While I was driving along the Salmon River I noticed some really nice sites.  I need come back here one day.  When I do, be sure to check out O’Brian Camp site #4 - it’s dope man.

 

Fueled up at Mackay along the “Peaks and Craters” scenic byway.

Took a detour, and decided to check out Craters of the Moon National Preserve. Absolutely stunning, and strange….Volcanic fields for miles. Drove south to Carey, ID and found BLM sites near a creek in a big brown grass prairie.  Also beautiful.  The sun is setting right now the wind is gusting.  An older couple from LA is also here!  Lorraine (wife) is trying to learn photography and Gary (husband) is a fucking rocket scientist that just retired from JPL. They moved to Salt Lake last year.  She says there will be a meteor shower at 2am tonight.  I should explore this creek next to my tent.
