Oregon - Idaho - Well, It's 8 o'clock in Boise Idaho

I'll find my limo driver. Honey, take me to the run. // Some version of this song by Lynyrd Skynyrd has been on my mind for years & even more acutely since planning for this run started developing. Even though it's actually morning and the run starts 45 minutes west of Boise near Adrian, Oregon, at one of the last bends that the Snake River has as it whips and winds northwesternly, the song's beat matches my rhythm as I run - or is it the other way around?

Back at the hotel, Lord we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes  (EVA???)

Napton River Road is paved and 2-lane, probably just for my own personal and private use, based on the traffic today. The fields are empty, the birds sleeping, the summer sun is just getting warmed up and it is just a run that only I really care about - because it is a great run. Boise has great greenways by the Boise River downtown, but then I would have to share.

9 o'clock the next day And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride To do one more show, oh no.

Well there ain't no shame!
