Alaska Journey Day 107 / by Dave Hileman

Moon Day

Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve was only 100 miles from our overnight and we planned to stay in the park’s campground, until we got there. The night would be neat as it is one of the really dark places but since we arrived late morning and we did the hikes and the drive and it is a park dedicated to lave and cinders, we decided we had seen enough and off to Idaho Falls for the night. Met a nice group of folks in the Cabela’s lot and chatted about various places to travel. Also got advice on the best route into the Yellowstone, Grand Teton area. Nice dinner in the trailer and pretty good ice cream from a local dairy, Reeds. 

Cadillac’s Most Correct Viewpoint

Gave a great speech in Idaho, easy to add to the win column. Even though this is not a very Moosey place, I’m a big hit. We are going next to Oming. That is one that Ms. McKinley found. She claims there are Moose, we’ll see. If so, the campaign will slip into high gear - otherwise, why Oming?
