We decided to call it a day just south of Boise Idaho. This is definitely the land of the Oregon Trail. We came upon the hill where immigrants delighted in the valley below with cottonwood trees and grasses after passing through so much desert.
Bonneville is credited with exclaiming “les bios voyes” meaning " see the woods".
It is a high point overlooking the valley. Beautiful!
We stopped in Mountain Home and visited with my nephew who I had not seen since moving to the East in 1994. A wonderful reunion!
