Day 1
All three dogs knew something was up. After days of preparation, we boarded our Gulfstream for the first leg of our adventure. The Sun Voyager scaled the Cascades easily and negotiated Central Oregon to Burns with an all-too-boring reliability--thankfully. Our first night was spent in the Burns RV Park. Quite a nice little campground, except for the stickers and burrs that all three dogs collected every time we took them for a walk.
Day 2
Headed out about 9:00, Burns to Hagerman, Idaho. Saw a large herd of antelope no more than 100 yards off the highway. The rest of the drive was uneventful unless you get turned on by sagebrush and a lot of brown and tan earth broken up by cornfields and potato plants. We'd had enough by the time we reached Hagerman RV Park. Quite a nice place except for some unusual permeating smell that filled every breath and saturated the motorhome, including bedsheets, and that lasted for a couple of days. Lots of huge feedlots around that area, so probably had something to do with that.
Day 3
Driving from Hagerman, ID to the Tetons for the most part sucked. We think the Idaho highway dept wanted people to get a feel for what it would have been like to drive 65 mph on the original Oregon Trail. Thought the kidneys were permanently bruised and Tip's knuckles permanently white from gripping the steering wheel to keep the motorhome on the road.
