Mt. Lassen Part II

[create_destiny]

20,000 years ago the earth cracked open in a north eastern section of what is now known as California and a river of molten lava flowed out for sixteen miles. As the lava flowed, the outer part cooled and hardened while the inner part remained fluid and continued to flow. When all was said and done, what remained was one of the world's largest known lava tubes.





It was chilly down here, probably about 50 degrees, but we were hot so it felt great. You can walk through this entire cave without having to stoop. Well, unless your 6'2 like the bf who grazed the top of his head on the cave ceiling.



This cave has all sorts of demon derived names: the entrance is called, "The Devil's Doorway" and there's a portion inside called, "Lucifer's cul-de-sac."

You're joking about it being called Lucifer's cul-de-sac, right?

[createdestiny.livejournal.com]

No, I'm serious! It really is called that. I like to call it, "Lucifer's nut-sack" though.

It makes me think that hell has bad urban planning, and that Lucifer lives in a gated community.

so scary!

You should post that really freaky one of Dirk. I swear in that picture he looks like that Native American creature that supposedly lives in the cave...

[createdestiny.livejournal.com]

You mean the one where he looks like his face is melting?

[whosplittheatom.livejournal.com]

The one where his eyes are all bright red, and his teeth are showing, and in general he just looks pretty all-around scary.

I love the phrase "lava tubes"

were there bats??

[createdestiny.livejournal.com]

We didn't encounter any bats, but I wondered about that. It really felt like a bat cave down there and I half expected a shit-load of them to come pouring out at any moment.

Cool cave!

Crystals?!? I don't know what you're smoking, but there are no crystals. Sorry to disappoint you.

Lucifer's cul-de-sac

I sort of thought Lucifer would have nicer digs, being the Prince of Darkness and all that.
