We have finally arrived in Boise for the next few days.  Once we entered Nevada, it was a much longer drive than we had expected.  Actually, I’m not sure the drive was long as much as the fact that the “scenery” was not as exciting.  There were a few moments, like when we came up on the brush fires in the fields.  Trucks and firemen were everywhere.

We stopped for the night in Elko, NV.  I’m not sure exactly where that is but it’s somewhere off I-80 not far from Utah and Idaho.  Cindy and I walked across the street to the King Buffet to have dinner.  I wasn’t expecting Chinese food in this town but there it was.  Food was tasty!

We were up this morning and back on the road by 9:30am.  We would change time zones again today to Mountain Time (losing an hour) once we enter Idaho.

We left the Interstate for Highway 93 – the scenic drive north through Nevada toward the Idaho border. The road was a good one and the scenery was a bit of a change.  We stopped at the border to purchaser our trip/fuel permit for Idaho (official papers that let us drive in the state = $180) and continued on our way.

We arrived in Boise this evening and will be here for the next few days.  Tomorrow will be a very early start for me – 7am radio interview and a NBC News appearance at 12noon.  I’m not complaining – I love doing these interviews!
