Interstate Roads

There were numerous people launching boats into the river to go fishing.  They started at 6am this morning - the launch ramp was right near our motorhome.  But there was just one loud one with a diesel engine that woke us up.  The boats they were launching were interesting - they almost all were double ended dory like boats like you would see down in the maritimes.  We passed a fish hatchery along the river later on, so I guess that is where all the fish were coming from, because there were hundreds of people fishing in this one river.

We got away at about 10pm and drove down Routes 95 and 55 to Boise where we stopped at the AAA office and got some maps and had a late lunch.  The country side varied between grasslands, forests, farmlands, and desert.  At Boise we hit I84.  The roads we have travelled so far were really good two lane roads with minimal traffic.  We could go along at a leisurely pace, and see the countryside very well.  The interstates are a different experience.  We are pushed along by the traffic, and passed by everyone else including truck after truck.  I84 seems to be not as bad as most, however, so we are not doing too badly.

Doreen is already, the last few mornings, saying in the mornings she wants to go home - but this seems to ware off by breakfast time, so I hope it will pass.  The rest of the day she seems pretty good.

We are stopped along I84 at a McDonalds to use their WiFi.  It's almost lunch time, but we'll head on down I84 for a little more before stopping for lunch.
