Ride to Ontario, Oregon

We rode Hwy. 20 from Idaho Falls to Boise, ID. Nice road. LOUSY DRIVERS. INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS. DANGEROUS DRIVERS.

The speed limit is 65 mph - most vehicles drove in excess of 75 mph and ALL had Idaho license plates.

Never on this year's ride or in the past have we experienced the total lack of safe drivers that we did today.

Shame on the state of Idaho for not patrolling this section of Hwy. 20. There is no way these people would be driving they way they are if the road was patrolled.

As we left the highway at Mountain Home a patrol car and ambulance headed east of Hwy. 20 - and we weren't surprised.

Once we got on I-84 things ran more smoothly. There was construction going through Boise so that held drivers to ONLY five miles an hour over the 55 required.

It was 95 degrees as we rode through Boise - and 97 when we arrived in Ontario. Thank goodness for evaporative vests!

We are at the Super 8 in Ontario, Oregon. A very nice facility near a Country Kitchen with good food and staff.
