| Mother standing next to the big lava trench. this is a close in zoom shot. | Panned back... it's a big trench!! You can almost see her on the right side standing in the red trees. | Oh boy! Oh boy! A mud puddle!! | Blasting through the 6" deep puddle! Gotta wash the old 'Burb when I get home anyway! |

 |
| The other end of the big trench. Notice the pine trees growing from the floor. | A few souvenirs. Lucky me this time, she usually finds big, heavy rocks to take home! | The end of the line... | ...Good thing for heated mirrors! Keeps the rain off! I had to back up a long ways out of that last place. |

| It looks like I parked next to an explosion frozen in time doesn't it? | Looking North up USFS road # 720. | A trial leading to... | ...New Cave. There's been at least 150 caves discovered after this one, but names stick. The tunnel goes about 1/2 mile in each direction from this entrance. |

| Looking out while waiting for the bat flight at dusk. Except there wasn't any this time. Bummer. | Cave register sign. There's always a jar somewhere with a notepad to leave your name on... just in case you don't come back out. | So much for the bats... back to the general store for food, shower, and sleep. | Sunday sunshine!! Finally. Cody has to check out all the new sights & smells. Yours truly is at the wheel. |

| It would be hard to get tired of that rear view mirror scene. | Mount Adams. | Look out! Here comes a 1965 Suburban! | This house is at least 150 years old. The foundation is made of lava rock. |

| A pasture with a mountain view. | Looking at Mill creek from about 500 feet up. | A close-up view. | One last good view of Mt. Adams before we head back East.

| Mill Creek waterfall. | A valley just West of Goldendale Washington. | Looking in the other direction. The Klickitat River heading South. | There's a road on the other side of the river... except it doesn't look very passable. |

| Cody just can't keep his eyes open any more. Must be the hum of the tires. | A very old cemetery by Cleveland WA. | Some date back to the last century. This one is typical of the dates on the stones here. | This is what is left of a farm. It burned in the Mabton range fire. |

| The fire burned several thousand acres. | A food stop at a rest area. Cody thinks he's getting a bite of turkey ham. Nice try, Cody. Now, quit drooling! |
