Homeward Bound

Time to make up some miles.  By the end of the day, we hoped to be in Mountain Home, ID, a distance of some 630 miles.  (We made it.)  Along the way, we saw Mount Rainier,

and Mount Adams and seem to have climbed and descended about a hundred other mountains.

The scenery changed from scrub

to fir trees,

and back again--even saw an aerie on top of a telephone pole with an eagle in it.

It struck us how lucky we are to live in a country of such diverse and awe-inspiring beauty.
