People were sent through in small groups with the lead person holding a lamp. Then all the groups would stop at a certain spot while the guide would explain what we were looking at in German. I don't speak German. I was traveling with two friends, one who had studied German at UC Berkeley. We had been grouped with two English fellows who also didn't speak German. We stopped to look at a mass of ice and the guide began his spiel. We were all looking around, not having a clue as to what was being said. My one friend, who was a bit dense when it came to jokes, was busy listening. I finally said, "What's he saying?" She said, "He says it's the ice kings organ." There was a pause and then my other friend and I and the two English fellows started laughing. We couldn't stop. And yet the friend who had translated didn't get it. It was at least an hour later as we were walking down the mountain from the cave when she finally realized the joke and THEN she laughed and said, "Haaaaaa! The ice kings organ!"<br /><br />I had not known about these caves near Tule Lake. I'll have to put that on my "to visit" list.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-45875455926964902002013-06-30T13:29:33.873-07:002013-06-30T13:29:33.873-07:00As a Californian I'm ashamed that I've nev...As a Californian I'm ashamed that I've never been to this wonderful site.

G...The Lava Beds look fascinating & beautiful. Gosh, my husband used to go duck hunting over in Tule Lake & at night the gang would relax in the hot springs there. That last photograph with the petroglyphs written over the imprint of a fish is interesting. I wonder if the fish actually is an ancient imprint in the rock? Probably is. Lava flows have created some very unique forms in California. Here in Tuolumne County we have Table Mountain - a long winding flat mountain created 9 million years ago when a huge volcanic eruption sent lava flowing into the original Stanislaus River displacing the water & hardening. Over time the softer earth around the hardened lava wore away leaving the ancient riverbed high & dry.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-28989203921099231442013-06-30T09:21:40.447-07:002013-06-30T09:21:40.447-07:00What a wonderful place.
