Thanks for your wonderful comment @tawasi. You're absolutely right about the volcanic rock, it's time for a trip to ER if you fall for sure. I remember actually having a few scratches on my hands after juggling those rocks lol

Where you are in Oregon sounds cool. I am aware I'm a bit of an oddball when it comes to these sorts of things but I'd love to go hiking in your kneck of the woods. I think it's a desire to always seek out the strange and inspiring places in this world, even though I know it's dangerous, I love scuba diving also and that's a dangerous sport. I guess it's pretty safe trekking volcanic areas these days as long as you keep track of the local monitoring services. I agree it's awful what has happened in Hawaii + Indonesia... But inevitable.

Thanks for reading my post 🙂
