Travels With Mabel

[LebamDawg]

Well this rig (hiding behind the house with wheels) got me settled into our new temporary location - Mountain Home, Idaho. Like an oasis in the middle of flat sagebrush. Using this place to get mail forwarded to the Post Office General Delivery. You might not realize how nice it is to not have daily spam in a mail box. Love it. Mrs IamnotinLebam any more says keep it about 64 MPH - hit 80 passing trucks but mainly about 70-73 MPH she was dozing.


Kind of a nice drive out of Oregon until getting close to the Snake river. Road meandered thru the hills along the Malheur river

Freeway heading into Boise has more lanes than Seattle and Tacoma but still have the blackened slicks from tires all of a sudden going 90 degrees to the lane direction and climbing up the concrete barrier. does not matter where one is there is always the same dumb drivers.

I bet some might try to tow that with a 3/4 ton pick up. Fuck that. You got the right rig.

Right now in the middle of Oregon - Burns the Covid Rebellion capital of Oregon. Have not seen a mask on anyone here. What the heck do people do in windblown high desert areas?
I think I am in the largest county in Oregon with the smallest population. Known for the Bundy Rebellion just south of here. My daughter works for Travel Oregon and was telling me she was passing thru this area and a biker group had special windshield signs made that said "Fuck Kate Brown". She says this defines Burns.

Happy Trails - off to Idaho tomorrow morning

Burns is shit as fuck. I’ve never been.

I’m enjoying “Travels With Mabel”.

oh most noble[/b] MOD - rename the thread

Careful, that's my moniker. We can't let the freakishly tall steal my shit.

Also, I am really enjoying travels with Mabel.

humble apologies - I am old and short and easily intimidated by tall freaky people

YES

Literally everywhere I've ever lived (spanning five states over three tim zones) has the same refrain "(Insert city of residence here) has the worst fucking drivers."

I figured out a long tim ago that drivers just suck.

I’m still disappointed Labem didn’t hit Thousand Trails RV Campground in Sun River. That was always my in laws go to when they were trailer trash.

Thousand Trails defines trailer trash - I tried to join but my trailer was too new

Oh yeah, it's twash AF at Thousand Trails. Basically, one step above a homeless RV park in Ballard.

Mabel is on the move again. Being the idiot I am, I plan this trip through eastern Oregon, Idaho, and Utah based on the average temps. Well the reason the average temps are near 65 this time of year is because a week ago they were in the 90's and now the 40's. Snowing where I be 40 miles east of Twin Falls.

"Winter Driving Conditions - Use Caution" and frigging snowing about 500 ft past the sign. How did they know where to put that sign just amazes me.


Anyway, as I hooked up everything this morning it was 38 with a what seemed like -15 wind chill.

and settled in for what the weather report says is 5 days of freezing temps

I've driven in heavy, deep snow in Utah in every month of the year, save July and August.

It’s the GOAT Snow. Says so on the license plate.

Well I roll into Provo and it is 64 degrees and then all hell breaks loose. 50 mph winds. I know when to travel.



Snowing all around us but not too bad really

Try to pick up a sister wife for Mabel while you're there.

 

[LebamDawg]

was at Mike's grocery and did see a couple sister wives - mentioned it to the Mrs but she was unaware. I did not want to stare at the outfits too much - dressed alike head to toe. I think, but could not confirm, that the armpits were cutout.

So from there went to the town of Frisco - Old Frisco Mining Town to be exact, absolute ghost town. Mined silver, few buildings crumbling away and these neat ovens



area was blocked off by the mining company - fences up and warnings about fumes, cave ins, you know all the fun stuff.

and another picture

 

[DerekJohnson]

Awesome, thank you for updating this.
