Fantastic drive today. Beautiful scenery and no traffic. I could drive in the middle of the road for miles. Arco is near the Idaho National Laboratory which is our center of nuclear research. Some of the 900 residents of Arco work there. We are here primarily to explore Craters of the Moon National Monument, which is 20 miles away. We were here once before with the kids, tent camping, and we didn't do much exploring. We have 2 full days here so we should be able to completely knock this park off our list. That pic with the numbers painted on the rocks above town has an interesting story. Once a year there is a highschool reunion that includes every graduating class. Last year thousands of people attended. The class number painted on the rocks gets a new coat of paint until that becomes impossible. A cool tradition. More tomorrow.
Interesting about the class and whole class graduating to get numbers up. Alot of pressure from the class mates. Glad the drive wasn't too stressful
