| August 27 - Tuesday Salt Lake City, Utah to Boise, Idaho It has been getting a little more disorganized each day! |
 |
| We saw a couple of these car washes as we headed out of town. Quite the style statement. |
 |
| Antelope Island Road, a piece of peace in close proximity to a million people. |
 |
| And what it looks like on the map. |
 |
| Unlike the Great Lakes, the Great Salt Lake is a little low this year. |
 |
| There's the lake. It must be coffee break time for the birds. |
 |
| The black spots on the rock and all that black on the ground are brine midges. They don't bite and just flowed around our shoes as we walked by here, very weird. |
 |
| A view from the visitor center. |
 |
| What a nice and thoughtful touch! |
 |
| Timing is everything even when it is mostly accidental. |
 |
| There is a herd of real buffalo on the island as well but we didn't see them. |
 |
| We are jealous of these riders but it is time to continue our journey home. |
 |
| Back to the remoteness. |
 |
| Our lunch stop in Snowville, Utah. The meal was delicious and BIG. |
 |
| Almost as soon as we crossed the border it started getting greener with a lot more farming. |
 |
| Our motel was in downtown Boise so we walked to dinner and did some sightseeing along the way to and from. |
 |
| We were impressed with the bike facilities they have added since we biked through here in 2007. |
 |
| And there were a lot of people on bikes, too. |
 |
| Part of the Freak Alley Gallery |
 |
| We found Lincoln again which seemed appropriate for our last night on the road. |
 |
| It was just too tempting. It did have a nice tone. |
 |
| The husband of the woman that took this picture rang the bell too when his group gathered around the bell for a picture. Must be a guy thing. |
 |
| Thank you, Boise, for a very pleasant evening. |
 |
| August 28 - Wednesday Boise, Idaho to Sweet Home, Oregon It is nice to be back on our home turf. We only took a few pictures after this since we had better ones from our bike trip in 2007. It was also quite smoky almost all the way to Burns. As always, it was so nice to have the tall trees of our forest welcome us home as we crossed the Cascades. Thank you for sharing this journey with us! |
 |
| The Total Trip June 30 to August 28 We touched 16 states and 1 Canadian province. We biked 1,222 miles (Selkirk Loop and Canada) We drove 6,300 miles Family time - invaluable! |
