Today's morning had an inauspicious start. The hotel supplied alarm clock went off a 5 am. It took forever to get back to sleep. Then, I forgot to turn on my alarm the night before, so Jim was up rousting me 20 minutes after we were supposed to be up. We managed to eat the terrible hotel free breakfast and get out fairly quickly, but we weren't done yet. We have a high zoot Lexus. What do you think its tire pressure management system provides? It's an idiot light. It doesn't tell you which tire, or how low. The Jeep Renegade we have, which is made by Fiat tells you about each and every tire, and what its pressure is. So we had the low pressure idiot light. In the car was a tire inflator, but no tire pressure gauge. We stopped at a mini mart and wonder of wonders, they sell them. Jim tested the tire pressure, all four were at 30 pounds. Our theory is that it was so cold last night it confused the sensors, or the air shrank, or something. About 15 minutes or so down the road, the light went out and all was good.
The route takes you across the top of Idaho, the handle, so to speak. Idaho is digging up much of I90 and replacing it, pretty much across all of it. There will be new bridges, as well. There is no signage, but it's probably due to Biden's Build Back Better money. Idaho is pretty red, so their tongues would catch on fire before they would admit the source of the money. We're wondering if we should reconsider the Oregon route, because that construction is going to be there and be worse than it is now.
Montana has fabulous skies.
