Mike took a few more photos of the campground this morning.

We stopped at the campground's dump station to empty our holding tanks before driving south on SR-245 and then east on US-26.
We had driven about 20 miles from Unity Lake State Park and stopped at a pull-off on US-26 at 10:45 to have an early lunch. Once we cross the state line into Idaho, we will be in the Mountain Time Zone and we wanted to get our bodies used to a new schedule.

We're now again driving through the high desert

with the occasional farm or ranch.

We saw this sign for Oregon Trail Murals in the town of Vale, but the highway detoured around the downtown area so we didn't see many murals.

When we were just a few miles from the Idaho state line, we saw fields of onions near Ontario, Oregon.

We got onto I-84 at Ontario and drove south and crossed into Idaho about 1:30. I wasn't able to zoom the camera out fast enough to get the whole "Welcome to Idaho" sign.

We exited I-84 at Caldwell and stopped at the Flying J to get gas in the RV and after our 2¢ a gallon discount, we paid $3.619 a gallon. Before leaving the Flying J we called our friend, Matt, and told him we were only a few minutes away from his house.
After leaving Flying J, we drove east on US-26 about 10 miles before driving north to our friends' house here in Meridian.
When we got to Matt and Merilee's house at 3:00, Matt was outside using his leaf blower to blow off the driveway where we're parking the RV while we stay here. We disconnected the Vue before Mike backed the RV up near Matt's barn. We leveled the RV and put the bedroom slide out. Mike plugged our electric cord into an outlet inside the barn, so we can run the refrigerator on electricity.

| From Visiting with Matt & Merilee |
Merilee had been out shopping when we arrived and she came home a little while later. It is so good to see them, we had visited with Merilee 2 years ago when we stopped here with our friends Al and Symphony, but Matt had been away on business then.
Matt is a terrific cook and for dinner tonight we had spaghetti with Matt's delicious meat and clam sauce with duck and lamb sausage he had made and wine, of course.

We spent the rest of the evening catching up with each other's news. Matt told us about his new job and how much he enjoys being able to work from home. Merilee told us about her new business, Idaho Bag Lady, which she's had since last year.
