossed near the southern part of the state, which is mostly flat; this time we crossed the northern "panhandle" which is in the Rocky Mountains. |

Some of the roads are so steep that, every couple of miles, there are "Runaway Truck Zones" to help truck stop if their brakes fail. |
