We left Boulder in late June for Seattle and drinking with friends
The other noteworthy event was we did another run, up at 9,000 feet in Rollinsville. Maureen set a personal best doing a 5-miler. I - fresh off doing a half-marathon the weekend before - did a 10-miler
I checked the weather that morning. Something like "low-50s" so I decided I'd wear long dark clothing with a black hat. Bad mistake. By the time the race started the sun was intense. By the end I was hoping there were paramedics. Here is a pic of "the agony of victory"
Here are some pics of the 750-mile drive to Mountain Home, ID
We loaded up The Grumpus:
We stopped near Longmont or maybe Fort Collins for the usual outstanding breakfast served by the good folks at The Waffle House:
Random shots the next 80-90 miles until the WY border:
The windy state of Wyoming:
A prairie dog colony at the rest stop:
More shots across Wyoming
We missed the "Welcome to Idaho" sign, but these sunsets were definitely Idaho:
Next will be the drive from Idaho across Oregon to Seattle

Wild Animal Sanctuary
An hour east of Boulder is an animal sanctuary: http://www.wildanimalsanctuary.org/
The tigers were the stars - (sadly) there were many and viewing access was best:
Lions...
Leopards
A camel...
Wolves...
Emus
And bears...black bears were far away but seemed rather clownish (with toys and swings)...grizzlies seem much more menacing
