Craters of the Moon… on Earth

And more specifically in Idaho. You know… because Idaho’s got more than potatoes.

Lewis & Clark: the great expedition

They were the first Americans to crosse the western part of the U.S. We got to see some of the areas that they explored. 

Oregon: John Day Fossil Beds

So now we are finally at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Crater Lake (without the wildfire smoke)

I had been there in 2012 but really couldn’t take not all in as the entire area was affected by wildfires…

Mount Rainier reining over Washington

I truly enjoyed it. Part of it was still closed in early May due to the road being blocked off by snow, but definitely worth staying in Washington an extra couple days after my training to check it out.

Hazy shade of… summer

In the summer of 2012, my girlfriend and I decided to drive to Oregon and visit Crater Lake National Park. When we got there, it was extremely hazy because of wild fires.
