DRIVE (Day 2 - part 5)

On the drive, we continued to pass numerous lava fields.

All this volcanic soil ... and water ... makes for very fertile ground.

Passing through the town of Shoshone

Passing miles upon miles ...

... of cattle farms

And then just a few miles farther, these cows get free pasture life!

We arrived at our friend's house (who was away for the month), checked in with the neighbors (who knew we were going to be staying), then headed out to find someplace to eat. Again, everything was closed. We eventually found a Denny's that was open. They were so severely short-staffed that it took them a long time to seat and serve us. But after such a long day, we were grateful for the rest ... and eventually for the yummy food.
