Bubbling earth / Mt. Lassen // Sep 29, 2009 // Comments [0]
This is from the area In Mt. Lassen (N. Calif.) know as "Bumpass Hell". It's a boiling, bubbling morass of steam and hot earth in the volcanic park. The story goes that Mr. Bumpass tried to lay claim to this part of land early in the 20th century and while scoping the premises out, fell through the top layer of earth into the volcanic muck. Sadly, he lost his leg in the incident (and never returned to stake his claim!) The next few shots are also from a recent trip to Lassen.
