May 31 Crater
of the Moon National Park.
This park was more than we could imagine. It looks like the surface of the moon as
seen through a telescope. That was how it was described in 1923. Then National Geographic did a story on it
and President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed it a National Monument “a weird and
scenic landscape, peculiar to itself.”
15,000 years ago, lava welled up to produce this vast ocean
of rock. The most recent eruption
occurred a mere 2,000 years ago, and geologists believe that future events are
likely.
These little flowers space themselves among the stone naturally
This looks like the moon to me
This was taken at our campsite, 10 feet from the camper

I love the pic from your campsite. Mom, you look great! However, the Crater is so desolate. I mean its very interesting but not the most beautiful destination by a long shot. Love the pics tho!
The Crater is very unique - and it looks like you must have hiked far and wide to sit there LOL. It's raining (yet) here in RH....so glad I could escape the rain and be on the trip with you guys! Love, Betty
Keep sending the great pics! Hope we can get there again someday. If not, enjoying thru you! Mss you!
