Perfect weather for the first day of our trip! We said goodbye to the cat and left at 9:00AM sharp. First stop, as every time we head east on the freeway, was the Boise Stage truck stop for breakfast.
Then across on Route 20 to one of our favorite places, Craters of the Moon National Monument. My goal for today was to hike to the top of Inferno Cone. I've done it several times over the years, but I was thwarted when my knees went bad. Now that I've had both knees replaced, I'm ready to make the climb!
The climb was "easy"! As usual, gale force winds at the top but the views are spectacular. There are lots of yellow Rabbit Brush in bloom making for some good photo ops.
We arrived in Rexburg at the usual Best Western motel about 6:00PM. Nice dinner at a place called Fresco. Like most places in Idaho, Rexburg seems to be booming! New commercial construction everywhere! And, it looks like they're getting a SECOND LDS temple?
