This was a bit of a different trip for us, a new experience. We did not travel far but had a heck of a good time. The story is posted on our blog and can be found here -

Looks like an atypical Ski3Pin trip, but a really nice one. Great park, and Volcano looks like a super interesting place. Were you tempted to try the moose milk?

Thanks for sharing!

Oh, and congrats to Cathy on here upcoming retirement and new life as an RV owner! Let me know when you’re doing the blueberry pancakes...

I enjoyed your report. Seems the ladies missed an excellent chance to test the new trailer's kitchen by making blueberry pancakes for you- another lesson learned. :P Oh well, maybe next time...

Worked allot of years in that country both in and before BLM and your TR brings back allot of good memories and stories. Seems to me (I think) that some time in the deep dark past, I worked on a project  with BLM in the 70's that transferred some Public land to the  the Grinding Rock site. That place is really interesting and as an interpretive/educational  site is very well done and one of the best-we need more of these. Ah the memories!!! Thanks guys!

Back in the late 80's we went to the Volcano/Indian Grinding Rock several times.

Really impressed with the Grinding Rock SP.

Also saw a couple shows at the play house.Great times and nice to see them all these years latyer.

Thanks for the nice report and taking the time to share.

That is a nice, quick trip and those are always better than no trip at all.  I can't think of two better people to get Cathy on the right track for her camping future.

Ski, nothing like a good interpretive/educational trip. Very interesting place. We have found these type of trips to be very relaxing and grasping every bit of history one can uncover. Thanks for sharing. jd

Thanks Mr. Sage! No moose milk for us .........unless we come upon a moose and get a stupid idea of trying to milk it. Don't suspect that'd happen.

Yes, they say the largest in North America.
