So we left Boise and headed out of Idaho for the last time ever on the route. What I mean by that is that we had a border crossing today into Oregon. The first 40 miles were fairly simple to our lunch spot as we headed out through the suburbs. It was a real nice route out of the city, and I was able to push it to lunch.
After lunch, I simply took my time with some people to Ontario. The border crossing over the Snake River was very simple, nothing too fancy to show off. We stopped in the town of Nyatta and quickly went about our way through the irrigated farm lands.
Our stay in Ontario was very nice with the pastor being very kind to our group. He hooked us up with great food, computers and air conditioning that was amazing. The big highlights of the day were going to county fair in town.
I visited the livestock section where I met all types of ranchers young and old. The 4-H club had some girls that were still in grade school taking care of cattle all their life. They were very knowledgeable, polite and responsible who told us everything about the perfect cow.
We of course checked out the lamas, pigs and lamb in the livestock section. The lamb reminded me of a dog in a way with how they interact with humans. I would consider getting one in the future if I have space for that type of development. The competitions were also a hit as we saw all sorts of crafts, pictures, fruits, quilts and miscellaneous items that were being judged.
It was a great day and I look forward towards the next time that I am in the area.
