RETIREMENT ROAD TOUR #1

Today we explored downtown Boise. It has a nice downtown with lots of places to eat and drink. It’s way cleaner than many cities of similar size in the east. We also went to the Boise Zoo- mainly to see the Red Pandas.

We then headed to Elko by driving south on Hwy-51 which turns into Hwy-225 in Nevada. It is a very remote area with a 100 mile section with no gas. Also much of Hwy-225 parallels the Owyhee River. There is a 10 mile portion of the river which weaves down a narrow canyon and the river has some real velocity.

I was wondering where the steady supply of water originated from. Then we found out.

It’s a good sized body of water. Plenty of RV’s scattered around it. It would be really easy to go off the grid in an RV in Nevada. Lots of places to park for free where nobody would bother you.

Hopefully you pummeled into a bloody pulp the assholes that graffitied all over the place.😡
Or at least tossed them over the edge of the dam.

Some of the Idaho national forest areas in Idaho near Coeur D’Alene were just destroyed 10 years ago when my wife and I last visited. I don’t remember the exact areas, but I remember diapers piled in fire pits near beautiful rivers and glass scattered across camp sites.

That just sucks. I’ve been to the dunes in Idaho and Utah many times and those were absolutely the two cleanest states I had spent time in. Seems like most folks there respected the areas that we were in, but that’s been years ago now. I’m sure with the influx of Californians that it’s gone to shit.
