City of Rocks April 2014

We went to City of Rocks, Idaho in April 2014.  City of Rocks is a great world-famous climbing/hiking place in southern central Idaho.  While there we watched some climbers with a death wish who climbed the rock without any ropes or gear.  Scary!

Scott was pretty tired and didn't feel up to climbing very much.  But he did do some "low" climbing (w/o any gear, but he really wasn't too high up).

And it turns out this was a stop along the Oregon Trail! This was a fun place to learn about.

The funniest part of this trip was that Amy fell asleep on the drive home.  Amy, the Navigator/map-reader, fell asleep and her really nice husband didn't want to wake her up.  He figured that he drove us there, so he could remember the way to get home.  Turns out there were more turns than he remembered, so when Amy woke up after a half-hour nap, we were driving in the opposite direction from where home would be.  And there were no exits for another 30 min, so our 3-hour drive took FIVE HOURS.  In the future, Scott will make an effort to be less nice and Amy will take fewer naps. :)
