But first, let me tell you about my trip across Idaho. I stopped one night at Craters of the Moon National Monument.
And the next day, I toured the park.
There was lots of lava, but what I liked the best was all the flowers growing amongst the lava.
There were basically 3 different kinds blooming now, but this was my favorite.
There were lots of Spatter Cones and Lava Bombs.
I also stopped off in Boise to see the Capitol.
The inside is beautiful, with 4 different kinds of marble -
Although the 219 pillars are made of scagliola, a mixture of granite, marble dust, gypsum and glue dyed to look like marbel.
And of course, looking up to the dome is a gorgeous view.
Just outside the entrance to both the House and the Senate is a carpet with the Great Seal of the State of Idaho.
Outside the Capitol is a statue of Lewis and Clark meeting with Nez Perce Chief Twisted Hair back in 1805 on their trip to the Pacific.
And now for the Millionaire news - I have a million pageviews on the blog!
Wow, cool. When were you in Idaho? And, how come you didn't come see me. :-) Pat
