Hwy 26 to Pullman has some great basalt! But you can find it anywhere along the Columbia river gorge in central Washington.

Why am I being downvoted just for being curious which river the fish is from? Seriously people?

It's a very nice salmon and I love watching them spawn.

We are pretty happy in Jefferson county that Smiley wasn’t elected. Some of us anyway

No, but released it anyways. Hopefully it’ll make it up the river one more time.

I’m assuming he has to go out to use the facilities and I want to know what they use for a poop bag.

I have not heard of a volcano forecast lol. I’m guessing it’s for smoke or venting? I’m assuming it’s not for large eruptions because I think I would’ve heard about that. I could be wrong. Thanks for the heads up

Not exposed on the surface but Ape Cave near Mt. St. Helens is basalt: https://wa100.dnr.wa.gov/south-cascades/ape-cave

"Ape Cave formed about 2,000 years ago, when an 8-mile-long lava flow known as the Cave Basalt poured down the southern flank of Mount St. Helens. As it flowed, parts of the lava started to cool, forming a hardened crust and creating an insulated tube for the still-molten lava flowing inside. Scientists estimate that the lava in the Ape Cave tube continued moving for as much as a year. Eventually, the last of the molten lava drained out through the hardened tube, leaving the interior empty. Over time, sections of the hollow tube collapsed from above, creating several natural skylights. The largest of these collapsed sections now forms the entrance to the cave."

Cool.

In college I took Geology 101 and we took a field trip down to the south end of Lake Sammammish. You can find fossils right off the freeway.

I found my pictures of some of the stuff at Mt. Baker. Took these in 2003.

Where is this? I thought Washington was Unhenged.

Not clipped?

I agree with you on everything other than the retirees being conservative. Granted some of them are, but my personal experience with retirees moving to the coast is a lot of educators, lawyers, doctors- people who can afford to retire properly at the beach, left leaning. The conservative comes from the local population.

Not a rock guy but near Naches WA on white pass there’s a lot of column (basalt?) highway 12, white pass scenic byway

It’s economically depressed, so that indicates conservative. It’s a bit more of a mixed bag because many of the retirees are left leaning. Overall pretty Trumpy, which is funny because they complain about how awful liberal America and Seattle and Olympia look, but they live in utter poverty.

Be sure to check the volcano forecast before you go.

Game of Throwns though, right?
