This past off shift I went to Idaho to visit my two good friends Cassey and Dylan. We went to MTSU together and now find ourselves residents of the west. I drove up through Salt Lake City and into Twin Falls to Filer Idaho where they are living. It was such a nice sight to see some familiar faces amid all the newness that finds me out here. I personally cherish my older friends and I find a great level of comfort with them because they know me and have a history with me and I don't have to try to be someone else or get to know them and vic versa. Needless to say, it was a great couple of days in Idaho. They are working at a National Monument, The Hagerman Fossil Beds, you should look it up. It isn't much but they are learning about how the Parks system works and can only benefit from this stint. We went to a little snack shop in Shoshone Idaho and they have some of the biggest Ice Cream cones i have ever seen. Dylan and I both got the medium and raced...I of course won, but feel like i lost later in the car when i fell asleep for a while crashing from all the sugar! We also went the national monument Craters of the Moon. There were once active volcanoes in Idaho of all places and there are lava fields there now. They said that the hot spots that are under Yellowstone were at one point under this park! They also said these could errupt at anytime, but I have a hard time believing them! It was a different place, they had caves and blue lava and volcanic cones and so many things you don't expect to see in souther Idaho. Here are some of the pictures from our adventures!
The folded lava that dried that way
i think this should be their "save the date" for their wedding!
In Tennessee we call this a hole
I was a little too close to the edge...
