Day 1 - In Transit

Despite getting a start later than desired, we had a great drive across Washington and into Wallace, Idaho.  We made up time by lunching in the Transit, and driving a constant 67 mph.  Along the way we reminisced about our past bike trips and enjoyed the scenery, and the huge music library Diane had loaded onto the iPod.

The Transit Connect does pretty good on gas, so we only made one gas stop towards the end of the 400 mile trek.   We are happy with the Transit ’s performance, except for excessive road noise when traveling on older interstate pavement.

We are now in our somewhat modest hotel after having a somewhat blasé meal, sort of par for the course when on a bicycle trip, even when traveling by motor vehicle.  Since breakfast is often our favorite meal when traveling we are hoping for a great experience in the morning, and another good traveling day, to Livingston, MT.
