Day 8 - Ontario to Boise

We started the day by riding across the Snake River into Idaho. Now it's our turn to mug for the camera as we cross into our second state.

Driving along farmland that included fields of peppermint and lavender, we came across one farmer's pickup, stopped next to an irrigation flow.  The farmer's dog was surveying the work being done from what we thought was an unusual vantage point.

We rode for miles along small roads surrounding the outskirts of Boise, and saw many lovely homes.  This one was not only patriotic, but had a penchant for growing roses.

Just as clouds moved in, we arrived in Boise, where many stopped for lunch at a grill along 13th Street in the Hyde Park section of the city.  Our entire group wore our red, white and blue Bike Across America jerseys today.  Here is a picture of three of our international travelers:  Kees from De Wilgen, The Netherlands, Terry from Ontario, Canada, and Brian from Cottsloe, Western Australia.  Brian is riding across America as a leg of his goal to ride his bicycle around the world!

Lastly, Don could not resist a picture before the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, where he has spent many a day, working.  His outfit and mode of transportation were a bit different today!

Tomorrow - Rest Day in Boise!
