Going West

14th September Travel to Boise

We left the volcanic landscape of the Great Rift and travelled west to Boise near the state line between Idaho and Oregon.  We found a nice peaceful camp site in Marsing by the Snake River, which just happens to be in the Idaho Wine valley region – nice!

15th September Marsing

Idaho Wine Valley vineyards – well, it would be rude not to visit at least one wouldn’t it!

So we spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon at Ste Chapelle Vineyard, tasting 10 different wines between us – very nice too! We left with three bottles of wine and two glasses.
 
State number 26!

16th September Travel to Bend, Oregon

Off we set for State number 26 – Oregon.  We travelled 330 miles to Bend, mostly on Hwy 20, some of which was part of the old “Oregon Trail”.  It has to be said there wasn’t much between Marsing and Bend – few towns and the landscape is un-dramatic, straight roads and very little to look at.

We arrived at the camp site on the outskirts of Bend. Set up the motorhome and then headed for the heated pool and hot tub, great for relaxing after spending all day in the RV.

We are now in another time zone – Pacific Time, this now puts us 8 hours behind the UK.
