Saturday 25.7. (Lava Beds)

It is a cold morning (6 C degrees), we wake up pretty early, omit the breakfast and head toward Lassen to the north. We make a stop at Subway Cave which is a lava tube pretty simmilar to the goal of today's drive (Lava Beds). We got there aroung the noon and walk through several most interesting ones -- all of the caves are possible to be explored without a guide and we did it without helmets and with only one good flashlight (thanks, Michal). The caves are not ornamentally rich as it is in the majority of our caves, but they are interestingly shaped, freely available, and a man can climb through them the whole day without meeting too many people. In the evening we arrive to the Crater Lake Park -- almost round lake in the kaldera; the deepest lake in the USA with unbelievably blue water. We stopped only to take few pictures (soon, it will get dark but tomorrow we will take a closer look on it), and set up the tents in camp. A change in comparison to yeasterday -- plenty of moskytos.
