Day Three



            Today’s focus was distance rather than sightseeing because after Multnomah Falls (breathtaking!) and the Columbia River Gorge (spectacular!), there really wasn’t anything to stop for since the national historic sites and parks remain closed due to the government shutdown.  Flat scrub land followed by hilly scrub land followed by low mountain scrub land pretty much sums up six hours of driving.
            But we did land in Boise for the night at a Hampton Inn.  After a delicious dinner at Applebee’s here I am, blogging, and almost falling asleep despite the early hour.  Today, besides crossing the 45th parallel, we crossed over into the Mountain Time Zone. 
            The poster of Multnomah Falls that I purchased at the gift shop there along with the placemat of a beach on the Oregon Coast will serve as lovely reminders of the first three days of travel from Whidbey Island to Bartlesville, Oklahoma.  I think we’re close to mile 1,000 now.
