Our Home, Lava, Mountains and a fine Sunset |
Under the top black layer the lava could be almost any color. |
Terri and Collette in one of many caves we explored. |
Once you are in a cave it gets very dark. This is looking back up to the entrance. No steps, just loose lava rocket to walk down to a much smoother cave floor. |
So Terri is none to sure of my new "Northwest Hiker Guy" look. I think the floppy hat, red suspenders, white socks and hiking boots make me look just like the guy on the commercial. What do you think? Is it working for me?
So how much lava is out there? It extends beyond the horizon even when you are standing at the top of a cinder cone. You could fit the whole state of Rhode Island inside the massive black flow.
A Park Ranger told us that an early explorer described the area as, "It looks like the devil vomited." Not a nice description but pretty darn close.
We camped on the Moon for two nights and took off Northeast toward Yellowstone this morning. We are camped at a full service RV park across from Henry Lake for two day until our reservation in Yellowstone starts September 11th through the 22nd.
All is well with the 4 of us: Terri, Russ, Collette and Abbey the wonder dog. It's nice to have a dog to scratch.
Pretty cool pictures. Not sure about the one of your new duds.... Are you still taking it easy? How are you feeling? Keep the posts coming.
ReplyDeleteI think I gotta go with Terri & Sara about Northwest Hiker Guy; I'm not too sure about that get-up, Dad. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. No.
