Skiff at Craters of the Moon – September 2019

Sunday September 29: Not only can I smell snow, I can see the snow this morning at Craters of the Moon National Monument in southern Idaho, where Clifford and I are camped. It is only a skiff, but foggy, which seems strange as there are no streams or rivers nearby. I dress warmly before walking to the restroom and then hiking up to the lava knoll where I can get cell service to send a text or two. Mostly I am excited to take a few photos in the misty ambiance.

The wind picks up…
…and the fog deepens

Today is mostly a day of inside activities, being too chilly to be outside with the heavy overcast and wind.

A good day for inside activities
