July 3-10
Idaho, Washington, Montana
- Decided to fly out of Little Rock instead of Memphis because tickets were much cheaper. We stayed the night at a hotel near the airport and took a shuttle to catch our flight. We were able to leave the car in the hotel parking lot for the week.
- Arriving in Boise, Idaho (famous for potatoes!), we picked up the rental car (maroon Hyundai Sonata) and hit up the local Wal-Mart for supplies (we know it's an evil place but we generally don't have a choice). We donated $103 to the local economy. After shopping, we tore into some Mexican at a place called Casa Mexicano. Concensus = overpriced, mediocre Mexican (and we are authorities on good Mexican).
- Head to McCall, ID (pop 3,000). It was getting late, so we stopped and camped at Ponderosa State Park. Picturesque (massive Ponderosa Pines everywhere) but crowded (lots of screaming children). $20 for a campsite (#77) and $10 for 2 bundles of wood. Watched the sun set over the lake, around 9:15 pm.
- Dinner was veggie burgers grilled over the fire.
- Beer of the day: Moose Drool Brown Ale (Big Sky Brewing Co) and Loft Ale. Also, PBR as the non-BOD.
- Darkness set in at 10:25 MST
- Mileage 120
