Prepare yourself to read about the most epic Saturday roadtrip that ever took place. Folks, it started out in Rexburg, Idaho. Then going to Atomic City, ID...the first 'city' to ever run on atomic power. population:25. Here we stopped at the town bar/gas station and took some pictures, visited the "recreational park" and lost a wallet. Yes, lost a wallet. We cruised the town and then headed out.

We stopped at the 1st Nuclear Plant...and then Arco Idaho (where quite the even took place later in the evening...read on...)
Next stop:
Craters of The Moon!!! We arrived at the visitors center and this is when we realized the wallet was lost. We decided to look around and then try to get a hold of the gas station later. At Craters of The Moon we hiked up Inferno Cone, an 18 story basaltic cinder cone (whatever that means) It was a mountain made of black stones...it overlooked the lava planes. we took pictures.
We hiked around the lava cave areas & went down into Indian Tunnel. The lava flow (what's the other name for 'lava flow'? hahaha) was so awesome looking! It was the perfect day to be outside.

It had been foreclosed & never finished...gah! Even though it said 'No Trespassing', we had to, we just had to! Look at this place! it's absolutely AMAZING! Be on the lookout for a reality show based on 6 designers who finish this home. It will be the best show ever! Just FYI.
{Did we take down the rope to drive down the driveway?.......never.........Look at the driveway! rock walls & all. geeeeesh}
We finally made it to Sun Valley. Of course, the shops were closing but we walked around town, had lunch and then went geocaching. Have you ever gone geocaching? it's like treasure hunting, and i kind of love it. Then we got dessert at
Cornerstone Bar & Grill. This place was awesome. It felt more like I was sitting in a restaurant in Upper East Side, Manhattan. And you know how much i love NY.
On the way home we stopped a couple times looking for more goecaches, sang at the top of our lungs & almost got gang raped. (don't worry mom, that's really exaggerating)
*enter 'quite the event' i mentioned earlier"*
Did you know it's hard to find a bathroom in small town in Idaho, well it is. Even when it's only about 10:30 pm. However, bars are open late. So here we are, this bar is the only thing that's open & we all have use the bathroom. So we enter. There are only about 10 people, they're drunk and dancing to hip hop music. we laugh. we walk to the back. of course it's a oner. (you know, like only one bathroom, so you have to wait in the hall) we do our business, we walk out. We all pile back into the car. Here walk out 2 guys, drinks in hand, look around, notice our car. Walk over to my window, knock on it "Hey you guys are cute!"...somewhere along those lines. I'm about to bust out laughing, here is this guy knocking on my window, i'm looking the other way, trying to ignore him & here is Matt-just sitting there in park. seriously? let me tell you what matthew said, and i quote "I guess i should drive away."
*note to self: never trust Matt to get us out of an awkward situation*
Another geocach later we arrive back in Atomic City-wallet had been found. We try to feed deer cheese nips, we see eyes lurking in the darkness, Lysa screams.
Nothing I say can give this trip justice. It was epic.
