Lava Tank and Pump House
| July 16, 2009 06:50PM |
As you may have seen in the train-less photo thread I was at Lava Tank about a week ago. I did it the hard way starting at the river that fed it and hiking in. I know that is crazy but I wanted to see what the run was like for the pipe line.
The starting point at the pump house. It gets tougher to get in the front door every year with the growth around it.
This is about where the house was that the pumper stayed at. Did the Friends try to outline the location with stones?
Here is the first climb that I face. Right up the depression in the center of the shot. If you look closely you might see part of a pipe 2/3 of the way up.
