Hi all. We made it to Boise Idaho today; not a very long drive, about 3.5 hours but we did stop at the Snake River and took some pictures and enjoyed one of the stops along the Oregon trail. Weather has been in the mid 80s everyday which makes for great driving. Included are some pictures of our travels so far. Love to all. The Perrys [View Full Entry]

Yesterday we went on a tour of the Filer area. The Hooleys are great tour guides, I must admit. We went and hiked around a local rock formation. Next we saw a local alligator and fish farm. The alligators were huge! I believe they grow them until they are pretty large, then sell the meat at a local restaurant. We also visited a local spring and fish hatchery. We were able to walk around and see all the different sizes of fish. They even had a viewing window in one of the ponds where there were salmon, trout, and sturgeon. The [View Full Entry]

Today started out as another cold day of riding, nothing new though looking at the trend this last week. I did not hit any rain today, which was a nice change. The scenery was very nice today, especially around the Salt Lake City area. Going up toward Idaho things get a little more sparse and barren, but it is still a decent drive. It was nearly all interstate today, as I needed to make some good time. I wasn’t able to get a hold of Dale to see if they would be around tonight, so I called Andy Hooley and he [View Full Entry]

Writing this a day late as no internet at our last overnight stop and little wonder. Another fine day leaving Boise after a so so nights sleep.The cold I caught had got hold so it was a night of stuffy noses and a noisy air conditioner resulting in a fitful sleep for us both. Anyway a good breakfast at the Super 8 motel and we were on our way early with a straight run down I 84 to Mountain Home (yes that is the name of the town although not sure why) and a visit to Albertsons Pharmacy for cold medication [View Full Entry]

idaho*. haha i know...but really who could have known what a wonderful place it is. guiding was fun but the people and the place were what really made it. quote of the summer: "we are all alone, but we are looking for people and places so we are not lost." the west is full of beautiful, enticing places that make me want to shout that THIS is America. the "wild west" so silly that Texans consider themselves cowboys and country when texas is dominated by sprawling city. control that and then we can move on because we are losing our wild [View Full Entry]

We left California and started the long journey east. We were planning to go to Yellowstone, so decided on a route that took us through Oregon and Idaho so we could see a couple more national parks that had caught our interest, namely Crater Lake in Oregon and Craters of the Moon in Idaho. The pictures of Crater Lake that we had seen were absolutely stunning, a fantastic deep blue lake surrounded by the steep walls of a massive crater. The weather was not fantastic when we left California, so we were hoping it would clear up so we could see [View Full Entry]

A golfer's dream is to enter a golf course that has been, or still is, a location for the PGA tour. I have played Torrey Pines in San Diego with my dad after placing our golf bags on the deck at 4:00 am, sleeping in the car for an hour and a half in the parking lot, just to hear our names called to the tee for a 6:15 tee time. Three summers ago I visited the home of golf, St. Andrews, to see Tiger Woods beat out Scotland's own Collin Montgomery, and the Golden Bear, Jack Nickalaus, retired waving one [View Full Entry]
