I was near volcanoes on the 4th of July too! Just got back. Wanted to thank you for the kind words and links. And now I'll add my admiration for your own stoicism in making it up the trail with bursitis, and for being such a good Mom. You're a great role model. Be safe and keep happy. P.S. What kind of parent would not provide a child the proper foot gear to climb Mt. Lassen?? Flip flops indeed! http://thoughtyoudneverask.blogspot.com/ How kismet!

We had a pine-paneled cabin with Hudson Bay blankets on the bed. It was the end of June, but the snowpack was such that we could not hike to the peak, NOR to Bumpass Hell. We went back on our tenth anniversary, but to the other side, near the Cinder Cone. I ended up staying at the "ranch" with some kind of stomach thing while Gail rode horses and enjoyed the vacation! Ah well. There's always another chance! Gail and I spent the first few days of our honeymoon there in 1969 — Manzanita Lake Lodge, now defunct.

Haven't been where you are but we did walk thru a lava tube on the Big Island in Hawaii one year. It was really cool to do. Our son was 13 at the time and he was diggin' it. Safe travels.

Enjoy, and keep a look out for bald eagles, we saw one. I was there for 10 days three weeks ago, beautiful, fun and relaxing, not sure why I came back.

It's one of my favorite places ever! If you see this before you go... be sure to take it a bit slow - a lot of the joy is in the little things - the features on the roof or side walls. A lot of people blow past all the cool stuff because they're trying to get to the end. I assume you’re headed to Lava Tubes National Monument? It’s one of my favorite places ever!
