Friday Fotos – Return to Thurston Lava Tube

Return to Thurston Lava Tube

Thurston Lava Tube - the exit in sight — The exit to Thurston Lava Tube approaches. The stairs lead back to the pathway, which takes you through a rain forest filled with greenery.

I posted another picture of the Thurston Lava Tube a few weeks ago. This shot was taken toward the end of the tube. The stair are visible, along with people who had been ahead of us. Inside the tube, it’s lit well enough to be able to see where you’re going, but not so bright as to make everything visible. It’s an eerie feeling being inside a tube of lava, watching water seep through the walls or from the roof. The lava tube is a popular destination, and tourists come from all over the world to see it and the rest of the magnificent Volcanos National Park.

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
