Matt, well done. This was worth the wait. Its actually making miss the days I lived in Central Oregon and would spend time exploring the lava fields south of Deschutes River Woods. I have seen so many of those twisted trees and never knew anything about them. Figured they were just burnt trees.

Thank you, I spent many an hour when I was as growing up exploring this area. You might be interested in knowing that Newberry is infilling with magma as I write this. This is proven by current seismographs.

Thanks. It is a good place to explore. I do mention the magma chamber mapped by University of Oregon at the Paulina Lake section.

@@MattCookOregon I heard that part, but I got the impression that you thought volcanic activity was off in the future. I just wanted you to know there has been a huge uptick in activity right now. As demonstrated by current seismographs. In fact all of the Cascades have been waking up for the last 18 months. I have seen pictures of Rainer and Hood emitting steam. To me this is fascinating. I have mentioned this to you because you were so thorough in your video. Thanks again, it was a great walk down memory lane.

Is the landscape feature just east of Chemult a caldera?

I've looked at that thing so many times. Pretty sure it's just shadows, hills, logging. Think it's worth a video?

@@MattCookOregon No. I think it is the real deal. A possible site of an old supervolcano. It also looks like it is within a much larger even older supervolcano. Smith Rock to the north has been determined to be one of the edges of an old supervolcano. Where there is one confirmed there are likely more. Now it is time to do on the ground investigation. I know there are plenty of rhyolites on those areas. Wouldn't it be most exciting if they are chemically tied to the Yellowstone hot spot?
