Living across the Columbia at the time ..I was never that curious. Generally, wishing there was more distance between ‘us’ and that volcano.
the Columbia River Gorge is one of the prettiest places I've ever been. and they have some pretty decent ice cream at Multnomah Falls.
i went on a guided tour of one of these caves. very interesting. it wasn't a cave in the typical sense as much as a lava Passage. bizarre.
Yeah, I toured smaller ones in western NM in the lava fields of El Malpais
