Day 3: The Road to Bozeman

August 18, 2011...We broke camp early today by the river Malheur and began the long ride out of Oregon across Idaho and into Bozeman.  All along the scenery evolved into one magnificent and huge valley into the next, framed by the mountains on both side all along the way.

Along the way in Idaho we visited the Craters of the Moon National Monument, a field of lava that runs for miles and miles. Nothing but broken cinders of lava that look like iron swiss cheese. Beautiful.  You get the idea that this part of the world was not particularly friendly for many millions of years.

Eventually, we made our way to the Montana state line and began the drive into Bozeman.  There definitely is a reason why so many people have migrated to Montana! It was just one amazing scene after another. Unfortunately we cannot post many photos for all to see,  but it is amazing country.

Finally, after ten or twelve hours on the road, we walked into the Voss Inn in Bozeman.
