Boise of Airstream Adventures

The air was filled with smoke. The 1000’s of acres burned were visible along our route and many types of fire equipment passed us to wherever they were needed next. We saw power lines downed and pure devastation of the area. It was so sad to see…...

As we traversed through more mountain passes, one called Deadman Pass – kinda scary – we made it safely to the other side.

Ever wondered what a wind turbine blade looks like up close and personal? Well…. here ya go – LOL!!

Don’t care to know how much snow they get in this area, but they are prepared – plenty of warning signs and metal snow fences along the way.

A quick pit stop – we look pretty good in between those big rigs, right????

And here we are at Boise of Airstream Adventure. The Sandman needed some warranty work done and a few minor things tweaked, so we took full advantage of their FREE full hook up area at the dealership!! Super nice they provide this for their customers. We will admit though, it’s very strange camping out in the middle of an industrial park. But hey, we’ll take free any day – LOL!!!

We scheduled this appointment months ago (January) we knew we would be traveling this direction. Sadly, even after 2 follow up calls to ensure they had the parts we needed, they in fact, DID NOT!!

Not Happy Campers at the moment…...

We had a few other small items fixed since we were already there. But now what do we do about getting the REAL issues fixed???? One part (a broken roman shade) is nowhere to be found – ugggg – the other part(s) – more important, shower door enclosure parts that had leaked because the door wasn’t installed properly to begin with. The part was due to arrive AFTER we left…but they did rehang and caulk the door, so fingers crossed, it won’t leak again. We’ll figure out getting the cosmetic stuff fixed down the road…………...

Journey – at 40K miles, needed some new shoes. Since we’ve not really been in any metropolitan cities lately or any coming up, we took advantage of a Discount Tire only a mile away – Yayyyy! Damn - tires are expensive!!! Wowzer……

The air quality has been terrible from the fires blazing all around us. We could tell it was sunny under all that smoke, but it sure made for eerie looking skies!! But beautiful sunsets!
