Driving day: from Utah through Idaho to Oregon

Leaving Oden, Utah very hot. Stopped by Dragonfly Health Food Store to drop off Biomat books/brochures. They also promote yoga/dance, holistic health. Visit them at www.DragonflyHealthFoods.com We had lunch there. The place is painted in several bright colors - the kind I love to wear! (Jocelyne).
Beautiful driving weather although we noticed a dark cloud most of the day and it was as if we drove around it. Thanks for that!
Key words/signs today: Summit, Independence, Eagle, Echo, Four Winds, Bliss, Pioneer, Knight Transportation, Sinclair (French word translation - free of sin). In true history, the Sinclair family was part of the Royal blood line. Some referred to us as pioneers following our bliss and setting fears aside. As we arrived in Oregon and stopped at the rest area, we read about the Oregon Trail reminded of how challenging some trails can be while others breeze right through to the golden days.

Warning: "Dust Storm area". I believe it with big open spaces and large areas of dry land.
Ate at 'Garden of Eden' in Idaho. '7th Heaven' was a sign by the highway.

Getting easier and faster to pack/unpack.
Over 12 miles of freshly poured black tar. Josh and I used cotton cloth as a mask to shield to strong odor. Jeff said "What smell?" (joking)
Staying at a Holiday Inn Express. The hotel clerk was impressed to log in a zip code starting with '0' - we still use our Manchester address until such time as our permanent address is known to us.
Driving miles: 365 miles
Total from CT: 2,254 miles
