Awake: 7:29am Temp 55 Cloudy Elevation 2535 Ft Overnight @ Nampa, Idaho

Walk to the campground office to use their modem but….msn would not give
me a local number to connect for either Nampa or Boise. I spend way too
much time trying & finally give up.

@ 12:30pm we walk across the street to the Warhawk Museum, pay our $8.00
each & join the crowd for the air show. There are 7 WWII war birds on
static display & will fly 2 & 3 times during the afternoon, giving rides
for a mere $600.00 each: 2 Curtis P-40’s; a Hawker Sea Fury made in
Australia; a T-28; A Sky Raider & Avenger (both with folding wings) & an
AT-6…..all beautifully restored to like new or better than new condition.
We spend 3.5 hrs watching these 65 + yr old planes fly around the area &
talking hangar talk with different interested fans. We also go through the
Warhawk Museum scrutinizing all the WWII memorabilia which seems to be an
extremely vast collection for the size of this museum.

Then we attend 5:00pm Mass @ St. Paul church (15 min away)… back to our
bus @ 6:30. Our neighbor T.K. makes a cell phone call to his buddy in
Kansas & we all talk about the Sprint data setup for our cell phones.

Later, Kathy & I sit outside in the evening shade, snack on sun dried
tomatoes with parmesan cheese, mixed nuts & Triscuits + a little wine.
That was our dinner & we are worn out from all the excitement of the air
show.

High temp today=76 Lights out: 12:27am
