On to Craters of the Moon

This morning we conferenced with Apple to figure out what to do with our iphones which were both too full to take any more photos.  Of course they fixed the problem in no time and we left West Yellowstone on a sunny road headed west....


The landscape is very flat with distant hills, buttes and mountains, it is a desolate and beautiful place to travel through....


In Arco, we came upon this sight....


...and discovered that each of the local high school graduating classes from 1920
to the present has painted their year on the side of "Name Hill"!

Craters of the Moon is an unusual place, resembling a moonscape in may places--hence the name...


...the lava is often more in chunks than in "flow".


We peered down into a hole in the ground to see SNOW--along with our shadows just above it.


Before leaving, we stopped at the visitor center to add a yellow pin for Woodstock, VT to the map in the entry.  The closest pins were Montpelier and Bennington so we were proud to represent our town in Idaho at Craters of the Moon!

Our airbnb hostess in Hailey, ID had chocolate chip cookies, a washer and dryer and the most comfortable bed imaginable all for our use.  After sharinng a Thai dinner with Rick in town, having a cookie and doing the laundry. I'm going to take advantage of that bed.  Tomorrow we'll check out  Ketchum and then head for Oregon....
