"On the road again". Here we go, on a four day, four state, 1592 mile marathon. Our first destination? Craters of the Moon National Park in Idaho, and from then on it's flying driving by the seat of our pants. Talk about sensory overload...we were blown away by the sights and sounds of the west. Many of the pictures were taken through the windshield, simply to illustrate the variety of scenery. A map of our route can be found here.

As always, please click the thumbnail for an enlargement and some commentary.
