Friday, 9/11. We rented a mid-sized Mazda this morning and headed for Idaho! The rental rests our old Chevy and makes an adventure of it. Knew we'd take two days but went farther on day one than expected because the seats were more comfortable. Had hoped to stay in Waitsburg, WA, an old favorite little town and sometimes stomping ground in my younger days, but it's dying on the vine, both motels closed. Up the road to Dayton, another fav, and got a room across from the golf course where we like to have breakfast when we're out this way. So we'll do that tomorrow, then the short leg to Lewiston and up the Clearwater to Orofino to see 90 y/o Esther.
Saturday. Sketch and I are raring to go at 7, H is sleeping. So we don't what we usually do. We wait. Maybe we'll go explore.
About 3 hrs. to our destination from here. Lots of good football I'll miss, Notre Dame and Michigan, UCLA and Tennessee, but maybe at the motel tonight I can catch some of USC and Ohio State and, of course, the day's scoreboard.
A beautiful day! It will be a beautiful drive up the Clearwater River to Orofino, one of the under-rated and little known gems in the northwest.
Well, now Sketch went back to sleep. If you can't beat em, join em.
In a motel in Lewiston, a zoo since it ends up being Roundup Days. Catching the last half of a tied UCLA game.
