Croc- yes, those basalt columns are so interesting. They run all throughout the NW in the volcanic areas..they are always, or nearly always, hexagonal in cross section. If you find ar area where the soil is very thin, or has been blown away, it looks like you are walking hexagonal tiles. I use small sections of those columns to create water fountains in my gardens, sometimes. When the columns break, they always leave one side convex and one side concave. The concave end can be used to create a very nice little fountain.. Along the Deschutes River, those columns are exposed very dramatically... Come on back out this way sometime and check it out! scott
