I think the last thing that we’ll need on this trip is more wool and fiber! The purpose of the whole endeavor is my wife’s three day fiber festival, yarn camp, stitch and bitch thing in Sequim.

After shopping hotels from Ontario to Mountain Home, we’ll be staying at a pig themed Air BnB in Boise proper.

Many years ago, [before Texas became a pariah state](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reluctantly-fuck-texas/933289), I was traveling in Europe, and told people I was from Texas. They would ask if there were cattle drives through town, so of course I would answer yes, and tell them about how it wasn’t that big of deal, you just had to know to take a different route to work that day.
