#34 Craters of the Moon

We left Jackson Hole but not without tasting some of Bubba's delicious ribs-a lunch portion was big enough for two! 
 
And on to Idaho! The first thing you think of when one says "Idaho" is potatoes...and this is a storage area for potatoes 
Most important was our visit to Craters of the Moon National Park-did you know the astronauts trained there? Since they didn't know what to expect when they landed on the moon they used the different types of lava rock  to practice all kinds of scenarios....
We attended a demonstration, several movies and finished our Jr. Ranger books and were awarded our Lunar Ranger patches!
Then we drove through the loop to see all the different areas and types of lava....very interesting!
Can you see the crater?
