Saturday morning we departed Boise eastbound on I-84 toward
Ogden, Utah. We arrived once again
just ahead of more storms in the Salt Lake area. A quick setup and we were out the door for dinner at a local
Mexican restaurant called Café Rio.
Think of it as Q’doba on steroids – everything was made to order right
in front of you but with a great menu to choose from.

| A short and disappointing stop |

| 3 nice sand dunes, and that's about it |

Sunday we departed eastbound now along I-84 where it joins
I-80 through the Wasatch mountains in moderate rain and fog. Out into Wyoming we continued in
occasional light rain for most of the day. We encountered some strong rain showers near Laramie, WY as
we continued toward Cheyenne, WY for the night at a new KOA.

This morning we departed early continuing along I-80 into
Nebraska, stopping just west of Lincoln, NE for the evening at the Double
Nickel Campground. We are unaccustomed
to the hot weather today as we encountered 100 degrees and strong southwesterly
winds making the drive challenging.
We pulled into the campsite, plugged in only the electric power and are
now inside (most likely for the rest of the day). Tomorrow we plan to move closer to home but not make all
they way as we have some tasks to complete in preparation for our arrival home.
Sorry, no pictures today with the high temps and high winds it was all we could do to hang on! Getting closer to home makes us less inclined to take pictures, I guess.
