431 miles down, hopefully no more snow


Welcome to Idaho! :) The first day was a pretty short hop, home to Meridian, Idaho, about 6.5hrs. This is usually a pleasant and smooth drive but heading through the mountain passes in eastern Oregon, up around 4k ft I started getting into some pretty heavy snow. Thankfully there wasn't any accumulation when I was rolling through but it was some pretty good blizzard conditions for awhile. In quattro we trust :) Most of the rest of the drive was clear skies except for around Portland. The Gorge from The Dalles out to Walla Walla was beautiful. Idaho starts out pretty nice, speed limits up to 75mph, but then there's always lots of traffic around Boise. It should be pretty nice cruising heading out of town tomorrow though.
The only interesting car I spotted today was a C6 S6 which I saw before I got out of Hillsboro.
