Vacation to Yellowstone, Day 9

Day 9, August 15, 2013

Ketchum, ID to La Grande, OR


We left smoky Sun Valley as visibility declined. The haze continued as far as Boise and beyond. We learned that the forest  fires had grown and that people were starting to leave Sun Valley.


This was a long day of driving without any stops except for lunch in a Boise park.  Heading into La Grande, OR in the afternoon, we found a great park out among the farms. This one had a pool. It was just what we needed for our last night on the road. After swimming we explored a bit and found that a pair of ospreys had a nest at the side of the park, next to a pond. Oliver was very excited to dig out his binoculars.




Off to the pool
