This was a day of driving. Quality time on I-84.
We both made our first appearance in The Gem State: Idaho. Our first purchase there was a dozen chocolate-covered donuts at Wal Mart. No Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts in sight. Yes, we also bought milk to go with them.
Passing Oregon Trail markers along the road, seeing the open plains and passing through the Dalles reminded us of our first computer game: The Oregon Trail. Remember how you could hunt for meat, using the mouse as the scope?
The best view of the day was heading west along the Columbia River between the Dalles and Portland. Unfortunately, this happened at night. The downhill sharp curves at high speeds made it feel like playing a video game. We did have a great view of Mt. St. Helens in front of the setting sun.
Like Mexico, Oregon is full-service at the pump, all the time. They must not think it safe for us to pump our own gas.
