New adventure "Lava Tubes"






These tubes go back about 200 feet before a collapsed area opens up to the sky again

       
 My buddy and I have been wondering what the lava tubes by Fillmore, Utah, were like so when he called me and asked if I wanted to go, I was all for it. They turned out to be interesting geological formations. We only went for a short day trip but got some interesting photos. I think sometime I'd like to go back and do some more exploring with a four-wheeler. But as it was, we had fun. We went down in his daughter's Subaru Outback and the road got fairly rough, complete with moguls. I'll have to say, I was impressed with how well the Subaru performed, not to mention the great gas mileage and plush interior. It was kinda like four-wheeling in a mini caddy.  'Twas a fun trip.
