A view of the Bumpass Hell geothermal area from the trail leading down to it. This is the most well known of the park's geothermal features. In fact, it is the largest geothermal area in the US outside of Yellowstone.
It is named after Kendall Vanhook Bumpass, an explorer who lived in the area in the 1860's. One day, he was showing some people the area when his leg fell through the muddy crust covering a mud pot, severely burning his leg. The hell part of the name should be obvious.
Hundreds of people from across the country flock to the small town of Hell, Michigan to celebrate June 6, 2006 (6/6/6).
A surprise trip to one of the still-remaining Rax restaurants, courtesy of Rax fan statlerhotel. His photo from an earlier trip to this place, part of a whole set about Rax: www.flickr.com/photos/statlerhotel/2662427277/ Such a long trip, I thought it was worth it to have a shake when we showed up and another for the drive back, and managed to survive having both those, a sandwich, and fries!

Bronze casting of Rodin's sculpture at the National Museum of Western Art. There's a huge photo exhibition explaining how they've placed it atop a base to isolate it from earthquakes.
in my house we shall begin
a night on the rocks, and there's no charge
in this land
right now
some are insane, but they're in charge
we'll get drunk on cheap wine!
(Surprised I didn't get to Gang of Four in the last Jukebox week. They're one of my favorite bands, although I don't actively seek them out much any more. I listened to nothing but Entertainment! for about 6 months in college and burned out on them. What that means now is that every time they come up on shuffle I'm surprised again by how damn good they are.)
