Montana to Idaho in one day.

We left the campground this morning around 7:45 am. It was cloudy for a couple of hours but we finally came across some blue skies which stayed with us for the rest of the day.

We climbed and descended a lot of hills/mountains today; a couple of 3-mile 6% grade hills and one 5-mile 6% grade hill. That made me pretty nervous but David says the rig took it all in stride. He loves this diesel pusher with air brakes. We went through some really pretty country; rolling hills and wide open country. When we crossed into Idaho, we were in a mountain pass with trees everywhere. The landscape had changed quite a lot.

We have stopped for the night at a campground in Osburn, Idaho. It's a very very small town; there's not much here. At least they had a grocery store as we needed to pick up a few basic things we were out of like bread, butter and cheese.

There is a bike path that runs through here which is on par with the bike paths in Ottawa; at least this section in Osburn. The campground manager told me it is a 72 mile bike path and the section which runs through here is very nicely paved. I know because we went for a short ride. We haven't been outside much since we left Ottawa. We are now in the Pacific Time Zone. So far we have crossed the States of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, and Idaho. There are no pictures today but we did drive 426 miles.
