NC to OR day 4

States traveled through: Wyoming, Utah, Idaho

Hours driven: 10.5-11

Stops made: a lot today

We started out early in Laramie with a little 3 mile run at about 7,000 feet. Nice crisp mountain air made me feel great. We followed that up with some awesome coffee (best of the trip thus far) and hit the road.

Many windmill turbine things in Wyoming, and of course, the road:





We sallied into the beautiful state of Utah this afternoon. Utah is definitely the most beautiful state we've seen. The landscape is so amazing! Plains, Rockies, Desert, Canyons, perfectly picturesque! We stopped in Salt Lake City where my old roommate and yoga twin sister from yoga school in Thailand runs her own coffee shop. I decided to just show up and surprise her, and it was so awesome!

Then on to Idaho, which is a whole lot of this:






A fun stop in "The Middle of Nowhere", that's really what they called this place:






Alpaca!!!




Edie alpaca




Viktor alpaca




Tumbleweed




This guy thought he was funny




Big sky





End of the day beer





Whoopsie






Tonight I blog to you from Boise at the creepiest (yet clean and friendly staffed) hotel in which I have ever been. It is seriously The Shining up in here.





This picture doesn't even do it justice, but just imagine those creepy ghost twins on trikes coming at you. Chandeliers, glass plated bar with tuxedoed bartender, it is all here. Now I must go research: where did The Shining take place? Boise, Idaho?


And, definitely check out Jason's pictures today.  They turned out really well.
