Visiting Family in Boise (Part 2)

Uncle Jim and 2002 Mustang GT
Here is the man that gave Ken his first motorcycle ride on his Triumph in the early 60's and first dirt hill climb on his Greeves 250 (Ken remembers holding on to Uncle Jim for dear life - it was awesome!).  He then spent many Sunday afternoons during Ken's teen years taking Ken riding, beginning with his Taco 22 mini bike, then Yamaha 80 and finally a Yamaha 125 MX. Uncle Jim kept these sometimes dodgy machines going deep in the hills near Lambs Canyon and mountain fire trails of the San Berdo mountains. Ken was never stranded because Uncle Jim was prepared and able.  He is one special man. He has always had one, sometimes two, cool cars.  He is pictured here, at age 95, with his cream puff 2002 Mustang GT.  What a guy!  More photos follow so read on.

Visiting Family in Boise Area (Part 1)

Visiting in Nampa
After we were situated at the Huston Vineyard we headed over to the Ferris's in nearby Nampa.  We had a great time catching up with the Ferris's and they prepared a great dinner for us. This time of year the evenings are long and pleasant in Nampa (though not as extended as what we are experiencing now further north in AB).
