Idaho. Desert, Craters of the Moon and Boise

After Jackson, we decided to rack up miles so we could have more slack in the upcoming days. We rode through the south of Idaho and skipped the National Forests of the north. We were Ok just burning fuel and rubber. We thought we may need the time later.

We had an amazing breakfast at a place called Scracth. We stopped at a small town junction in Idaho and asked around for a place to eat and landed there. It would be worth to drive 15-20 miles from Jackson just to eat there. Seriously.

We then rose through the Idaho desert in 95F degree heat. Not much to see on either side of the road, and that may be the reason why the first nuclear reactor was tested there. If something blew, it would be Ok.

We stopped at the Craters of the Moon National Monument. It was created because of a fissure/eruption that spewed lava all over the place. We were told it's on a 2,000-year cycle and it's due for activity now.

We arrived to Boise Idaho at sunset 370 miles later. We found out that the city had a Basque area downtown and decided to have a late start the next day to check it out and grab a bite. We also made sure to buy Spanish Chorizo that would make a couple nice meals when camping.

We now were ready to tackle Oregon and make into Washington State.
