Day 97 – 2014-08-24, Sunday – Salmon, ID to McCall, ID

Ok, travel day! Early start – no breakfast – no time! Want to get there early! Southern route. Mapquest says 175 miles. GPS says 350 miles. We’re going to take the Mapquest route.

Well, as it turns out, Mapquest was going to take us on a dirt road for a bunch of miles so … NO. 350 miles it was. Should have taken the Northern route. PLUS – miles and miles of construction. We went probably 30 miles at 25 mph. YES – over AN HOUR to go 30 miles! And on Sunday, there’s no crew out there working, but the speed limit signs are still up. DAMN!!!

Well, lunch in Boise and we managed to pull into the State Park before they closed – cool! Got a really nice site – not the one we had last year, which I wanted, but the one across the road from it. This site is a double, so we have LOTS of room to spread out! I’ll try to post photos later.

We did have time to go to a local brewery for some brews and dinner – Salmon River Brewery. Pretty good stuff. Here’s the beer menu:

1 - Salmon River Brewery

I had the Chunder Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, and The Bear had the Buzz Buzz Coffee Porter. Both had a coffee flavor, hers stronger than mine (as you’d expect from the name!) The food? So-so. Beer was good, though.

After eight hours driving (almost nine on the road!), I’m DEAD tired. Off to get my beauty sleep.
