Day minus 3 -- Late afternoon in Boise
We're taking an extended break from the road - to catch some lunch and do a few errands and watch some "march madness" basketball. The NCAA basketball final four game starts around 4:30 local time, so we plan to watch some of the game while relaxing and eating.
We woke-up to cold rain in Pendelton this morning. This became serious snow fall as we climbed up and over the Blue Mountains. Tough going, but no real trouble. Adverse road conditions lasted well past Baker City. Finally, once Alex switched to driving, the weather broke and we had clear but cold sailing out of Oregon and into Idaho.
The BioDiesel Mercedes has been running good, but we're not going to be able to find Bio fuel easily. So, regular diesel fuel now has to be our standard.
At Baker City we stopped to find the local US Post Office and mail some packages to Dylan and Nicole and Pablo. Trouble was, the US Post Office isn't opened any more on Saturday in Baker City. Too bad cause I was really proud of myself for driving blindly into town and getting within 1 block of the Post Office. Luckily we were able to find a nice coffee shop and then a "Ship It" kind of store that does UPS packages.
