We made it to California and the race track. That was an interesting place to say the least. It wasn't what I thought it would be, but then again we were on the back end of the track, not where the public goes. We didn't see any race horses, but did see a lot of hay and recycled hay, also known as horse apples.
From California we were sent to...not Oregon, but to Idaho. The roads we took were some that I hadn't been on since I was in high school and went hunting with my dad. Things hadn't changed much in 50 years. The buildings were just older.
The small town of McGill, Nevada is just a bump in the road. You blink twice and you are on the other side of town. A lot of the buildings there are very old and quaint. One of my classmates from high school lives here. She is lucky to live in a small town and not have to worry too much about crime, for everyone knows each other.
Yep, that is snow on them there mountains and winter isn't even here yet. It has been very cool in the daytime as we head towards Idaho. I am not ready for winter, even though I have our winter gear on the truck with us. It doesn't hurt to be ready for any type of weather when we are out here, especially when we are in the months of Fall. Maybe we will head South and stay warm. ..Just a thought...
As we were going into Idaho we were on this road that had the strangest overpasses. They looked as if someone squished them from the top. It was almost as if you could picture yourself going into a snakes belly, but could see daylight on the other side. There were several of these as we continued on to our destination.
As we traveled on Scenic Highway (US) 30 out of Twin Falls, Idaho we saw some of the most beautiful sights. There were waterfalls all along one stretch of cliffs. One right after another. There were camp grounds along the river that you could camp and fish. This is one of the places that I would like to return to in a little baby truck to enjoy the beauty.
Now in Smity's Country Store you can buy just about anything, including Flies. Now why someone would want to pay for those pests I have no idea. I guess some people will buy anything just to say they bought it. But, then again, maybe Smity is saying that there is flies and to beware or just where they are landing. This needs to be investigated in more detail.
You can go from one type of beauty to another. Here I can picture a wagon train coming across the land and the Indians following them to see if they stay or go. It is almost as if you can step back in time and see the Old West.
It is time to stop and feed the driver. I will write more later, so until then ...I will see you on the Other side.
