My
trainer was out sick yesterday so I had the opportunity to drive
around and get familiar with some of the Nampa City geography.
I
started my geography lesson at the
Mr.
Hotshine car
wash
so I could get the Chief’s car looking spiffy again. From
there I headed to Fire Station Number 4 on Flamingo. I am
familiar with this location as it
is near my grandparents
retirement community. Once I arrived I decided I’d have a
little fun with my scavenger hunt and take selfies at each location.
I
had not been to the new Nampa Christian High School.
I
quickly found it but got a little lost from there. I didn’t
realize I was as far west as I was and was thinking if I went west
from the high school on Flamingo I would get to Midland…wrong!
I ended up on Midway and knew I was too far from my planned next
stop. I decided to veer from
my plan and continued south towards Lone Star Middle School.
I
knew from there I was now back on my route and between Middleton and
Midland so I headed to Roosevelt Elementary. I spotted the park
before the school itself.
I
headed
back to Midland to try and find West Middle School. I used to live
off Davis Avenue and remembered this middle school as soon as I
spotted it.
The
Willow Creek Elementary sign was easy to spot and I thought the
school was that old abandoned church. I decided to investigate
further and drove down Elementary Lane to find the school itself.
My
last stop before heading to the Treasure Valley Marketplace was Nampa
Christian Elementary, which I knew right where to go.
Despite
being nervous to drive the Chief’s car I am glad it had the
direction display. It really helped me to put together the
roads I am familiar with and the direction of travel I was driving.
This helps me visualize the area better, which is the whole purpose
of driving around.
It
was an awesome opprotunity and I look forward to going again
sometime.
