So... Once we left Jackson Hole Wyoming we traveled across Idaho to Sun Valley. Past or present home of the rich, famous, and powerful, including Ernest Hemingway, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sun Valley is a very affluent area but in the off-season even us normal folk can afford to stay a few days.
Along the way we passed two points of interest. The worlds first nuclear power plant,
Craters of the Moon National Monument
Which was also mostly closed, as was Yellowstone and Grand Teton, but we did take a walking path through some of the lava which was cool. We decided to take a family portrait also!
Ally, Marisa, and Willy
It was extremely cold for some Floridians (20s) so we moved on after collecting a couple of unique rocks, not from the park but from nearby, this was frowned upon to take rocks from the park and we are good kids!
Once we arrived at Sun Valley we actually stayed in the town of Ketchum which is right next to Sun Valley and closer to Bald Mountain (as seen above in the picture).
More to come....

Experimental Breeder Reactor I
