We left smoky Winnemucca this morning for the 240 mile drive to Caldwell, Idaho. We were expecting a beautiful day with no mishaps. But anyone who travels by RV knows that things just don't always happen that way!About half way into Oregon on highway 95 we pulled of the road for my comfort stop. We all got back to the coach and Mario Andretti Riha pulled out of the rest stop at top speed, rocking the coach so hard that the wine cooler popped open and shot 4 bottles of wine across the kitchen and onto the floor. Thankfully, the three bottles of red wine just rolled around the living room, but the white bottle smashed into a million tiny pieces and splashed wine and glass from the living room to the bathroom.
Jim couldn't pull over on the highway right away, so Kathe did her best to clean it up while the coach was moving at 65 mph. When we stopped Jim was able to help pick up all the glass, but the coach now smells like a wine cellar. Maybe tomorrow we'll stop for some Febreze.
When we finally got to Caldwell, they left me home and went out to meet some friends who now live in Meridian, Idaho. Bob and Carol bought beautiful new house and Kathe and Jim were anxious to see it. Later, they went into Boise for dinner at Eureka Burger but forgot to bring me a doggie bag!
They enjoyed walking around downtown Boise with their friends and stopped at Freak Alley, an alley where the local graffiti artists have painted murals on the backs of all the brick buildings. It was like a huge art gallery several stories high.
