Hell's Half Acre lava flow, Idaho
Only two other vehicles appear to have spent the night in the campgrounds we were in last night. By morning it was calm so we fortunately didn’t have to drive into the wind again today. We stopped at a highway rest stop not far south of Idaho Falls. Called “Hell’s Half Acre” it had a walking trail of about a kilometre across the lava flow there, with interpretive signs describing both the lava and the vegetation.
We were in to Salt Lake City by noon, and stopped at REI where we bought a rack and pack to mount on my bike. We also bought groceries there, then drove on, through a very busy freeway and a lot of construction as we left the city area. We are about 100 km south of Salt Lake City tonight, stopped in a Flying J Travel Plaza. We hope that it isn’t too noisy.
