What did you accomplish today?

We've got all flint around here.
Nothing like seeing mega sparks when steel hits the ground.

That shit is HARD!

You must have all sorts of arrowheads.

Gotta love living in a volcanic area.

Shit. Paradise had way more recent volcanic shit you might have to blast through. That pyroclastic flow layer, we called it cap up there, is some fucked up shit man. It’s like a 10-20’ layer of concrete

What I remember from near Sonora is inches of laterite clay on rock that was too hard to work and too soft to build on,

Wasn't that bad up the hill further in DeSable.

They had to drill through serpentine for the well though.

This whole area, where mt. Lassen is on now, used to be super volcanic. I can’t remember the year but it wasn’t really all that long ago when the last volcano erupted.

Like a century ago. I drank up volcano books when I was a kid.

You can totally see that pyroclastic flow material next to skyway going way up past even Inskip

The wall of serpentine by Magalia dam also, that stuff looks strange after the heat of the fire. Used to be a nice green color.

 

[Aeroknow]

All the “Buttes” in this county were carved out of volcanic flow material.
Btw, you guys ever check out the flows on the big island? I have. 3 different times. Awesome shit. My best buddy lived up in volcano

Toward Knights Ferry there was the terminus of Table Mountain, a sinuous flat-topped terrain feature born of a lava flow that was harder to erode than the other stuff. Like 8 million years old, and I imagine tons of placer gold under there.

The lava flows up east of Lassen are impressive, some big deer up there also.

Funny thing. A stupid FALSE rumor around here.
Lames thought that the Sutter Buttes were sheared off of our table mountain lmao. False!

Asbestos, found a rock by the feather with some on it I thought looked cool. Kept it for awhile until I figured out what is was.

No, they have their own personal volcanic machismo

The Buttes are actually the center of an ancient volcano, and also the smallest mountain range in the world.

 

[Aeroknow]

We have 2 different state rocks now don’t we?

Yup. Thats the sutter buttes.
You know where Black Butte lake is? That was also a volcano hot spot when it was over that same vent. It’s now under Lassen.
