No. 53
Crack-in-the-Ground is a 2-mile volcanic fissure located in Christmas Valley, OR. It was formed by tectonic activity and lava flow. The rift (“crack”) is up to 70’ deep, and the climate is typically 20° cooler — which is refreshing when it’s already 90° out.
I was pretty cold and tired. This bar was “closed” although there were still people inside hanging out and drinking. I walked in the bar hoping to buy a rain jacket to stay warm and dry but they didn’t sell any merch. Instead, the bartender gave me his personal hunting sweater.
A double-shot of Makers Mark later, and I was back on the bike, and down the road.
