A plant found commonly in Alaska which closely resembles the Cow Parsnip. Both have broad leaves but Devil's Club develops berries in late summer while Cow Parsnip has white flowers. This plant will sink its teeth in if you grab hold. The prickly spines will embed themselves into the skin. A cousin of ginseng which is being researched as a treatment for blood sugar issues like diabetes. Beware of bears that love the berries. Oplopanax horridus
Devil's Lake located off of Cascade Lakes Highway near Bend Oregon. The water at its max depth is 9ft. I wonder what makes it so green?
I'm in a wacky dance group called The Devil-Ettes. My hubbby has a kid's indie pop band called The Time Outs. We both got to perform together at this year's Maker's Faire. It was pretty fun!
The food pantry will be open to all students who struggle with food insecurity. They will have the opportunity to pick up non-perishable items in a shopping-style format.
The Devils Postpile is a dark cliff of columnar basalt near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The postpile was created by a lava flow sometime with the last 100,000 and 700,000 years. The source of the lava is thought to have been somewhere near Upper Soda Springs campground at the north end of Pumice Flat on the floor of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, from where it flowed to the site of the Postpile, was impounded by a moraine, and reached a thickness of 400 to 600 feet. The lava that now makes up the Postpile was near the bottom of this mass.
Because of its great thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical. Columnar jointing occurs when certain types of lava cool - the joints develop when the lava contracts during the cooling process.
In 1911, President Howard Taft made the area into a United States National Monument. The John Muir Trail and Pacific Crest Trail pass through the monument.
The columns average 2 ft in diameter (the largest being 3.5 ft) and many are up to 60 ft long. Together they look like tall posts stacked in a pile, hence the feature's name. Compared with other examples of columnar jointing, the Postpile has more hexagonal columns than most.
