Idaho
Idaho's license plates say, "Famous Potatoes", but I didn't eat or even see a single one of them. What's up with that?!?! If you're gonna make that kind of claim you need some massive potato statues, street vendors selling every kind cooked every way, mascots walking the towns, etc. Hey Idaho, call me, I've got some ideas for your marketing dept, let's boost tourism in your state. Step 1, free fries at every border...
Actually when leaving Washington I took a short-cut across the corner of eastern Oregon for a few miles and found a couple spots to photograph. The pic above is out of order intentionally for the introduction to this story. (wink wink)
Speaking of training, I haven't been. I try to eat fairly healthy on the road by making oats and eggs for breakfast or maybe yogurt and fruit, sandwiches for lunch, then a salad and soup for dinner, I haven't been active like I want to be. When I'm at some of these places, I jog to get there, and am trying to get a little exercise in the van by doing push-ups/sit-ups. My big plan is to get a membership to 24 Hour Fitness, but there isn't any out here!! They all seem to be in California or the East Coast. So, soon I'll be getting ripped, but for now I'm working on my "Trucker Body". (I'm cutting down on the beer when camping, but it just makes it more fun.)
Wyoming here we come! GIDDY UP, COWBOY!
