We went on a bike ride along the city's paved bike path with the Roberts Family. It follows the Boise river downtown. Here is Jim explaing to Hunter about how swift and dangerous the Boise River is after the spring thaw while some college studen on the other side is wading into the water. The Boise State University campus is on the opposite bank..
Cuties! - Emma, Kassy and Hunter Roberts.
Taking a rest beside the river is Jim, plus Tracy and Don Roberts with Emma's head in front. The children enjoyed putting their feet in the cold water here. The weather was in the mid 80's.
Tracy on her bike witrh Emma on the back. Emma loves to ride here! (Who wouldn't!) :-)
Leaving Boise we headed west on the interstate until we came to Idaho Route 95 to head north to Canada. We drove the whole state on this road. Beautiful drive but about a dozen 6-7% grades. Here shows the irrigation ditch used all over Idaho & Utah, at least, for irrigation from the mountain snow melts.
This is a typical hill enroute north on Rt 95 but I call it my polka dot hill! It is sure hard to show scale here in Idaho since the landscape is so vast!
This is the Weiser River.
Rough canyon-like road here.
Western Town in Adams County, Idaho.
Unusual Two Story Train Station in New Meadows, Idaho.
These are yellow wild flowers beside road near Little Salmon River.
This is the Little Sa;lmon River rushing with the spring snow melt! Beautiful!
One of the road scenes as we entered into the Hell's Canyon Area. I think this is the Salmon River.
Enetering into the Hells Canyon or Ralmon River Canyon.
These are some wild horses Jim saw in a valley near White Bird Hill, near an area where there was a big Indian War.
This hill is sooooo green, it makes me think of what Ireland must look like. It was not irrigated.
We only made it as far as Coeur D'Alene, Iadaho the first day. After spending Sunday at the Walmart there and attending a local wards church services, we headed north again on Monday. We crossed into Canada, actuallyBritish Columbia about 11 am. This is Moyie Lake, quite beautiful!
Maybe this is rugged country because here is my first Canadian log cabin.

We found this campground in Fort Steele, BC and spent the night. Maybe you can see the mountains behind our coach, though the mist.
This osterich was in a farm behind the Fort Steele Campground. Get ready, this is only the first of my bird photos! :-)
The next day, we headed north toward Banff National Park. Here is Jim by Columbia Lake, the origin of the Columbia River which flows south and west to empty into the Pacific Ocean at the Oregon & Washington Borders.
We came to Fairmont Hot Springs and decided to take a refreshing dip in the hot springs mineral water pool. This is near the Kootenay Provincial Park. Although it was drissly & cold, this water was great-about 105 degrees. They also have a coooler pool to go into if you get too hot. I think it is at 85 degrees.
Here is Jim soaking up all that great water! He says we dropped two year off our age just by stopping here for a dip!
This is our first view of the Canadian Rockies!
