Once again, we had to put the miles in today. Despite that, we couldn't resist popping in to see Craters of the Moon National Monument (after all, we were in the neighborhood). The Peaks to Craters Scenic By-way was (well, we're running out of adjectives) lovely.
The monument's eight mile loop showed the results of many volcanic eruptions, the most recent now estimated to have been 2000 years ago.
It is said to be "The strangest 75 square miles in North America." Jan saw a lava hill, and Bob climbed it.
Our allotted thirty minutes turned into two hours--oops!
Then it was time to make tracks. Hello Utah; good-bye Utah.
After changing our route several times, enduring downpours and road work...
we dragged ourselves into a motel in Cheyenne, WY, at 10:15 p.m. (total for the day, 798 miles).
