Day 9

Not the best day. Woke up to the sound of icy rain on the car. When we got moving, it was so foggy that we couldn’t see much of anything (Randal said that he’s been through Washington twice now and hasn’t gotten to see it yet). Then we get to Oregon. I don’t like Oregon. I’ve been there, crossed it off my list of states unvisited, and never need to go there again. Their welcome sign was the crummiest sign I’ve seen yet (yes, I have been taking pictures of every state sign, with the exception of MS which I apparently did not know how to work the camera well enough to capture it). Looked no different from any other street sign. Then there were crummy little towns that we had to go through. Then we couldn’t even get any road condition information. So finally, after forever, we got out of that state. Idaho had an open visitor center (shock) with a great little book from which we decided Twin Falls would be our destination for the night. It got dark before we got there and there was a very Christmassy house along the way that would have almost rivaled the Osborne light, but of course no place to pull off and take pictures. We got to Twin Falls too late to see anything so we got a hotel and planned for a full day tomorrow.
