Craters of the Moon and Arco Idaho

Craters of the Moon was totally unexpected. Fifty miles of all kinds of lava and all sorts of caves and lava flows. The last eruption was about the time of Christ and they have happened about every 2,000 years. The hotspot that was under Craters has shifted and they now believe it to be under Yellowstone. Scary stuff!!!

On Saturday evening there was a star gazing party and the Milky Way and distant constellations were absolutely fantastic. One gentleman pointed out constellation after constellation with the mythology that went with it. I even took a few pictures - surprised?
