Arco via INL

February 23rd, 2010 Posted by Darren

Yesterday I took a trip to the Idaho National Laboratory to photograph a building they’re demolishing. I arrived a little early so I quickly (like 65 mph) photographed three dormant volcanoes along the highway in the area.

I then took a detour home through Arco, ID. Arco is a small farming community whose two claims to fame are:
1. It is “The first city in the world to be lit by nuclear power”
2. Its proximity to Craters of the Moon National Monumnet.

It’s a cool little town. I made a few quick photographs of the hand-decrorated signs and building in the city.

    I fear that you left off one important fact about Arco. (Maybe two) … I was born there and went to high school there. Items at least as unimportant as the ones you mention.
