Day 39 Arco Idaho to home 196 miles
We left Arco at the usual 9:00 am. The skies are at least partly cloudy with smoke.
We drove through Craters of the Moon but didn’t stop.
The town of Carey was having their fall fair. Looked like a good crowd.
Wildlife today consisted of 9 antelope all in one field and 9 birds of prey spaced out at different places along the way. We did see what looked like a heron out in a grain field. Seemed an odd place for it. The rest of the wildlife came in the form of roadkill. Two skunks and 7 deer or antelope. Sometimes it was difficult to tell.
The closer we got to Boise the hotter and smokier it got. Sure miss the cool clean air from up north. The house was nice and cool when we arrived which felt really good.
