Today
was our last day in Anchorage before our trip to the Lower 48. We did
our usual neighborhood walk in the afternoon and the fall colors were
just beautiful. Our friend Betty gave us an lift to the airport to
catch a red eye flight to Boise Idaho via Portland.

October 2nd to October 6th Boise
We
were pretty tired when we arrived here in Boise at about 9.00am this
morning. We picked up our rental car from the airport and drove the
25 miles to All Season Storage in Nampa where our truck and trailer
have been in storage for the last 6 months. We were pleasantly surprised to
find the vehicles exactly as we left them the covers were in fine
shape. We were fortunate that the weather was dry when we took the
covers off. I reconnect the battery and the truck started up
instantly. Our next move was to drive to our favorite campground in
Garden City a suburb of Boise. This campground is beside the Boise
River bike trail, a real beautiful spot.
After
disconnecting the trailer at the campground we started making it
ready for living in once again. Had to empty the anti-freeze and
flush the water lines.
We made a big mistake by not making a list of what we had left in the
Casita and truck in March when we stored them, consequently we
duplicate a lot of stuff and it will come back with us to Anchorage
at Christmas.
We then return the
rental car to the airport which went without a hitch. Then come back
to the campground via Costco and a bunch of shopping. After unloading
the shopping and finding a place either in the refrigerator, cupboard
or a tote we have in the truck we refer to as a pantry. It was
bedtime after an extremely long and busy day.
Every day we are here we
made use of the bike trail either for a evening walk or a bike ride.
It really is nice to have the folding bikes with us as they fit
nicely in the back of the truck. One day we rode 18 miles on the
trail and that is pretty much the maximum distance for us as they as
adequate and convenient but not the most comfortable bikes to ride
long distances. The bike trail in Boise is smoke free which I found
to be interesting for an open space area.

When we left Anchorage
we really had no idea where we were going to travel to from Boise,
and with the
Government shutdown and National Parks closed that
restricted our choices of areas we would like to visit. About 8pm on
the 6th we looked at Google Maps and decided to head towards Las Vegas Nevada.
