Idaho! part 3

i am currently taking a rest day in boise. put some things together to mail home to try to make the rockies as easy as humanly possible (which really is not humanly possible). as i probably should have realized, 6 weeks is not much time for this trip. while it is thoretically possible, it doesnt account for the fact that i would like to enjoy myself on this trip too. i have decided to not worry so much about my final destination, and concentrate on where i am and what im experiencing. i am meeting a couple of friends in a few days in jackson, wyoming and they are riding with me to chicago. if that is as far as i make it, great! i will hang out for a few days, take the train to new york, hang out for a few more days and fly home. if i make it to new york, also great! i have spent too much time worring about the final destination and not enough time focusing on the reason i set off on this trip in the first place; a love of bike riding, and a desire to see the country.
