Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Mountains of Montana

5/20/18 Sunday thru 5/21 Monday Twin Falls, ID to Malmstrom AFB, MT

We left Twin Falls and took the backroads to Craters of the Moon National Monument.  It's a giant lava field, thousands of years old, that stretches for miles in the sagebrush plains.  We drove through the 7 mile park road loop, stopping to walk a couple of the trails and have lunch.  Unlike two years ago when it was cloudy and rained, the weather has been clear and sunny.

We went to the last national forest campground in Idaho for Sunday night and had the place to ourselves.

Monday morning we headed into Montana, landing in Great Falls at Malstrom AFB for a couple nights to catch up on some housekeeping.  The mountains here are blanketed in yellow flowers and green shoots.
