We were on the road a little after 7:00 this morning. Our choice of routes for today was Hwy. 20. heading west. The terrain was barren...mostly sagebrush. There were several energy research facilities off in the distance...both atomic and other kinds of energy.
We stopped at a Rest Area a few miles east of Arco. Our main objective was a breakfast stop. There was a lot of information about the area. I discovered there were three caches in the immediate area...one regular and two earth caches. To log an earth cache we have to answer questions about the area.
When we got to Craters of the Moon National Monument, we went into the Visitors’ Center and discovered there was a campground at the Monument. We decided to stay for the night, giving us time to explore today and tomorrow. There are some interesting things to see around here.
Not far from the campground was a ghost town, Martin, abandoned in 1940. All that was left was a water tank at the site of the old Post Office. And a geocache, which we found and logged.
Today’s Travel Totals: Mileage, 87---Geocaches, 4
