We took a road trip in the new truck to see the tuff ring known as Fort Rock east of LaPine, OR.
A tuff ring is formed by volcanic eruptions under a deep lake. The "experts" say this salt water lake was over 180 feet deep. After the ring formed the lake level lowered & the wave action broke down one side. I will have some pictures to add in a few days when we have a better cell connection.
Also, in the small town of Fort Rock there is a Homesteaders Museum. The local historical society has brought in homesteader houses, cabins, a schoolhouse, a church & the general store & restored them. These buildings were built between 1912 & 1918 & have all been restored since 1988. Pictures to follow.
On our way back to Sunriver we found several geocaches. It was a very enjoyable trip.
