Hi All,
Two days of driving east from Newport brought us to Hagerman in south central Idaho. We spent a busy days taking in the sights; some we knew about, others were pleasant surprises.
Malad Gorge is a beautiful state park
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument displays many 3.2 million year old fossils. This is the lower jaw from a ten foot tall camel!
Fossils we're excavated from the sedimentary cliffs above the Snake River. Near this spot we saw a section of the Oregon Trail with a series of parallel rut where hundreds of settlers passed in their covered wagons on the way to a better life.
We visited the site of the Minidoka Internment camp where 10,000 Japanese Americans were held during WWII. This National Historic Site is a sad, forlorn place, befitting the shameful period in our history that it recalls. The photo is from 1943.
Thousand Springs State Park had this magnificent waterfall
Tomorrow we drive to Grand Teton.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
