Eastward Ho, Saturday

On our second consecutive travel day, Saturday, we got an early start, about 8:00 o'clock. We crossed into Southern Idaho where most of the land was rather flat. We could see some mountains in the distance on both our left and right, but generally Interstate 84 missed the mountains. We drove through areas where they were growing lots of hay and we saw many dairy farms. The patterns in the newly cut hay fields presented a pretty sight.


As you might expect, we also saw lots and lots of potato fields as we crossed Idaho.

We then entered Utah where the Interstate turned East and the landscape turned into red rock formations as is characteristic of Utah.


After cutting across the Northeast corner of Utah, we left those red hills and entered Wyoming where we stopped at Evanston, Wyoming, for the night. We did make up for yesterday . . . we covered a little over 400 miles in our second consecutive day on the road.

I was tired and it was certainly time to shut down.
