Victor, Idaho to Sun Valley via the Craters of the Moon
We left Victor, ID and drove several hours through rural Idaho, stopping along the way at Craters of the Moon State Park. This was another opportunity for a junior ranger program, so we grabbed the form. And then we drove on, eventually making it up to Hailey and Ketchum in Sun Valley, where we shopped around a bit and had some ice cream before settling in our RV park.

| The FIRST and ONLY campfire of our trip! I can't believe we hauled firewood so far and this was our only chance to burn it -- and ironically, in a town that was already on fire. |

Once at the RV park, we started to notice the sky turning grey as smoke from forest fires on the other side of the mountain range turned the sun orange. The next morning, our campsite was covered in ash. One day after leaving, we learned they had started started evacuations from the valley.
