Switching Gears

High to Low
Fast to Slow
Rat Race to Snail's Pace
Work Rush to Sage Brush

Our out west relocation adventure begins.

It took us eight days to arrive in Idaho.
Of course, we were driving a Semi Truck and being followed by our friends in our pick up truck with our 5th wheel RV, and we stopped to visit friends in Indianna and Iowa.  And, we toured the Badlands, Wall Drug, Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park in South Dakota. We also spent two nights in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons National Park.

Amazing views!  Wonderful waterfalls and wildlife!!!  I love the buffalo!  And seeing the bald eagle catching fish was cool too.  Overall, the trip was not as grueling as I had anticipated and I really did have a great time sight seeing.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip:

We arrived in Idaho on Monday, August 20th.

On Tuesday, Doris spent time with her good friend, Debbie and Debbie's family; I got the RV set up and cleaned and laundry done, while Bryan and Brian Runk started the work of intalling the septic system on our property.

Wednesday and Thursday, Doris and I explored the "closer" towns of Weiser & Ontario, Oregon and Mcall. 

And Friday, we all drove to Boise for dinner and to take Brian and Doris to a hotel by the airport for their early Sat. a.m. flight back to PA.

We are extremely grateful that Brian and Doris Runk, (our friends & neighbors in Huntingdon, PA) agreed to join us on our journey west.  We had a great time along the way, and Brian's help with getting the septic system installed was much appreciated!
