Pre-Super Bowl Drive
This annual drive was gray and cold, but there
was not rain, only some fog on the drive from Meridian to
Nampa. Twelve Miatas came out to get some exercise:
The first nine cars met in Meridian and drove the back roads
to Nampa where we met up with Richard, Joyce, John, Jayne,
Jennifer and Alexa at the Albertson’s parking lot on
12th Ave. South. From there Richard and Joyce led the group
on the back roads of Canyon County. We headed south through
Melba and on to Celebration Park on the Snake River. It was
a great little winding road down into the park.
Celebration Park was established as Idaho's only archaeological
park in 1989. It is located on the Snake River at the western
boundary of the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation
Area. This area was a wintering ground for Paiute Indians
along the Snake River. Travelers worldwide have come to enjoy
the high desert flora, scenic land features, and unique Indian
art dating to 12,000 years ago. We explored the area and examined
petroglyphs in the lava rock boulders that are scattered among
the sagebrush.
From the park we headed northwest to Map Rock Road where the
Miatas could stretch their tires; then on to Marsing and the
Sandbar Riverhouse Restaurant for lunch. After an enjoyable
meal and good visit with our travel companions we discovered
the sun had come out from the clouds, so many of the tops
went down for the drives back home. The perfect end to a great
drive! Thanks to Richard and Joyce for a great run and discovering
Celebration Park for us.
Miata Party Girls
Jane hosted the MPG’s at the community room of her apartment
complex - a great place for entertaining. Everyone brought
a yummy something to share for lunch. There were a variety
of projects worked on - knitting, beading, and quilting. There
was a lively game of Uno played and of course, lots of gossip
and fun. Thanks Jane for a great afternoon!
