There was a point to the plan: ride the northern states (Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, etc.) first so that the weather will still be good, then nearer to the end of the month ride the lower states (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.)
I don't know if you have been looking at national weather, but there is an unusual winter storm that hit the Rockies. When you ask? You guessed it. Friday night and all day Saturday. In other words, right on my schedule. I-84 got between two and five inches of snow around Twin Falls, which is on my route to Salt Lake City, and there was not an alternative route that was not hundreds of miles out of the way.
So I decided to wait another day in Weiser with the Burris family. We went to one of Alexa's volleyball games, did a little Costco shopping, I picked up a winter Baclava (hood one wears under one's motorcycle helmet), and definitely got a nap. Joe and Pam are both on the worship team at church, so I got to hang out at their rehearsal on Saturday night, and catch up on some computer work as well. It was great to spend some extra time with the Burris family and to enjoy a second night at Joe's parents' place.
