>> Maybe there are some caves in this area to explore… Then DO see Lava Tubes National Monument at the north border of your state! The caves were formed as the molten lava flowed away. Hot in the center and cooler at the surface, it left the tubes. Then additional lava flowed, leaving some of the caves looking like carefully crafted highway tunnels: smooth, flat "roadways," and even curbings and "sidewalks!" There's something like a hundred of them, some thoroughly mapped, some looong and straight, and some intricate, crawl-on-your-belly-claustrophobic and labyrinthine. A wonderful project for lofted mapping!
