Mercifully today was a relatively short day of 53 miles. The objective was to get to the hotel before the afternoon heat. Mountain Home, our destination, was forecasting a high of 103 degrees! I got to hotel at about 1 pm. The ride from Boise to Mountain Home was not spectacular, with mainly wide open high desert brush. We rode again on I-84 for a few miles. Mountain Home is a small town with a population of about 14,000. There is an Air Force base several miles from town, I am a bit anxious about the ride tomorrow, 97 miles to Twin Falls , as the oppressive heat is expected to continue.
