Trip Back in Time

We went to visit Mom and give her a late Mother's Day gift today and on the way home, we took the old highway. It's in better shape than the last time we tried it, they've replaced the many gates that we had to stop to open and close, with cattle guards and bladed off the broken pavement, so it's a much smoother ride. It was cool to see some of the old landmarks we remembered, but sadly some we looked for are gone now. What we called the Queen's table and the King's table, two huge flat rocks perched on top of pedestals, have fallen. I love the part of the road that runs through the lava field, it reminds me of the bad lands in New Mexico. Pretty rough going if you were to try walking through it! We were looking for one of the old milepost markers, they were made of concrete and the numbers were molded in. We didn't find one, but we had a nice ride down memory lane.
