Wednesday we powered through Idaho to get to Craters of the Moon National Monument. So in the middle of the high desert, now we are in a sea of black rock with no shade anywhere. The sea of black rock was broken occasionally by tiny little flowers- spring on the lava flow. It really is stunning, but as I stood in the visitor center native plants garden under the one tree in walking distance, I realized once again that this would be a hot hard life without trees. Wuggy Norple emerged from the tour an official Junior Ranger. He pledged to take care of nature and to share what he had learned.
