moonstruck

"This looks nothing like the moon.." Josh complained when we pulled into Craters of the Moon parking lot. Yes well. OK he had us on that one. He just didn't know that the coolness was hidden by the sagebrush and two hour long drive to get there because underneath all that was a pretty interesting place.

There are rocks, rocks and more rocks with lots and lots of texture upon texture.

There are also lots of things to read about the lava flow and things that have blown up. COOL. They also have caves you can actually explore, and mile upon mile of walking paths.
Did I say mile upon mile? silly me, I meant hundreds of miles upon miles of walking paths. And all of this is available right outside the booming city of Arco, Idaho. Now before you mock remember that Pickles Cafe is there and serves up a pretty darn good burger...pickles included. So pack up your kids, good walking shoes, Tang and tubes of snack goods and head on out to the desert, It may not look like the moon but it is a little bit of learning right here on earth AND a little cooler that I thought it would be.
