Arco is the home of the first nuclear reactor in the world but we were there on a weekend and couldn’t do the tour. We headed for the Craters of the Moon National Monument. Talk about a forbidding landscape! Caused by the same subterranean hot spot that caused the Yellowstone caldera, Craters is the result of volcanic activity with lava flows just 2000 years ago. We hiked to the top of Inferno Cone and explored the mouth of one of the lava tube caves. We camped at a little campground on the Snake River near Huntington, Oregon.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
Today’s excursion to The Victoria & Albert Museum established in 1857 gave us a glimpse into the Victorian world and a chance to see some glorious originals and copies up close.
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
