14.5 hours later..

Today we had our first of three long days. We drove 988 miles from La Grande OR to Boulder CO. That may sound like a lot... and yes, it was... but it wasn't as bad as you would think. First of all, Roarie had to assume her comfort position...

She actually stayed there almost all 14.5 hours... And then we were off... Into Idaho, down through Utah, and across the Rocky Mountains...

They weren't so rocky where we crossed them :) And then up through Wyoming.

And then we crossed onto I 80, where we would stay the rest of the time, if we weren't staying in Boulder :)

We turned south, and stopped on the other side of the Rockies (just in time for the sunset) where we'll be for the next 3 days! That's good, because while it was a fun ride, we could use a rest from driving ....

Oh, and on the way we had to stop at Little America hotel and gas station for some 50 cent cones ...
