After 5 days of hard driving, we are in Mountain Home, Idaho. We are within a day of home, but we may not get there as there are 11 wildfires currently burning in Central and Eastern Oregon. We need to go directly through the area to get to the Willamette Valley.

It seems that while we were away enjoying the rain and lightening storms in New Hampshire, they were enjoying a dry heat wave and lightening storms which set off the 11 wildfires covering several thousands of acres all told... I hope this isn't a bad year for fires!

I was stationed there in the 1970's. Take rte 20 and for a short trip, go to Anderson Ranch Dam and reservoir. Beautiful area. Or drive to Sun Valley. or go southeast of the town to Bruneau Canyon, then continue to the C J Strike Dam and back to Mt Home. or go to Boise and enjoy the beautiful park.

Yeah, I loved the area.

Hope you don't get delayed too much.
