Those Young Guys – Finding Our Way
We headed south out of Salt Lake City with a bit of rain showers and a few thunderstorms here and there. We crossed over the pass between the Markagunt Plateau and the Tushar Mountains on Highway 20. It is a road we have driven many times and it seems like

We drove from Dillon, Montana south to Idaho going through Idaho Falls and continued to the North Blackfoot rest area. The area is known for its lava rocks as some 4,000 years ago the crust opened up and lava flowed out about 17 miles northwest of this area and eventually
