Crack In The Ground

As mentioned by Dave Lister in a comment last week. I love not only the feature but also its "don't need a high-falutin' fancy-schmancy title" name. It's two miles long, and 70 feet deep. The Oregon Outback site gives information on its location, and other nearby attractions such as Fort Rock and Hart Mountain. A great area for a weekend trip, especially camping.

What I thought was interesting about crack in the ground was how much cooler it was down there than on the surface. I remember a big cave nearby also... maybe near Christmas Valley. The locals said they used to play softball in it. If Hart Mountain is what I'm thinking of, we camped on it one night. There was a ranger lookout there. Dave Lister
