We took several walks around the geyser areas and enjoyed all the colors in the pools and geysers. The smell - not so much!
Ken carried the camera and tripod all over and I know that some of the photos he took are going to be spectacular. These photos are just from my phone.
We left Yellowstone yesterday afternoon and drove to an area in Idaho near Craters of the Moon National Monument. This morning we drove into the park and explored. It has fascinating volcanic rock formations for miles and miles. The visitors center was a good place to start. We learned a lot about different types of volcanic rock before we drove the 7 mile loop where we could see examples of those rocks we had just learned about. There were several places to stop and take a short hike. The place we took this picture is at the top of what is called a spatter cone. You could look down into the cone - it's kind of like a mini mouth of a volcano.
So, we are back home now and these next few days I am planning to stay home. These are the days when the white blood cell count after chemo is at the lowest ebb, so I will be very careful to stay away from any chance of catching something!
Things I am thankful for:
- The incredible beauty and amazing variety of this world that God created for us.
- A husband who likes to take last minute road trips.
- Feeling good enough to take a road trip!
