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.

Devils Never Cry

Steel a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man
My chosen torture makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
A Freedom and a quest for life
Until the end the judgment night
Bless me with your gift of light
Righteous cause on judgment night
Feel the sorrow the light has swallowed
Feel the freedom like no tomorrow
Stepping forth a cure for soul's demise
Reap the tears of the victim’s cries
Yearning more to hear the suffer (of a)
Of a demon as I put it under
Killed before, a time to kill them all
Passed down the righteous law
Serve a justice that dwells in me
Lifeless corpse as far as the eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
The eye can see
(Clean Voice)
Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign
We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down
Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf
Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry
Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign
We are falling
The light is calling
Tears inside me
Calm me down
Midnight calling
Mist of resolving
Crown me, with the
Pure green leaf
Bless me with the
Leaf off of the tree
On it I see
The freedom reign
Praise to my father
Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry
(Demonic Voice)
Life of vengeance, a passive test
Until the grave I will rest
Engage the pressure until it crumbles
The existence of the lifeless black souls
Onward to the sacred battlefield
Where justification and limits are revealed
Tools of steel in rage they conquer
Weed out the killing of victim’s stalker
The powers proven to end the madness
Upon I take it to end the savage
The rays of light a truth of meaning
To my father the blood is pleading
A justice rage for all to feel
With innocent cries and hatred squeals
The gore of evil seems to satisfy
When slain an maimed and pacified
My chosen torture makes me stronger
In a life that craves the hunger
A Freedom and a quest for life
Until the end the judgment night
Watch the footsteps but never follow
If you want to live tomorrow
Steel a soul for a second chance
But you will never become a man

Our front yard is FULL of these Orange Hawkweed (Devils Paintbrush) flowers so before I cut the grass yesterday I had to shoot a pic of them :) When I got to this section I wound up going around them leaving the main patch there! The horse trails a quarter mile down the road is pure orange with them but I didn’t want to cut these. The neighbors are already less than impressed with my yard care and this probably doesn’t help but if I’m going to burn fossil fuels I’d rather do it in my Duc than in the mower :) I try to cut once a month whether it needs it or not! haha
The steep 88 step staircase took 600 convicts 16 years to dig. It was intended to provide an exit in the event Nassau was attacked. The Harbor is just beyond the sight of the camera. When an unidentified member of the British royal family saw it at the dedication, he remarked the area was superbly defendable until that walkway was installed!
