Morning came early in Tremonton, Utah for the eager-to-see-home Tremans.
We left the motel at 6:45 with 555 miles between us and home, thinking we would stay the night in the halfway point at Boise .
The skies were sunny and the temperature was 51 degrees. A pair of Say's Phoebes bid us "Cheerio" in the morning sun.

We got on the road before the sun did. It was a beautiful drive on a smooth, wide, empty freeway.
|
 |
Lots of grasslands and snow-covered mountains
|
 |
The surprise of wind turbines cluttering up the landscape where they hadn't been before, not to mention the aroma of gigantic feedlots along the way, and the shocking yellow of a canola field.

Crossing the very full Snake River and nearing Farewell Bend of the Snake River
At 11 am we arrived at Boise, our destination for the day halfway to home. We actually will gain an hour after we cross into Oregon.
We could not stop! So, onward and westward. We hatched out a plan to surprise Rodger and Ginger and George and Deanna at their campground outside Baker City, OR.

The snow-capped peaks near Baker City

What a surprise and what a reunion we had! Friends together after six weeks! Catching up and enjoying camping together.

Such a beautiful, quiet campground--Union Creek Campground at Phillips Lake, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest outside of Baker City along the Powder River

 |
To cap off a perfect day, we added another trip bird, a White-headed Woodpecker

Today Our Eyes Were On
FRIENDS and the joy of reunion after a long journey!
