Wonderful Trip to Boise and Kansas City-June 2011

We left Mansfield on Sunday May 29th and returned June 10th. We drove the 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat some 4850 miles on this trip--traveling from Atlanta thru Nashville, St. Louis, Lincoln, Nebraska and I-80 thru Provo, Utah on into Boise. Similar to last summer's trip West, it was once again very windy on the Plains. Our travels this time took us to a high elevation of 8000 feet (with snow on the higher mountains seen from a distance) with a low temp of 54 degrees! We spent most nights on the road in either the Marriott or Holiday Inn Brands. Going out and back we spent nights in cities that included:






St. Louis, Missouri




Lincoln, Nebraska




Rock Springs, Wyoming




Salt Lake City, Utah,




Laramie, Wyoming



The bulk of our stay was in the Residence Inn across from the Boise State University--same hotel we stayed in this past Christmas trip.
