My roommates and I took another summer road trip. We started off driving to Idaho and it's a beary long drive for a little fox. About 12 hours to our destination,City of Rocks National Monument.
It wasn’t really a city but there were many rock formations throughout. I was hoping we would see some fossils but it's not that kind of area.
Since it was beary hot in the city (about 100 degrees which is hot for a little fox). I made the executive decision to take the
driving tour. Lots of interesting rock
formations in the city for example this formation is called Chicken Claw, which I thought was a beary good name. 
Hanging out at the arch, I believe this one is Window Arch.
My roommate is back on his kick of taking picture of strange signs. Apparently he thinks it's funny that there is a practice rock, he kept saying that if the rock practiced and practiced it would be a real rock some day (sigh, humans)....
Since it was so hot we decided to explore a few other
areas of Idaho. My roommate took me on
a tour of the Minidoka Interment Camp.
It is a historical site where many Japanese who lived on the west coast
of the US were sent during WWII to work and live (against there will). It was a whole community with schools, farms, and a swimming
hole. Most of the interpretive signs
were from the human perspective and I kept bugging my sekbreabeary to research
information about the camp from the Stuffy perspective. Interestingly this never happened, (it’s
hard to find good help these days isn’t’ it?).
*****Note: My sekrebeary just informed me that the picture of me at the camp is missing. Excuse me while I have to deal with some personnel issues. *****
Some beautiful photos! We hope that at least your seKretary brought all the things to make smores!
ReplyDeleteThanks, come to think of it I didn't get any smores. In fairness to my sekrebeary it might have been too warm for smores (if you can believe that).
DeleteIdaho is supposed to be lovely and full of potatoes. Nice to see they have other attractions as well... Practice Rock?? (Rolling of little bear eyes) Have you been to Craters of the Moon? They are cool too... or so I have heard! Mama never takes me anywheres... sigh.
ReplyDeleteI was at Craters of the Moon many moons ago. It was beary cool and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think it's time for your mother to plan a road trip for you. You could call it "Sandy's Stuffy Tour 2014" or some other catchy name.
We hope you get to visit the Badlands in South Dakota too! it is beary cool!
DeleteI would love to visit the badlands.....but not on this trip. Perhaps when I go to the badlands I can road trip to your place (or we could meet at Wall Drug :)
DeleteI know!! I am craving a road trip or a camping trip!
