Where Idaho meets Mr. Washington

So we are a good five days in on the trip, covered 55 the first day, 52 the second, 48 the third, 90 the fourth and 80 the fifth. Slowly warming up to the idea of tugging a ton of extra weight made for an interesting few days. Every big meal seems to be as amazing as the next and camping each night is half the battle. We stayed in spider infested bushes in the desert, a couple state parks, and in someones backyard for a night... Puttering through you can meet some interesting people willing to lend an extra hand. Some places it was firewood and others it was a place to sleep and free drinks. These quarky little towns draw out some strange folk, but that is the fun of it. Oregon took a while to burn through, random weather, random people and plenty of tom foolery to go around. Washington blew by in a couple days and we are walking distance from the Idaho border leading to Lewiston right now. We have the 12 ahead of us and 218 miles of absolute nothingness till Missoula Montana. We are making our way to Yellow Stone from there, but we are climbing some elevation from here on out. Looking forward to the ride, locals say it is pretty nice. Had a cool car show last night too. Derek and Jared got a couple pitchers of beer on the house and we are forecasted rain for the next couple days. Wish us luck.
