Ontario, rest day

Gone to look for America Posted on September 30, 2023 by mevSeptember 30, 2023

A quiet rest day here in Ontario. It wasn’t very windy here. There were a few drops of rain but nothing severe. Tomorrow I expect it to be windy with headwinds but do not have as far to go. The … Continue reading →

Ontario, Oregon!

Gone to look for America Posted on September 29, 2023 by mevSeptember 29, 2023

Today was a beautiful day of riding. Sunny, not too hot or cold and not much wind. I crossed growing suburbs west of Boise before getting to rural roads that zig zagged me back to the Snake River. At end … Continue reading →

Boise, across the gap to the capitol

Gone to look for America Posted on September 28, 2023 by mevSeptember 28, 2023

Today was a somewhat longer day. Sunrise isn’t until 7:30am so each day I’m getting out a bit later. Also there was a moderate headwind in middle of the day. There is a gap between Mountain Home and Boise where … Continue reading →

Mountain Home, easy riding

Gone to look for America Posted on September 27, 2023 by mevSeptember 28, 2023

Today was a short easy ride. From here there is a gap until Boise that I plan for tomorrow. I left the Snake River and climbed ~500ft up to this larger town. Early morning departure as the school buses were … Continue reading →

Glenns Ferry, along the Oregon Trail

Gone to look for America Posted on September 26, 2023 by mevSeptember 26, 2023

Today was an easy ride that ended up losing 1000ft as I came along the Snake River further downstream. I also had multiple signs related to the Oregon Trail as apparently early pioneers were along the same route. Towards afternoon … Continue reading →

Buhl, famous potatoes

Gone to look for America Posted on September 25, 2023 by mevSeptember 25, 2023

It is potato harvest time. I saw many “Spudnik” trucks heaped with potatoes and a few places they were harvesting. I also saw hay/clover trucks. My route today was a mix of rural roads, interstate frontage roads and crossing Twin … Continue reading →

Burley, to the Snake River

Gone to look for America Posted on September 24, 2023 by mevSeptember 24, 2023

Today was an easy ride and the third day of a sequence to reach the Snake River. I expect somewhat larger towns until Boise, though there may also be a little interstate riding through sparse areas. I enjoyed my Airbnb … Continue reading →

Malta, across to Idaho

Gone to look for America Posted on September 23, 2023 by mevSeptember 24, 2023

Today is the second day of three crossing from Utah to the Snake River Valley. This is a remote area without much population but I found a spot in Malta that is a good stopping point. It was cold last … Continue reading →

Snowville, railroads, rockets and Rattlesnake Pass…

Gone to look for America Posted on September 22, 2023 by mevSeptember 24, 2023

It rained yesterday – so a good choice to take a rest day. It was dry this morning so I guessed I avoided the rain for today. Unfortunately, I had three showers today. The first I mostly avoided by making … Continue reading →

Brigham City, rest day

Gone to look for America Posted on September 21, 2023 by mevSeptember 21, 2023

Taking a rest day in Brigham City. Looking at the weather forecasts and my route choices, this seems like the best alternative. This is a nice spot to take break with restaurants and a Walmart nearby.
