Vacation Day 2 – Helena, MT to Cedar City, Utah

Our second day of traveling has been fairly uneventful…  We tried to make up time lost the day before so we’d be closer to Vegas…

First thing, we stopped at Wal-Mart in Helena and loaded up with some food…  That place has everything!  And it’s sure handy having a 12V Cooler in the car so we can prepare food on the way, instead of spending a bunch of money on fast food.

The path through Idaho and Utah was extremely scenic as we got into the mountains…  The van was having a hard time climbing some of those hills!

We stopped for lunch at a rest area that had a nearby trail, called “Hell’s Half Acre”, so we walked around that and snapped a few pictures of what was a lava flow a few thousand years ago… Pretty interesting to see all the hardened lava and holes where the rock was so heavy that it caved into the ground below…

We plan to head into Vegas today (Monday) and check out the sights…  We will upload more pictures when we get there!
