We camped at Birch Creek in Idaho. It has been 29 years ago since we were there.
We also went to see the Charcoal Kilns were they made charcoal for the smelter at Voila mine by Leadore, Idaho.
We stopped by the ghost town of Gilmore, Idaho. It has started to change. People are now buying the old homesites for recreational property.
Here is a picture of Mom, Andrew, and Emily standing on the porch of an old home in Gilmore.
Andrew and I took a long ride up Pass Creek Canyon and over to and down Eight Mile Canyon. There were many scenic vistas along the way.
We also stopped by Pass Creek Lake. Unfortunately, we didn't purchase any Idaho fishing licenses.
We enjoyed stopping at Craters of the Moon. It looked about the same as it did 29 years ago when we saw it last. Rory was just a baby, not quite 2 years old.
We enjoyed climbing through the Indian Tunnel cave at Craters of the Moon National Monument.
We also stopped at EBR1 which was the first nuclear reactor to light an entire city (Arco, Idaho).
This is the outside of the building of the world's first nuclear power plant. It was a fun time being in Idaho. We also went to Evan and Emily's baby blessing (their third baby) in Idaho Falls on Sunday. Mom's brother, Steve, and his wife Valerie (Evan's parents), also traveled from Washington to be there. It was nice to see them again.
