oh yea..bobcats are a thing of concern...we have a rabies epidemic in the area just now...so i admit..i ran back to the car fast...lol

yes...crust of mud in the center of the lake...about 1 foot of water...size of an average stock pond...

we have had this drought going on for years...get a couple of good snow storms...then poof...clear sky and wind...

there does seem to be a bit more water around this year...but this drought is hanging on...

Alot of area here under flood warning but, i am trying hard not to complain cause in 2 weeks we will want more rain and a breeze! Tonight predictions are flooding areas 70mile winds up to softball size hail, and possible tornados!

Boy! That sure looks like a glory hole dosen't it? Comming from Colorado I have ran into a few...Literally! Is there Gold in that field? That may explain the "caved in" Effect. Very cool looking picture nevertheless!

caved in: this is a lava flow...not many metallic minerals found up here...the lava left large caverns under the surface...it appears this was a lava flow that caved in long after the original lava flow...
about 50 miles northeast, there is a cavern...said to be large enough for a 20 story building to sit without touching the walls...the entrance is called the "blow hole"....as wind comes out of the earth at 30+mph.
i had hoped to enter this one, even though it is a dead hole, no wind...
a fellow was doing some research on the cavern system in the 1960's, claimed to have traced the system to verde valley, 50+ miles south...he research is suspect...but the forest service/national park service have closed the entrances soooooo...i keep looking for a new entrance.
