I wanted to see the [Take a breath here] Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, a rather large set-aside administered by the BLM. It’s a nice open-range with the Snake River Gorge in it, but too early for birds (the swallows had arrived, though) of interest.
I don’t visit the Boise area very often because it’s boring. I always feel like I’m on a set for an “Up With People” performance. It’s a suburb of Salt Lake City.
Tomorrow I’ll go to Farewell Bend, an Oregon State Park next to the Snake and a dandy place. Once crossing the river, the Oregon Trail split here, some going north, some further west. It’s not a long run, but it sets me up for the next day to cross the Blues and land at the Columbia River.
