Inies and Outies

No, we aren’t talking about belly buttons😊

We are talking about volcanoes, or what is left of an old volcano.


‘Devil’s Tower’ in Wyoming is an outie, a solid core plug being all that is left of an old volcano.

Devil’s Tower picture from last summer.

‘Hole in the Ground’ in Oregon is an inie, a huge hole from an old volcano that sunk in on itself because it erupted under water…so we were told.

Camping right at the rim of Hole in the Ground. It is 1 mile across and 3 miles around.
This is as far as I could zoom in with my telephoto lens. The can to the left of the kids is a huge trash barrel.
A few side by sides drove down in…to give you a better scale.

A very simple analysis, but all in all a lesson in how cool Mother Nature is😎
