Note: Don't know why March 17 2017 re-posted!?!?

Stayed in TuleLake, CA for a couple nights to visit Lava Beds NM.  A lot of volcanic activity in northern CA over the last million years or so.  The main attraction at Lava Beds are the lava tube caves.

Here's Some pics...

Campsite at TuleLake fair grounds, no facilities, just a nice GRASSY full hookup site.

Going in Upper Sentinel cave.

Roof clasped in the distant past leaving a very rocky floor.

Inside Valentine cave. Unlike Sentinel cave, lava just stopped flowing and solidified, leaving cave intact.  Lava tube passed around this pillar of rock.

Last gasp!

Mt Shasta from Lava Beds NM.  It's June 2017 and still lots of snow.
