Monday, June 11th - Driving to Boise, Idaho

Got away from Lewiston, Washington just after 9am and stopped in the little town of Lapwai, Idaho for a nice breakfast at a roadside cafe. A local fellow mentioned that we should think twice about driving our coach on the road south of McCall, Idaho. Very sharp turns and road construction. We listened to what he said and decided to make our own decision when we got to New Meadows. McCall is a haven for the wealthy and, according to our friend, Ken Tilton, we should eat a meal at Bistro 45 in McCall. That was our plan.

We drove thru some beautiful rolling hills and canyons enroute to New Meadows. The pic above is a field of canola growing. The pic to the left is a Bed & Breakfast in Cottonwood, Idaho. Guests actually stay inside the beagle building. Gypsy, our real-life beagle was not amused.

As we approached the decision point, there was a sign warning of delays and hazardous conditions south of McCall. So we bypassed McCall and stayed on US-95 until it connected up with I-84 and on in to Boise.

We are parked at the Boise Wal*Mart. This is the first time I have ever seen a SIGN directing RV'ers where to set-up camp at Wal*Mart. Yes, folks, we ARE welcome at WallyWorld and we DO shop there.
