On the road

We drove to Baker City, Oregon, yesterday; got a late start from SLC (12:30) so got in about 9 MDT and 8 PDT. The hour change was welcomed this morning!
A long, hot, beautiful drive, fields and fields of corn along with some other crops. The change from desert to farmed land is quick and startling. A brief rainstorm came along, enough to mess up the front window, but not much else.
Wide open land, big sky country - soothing to the soul as we drive along.  We stopped every 2 to 3 hours to let Murphy run around and then for dinner in Boise (Outback). Roads were excellent and, other than an occasional one-lane due to construction, made good time.

We stopped outside of Boise - got a couple of land/sky photos.  Also brought one from home of Fuzzy grooming himself as he watched us pack up.
Off to Manzanita today - looks like another blue sky day.



I kept coming back to this substation outlined by dark storm clouds. Finally took a photo and decided perhaps B&W would work.  Kind of boring but I liked it :-)
