August 19, Redmond to Jerome, Idaho, 451 miles

Cindy fixed coffee for us this morning before we took off so we got to spend some time with them. It was a long day today, too long, but not a lot of places to stop. We have seen some beautiful country on the trip and today was no exception but it was a lot different. A good part of the road we traveled was the original Oregon Trail. There were lots of Historical Markers all along the route but we didn’t stop to read them all. We followed Lewis and Clark part of the way west and now we are following the Oregon Trail and the Overland Trail part of the way back to Iowa. Spent the night in the Wal-Mart parking lot and of course, did some shopping.
