Aug. 27-29,2010


Hi again, After leaving the KOA in Arco, ID we stopped at Craters of the Moon National Monument; It is really huge. See photo of Beth, ' It covers many thousands of acres. We stopped in Hagerman, ID to see the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument. Because of fires, it was closed. We did stop at the visitor center though. We camped along the Snake River that night. Many waterfalls across the river from us. Then we saw Shoshone Falls near Twin Falls, ID. We then drove to see the Golden Spike National Historic site in northern Utah. The wind was terrible as it gusted up to the 50;s mph while we drove. We stopped at Willard State Park, Willard, Utah which is on the Great Salt Lake on Sat. night. Bill waded in the lake. The last picture was taken on the shoreline as a storm was coming in. On Sunday morning we headed for Green River, Utah. One has to drive through the Salt Lake area to get anywhere in Utah. The drive was beautiful but fought high winds again. We learned while driving there was a high wind warning. Of course we were in the middle of nowhere when we learned that so couldn;t do anything bu keep driving. Tomorrow we hpe to visit the Arches National Park.
