Thursday 6/15/05 – Dinosaur CO to Boise ID – 600 miles or so.

I guess I’m still on central time or something. My bladder woke me up at 5:30, so I got up, heated water for breakfast, and broke camp. The morning light made some of the rocks simply amazing. I poked around a bit, and found out that the dino dig site didn’t open until 9. Crap. Still, it’s not worth waiting another 2 hours, so I hit the road.

My route skipped Salt Lake City, so I took a side route through Logan, home of Utah State University. I guess I’m spoiled by Fayetteville, but Logan wasn’t terribly impressive. Fairly boring, in fact. Oh well – it’s not like it was a top contender for grad school.

The drive from Logan to Boise was fairly flat, especially considering the surroundings. I guess this is what they mean by the intermountain basin. It was also fairly hazy. I don’t know if it’s smog, humidity, or what, but the visibility was fairly poor. The pictures would have been crappy, so I didn’t take any.

I bailed on camping tonight. I called home and had Kevin find me a hotel in Boise. I was in the mood for a decent bed, shower, and an internet connection…..
