Looks like something fun to check out either way. I've been meaning to
get over and explore that general area. Of course it would have to be
pretty obvious for me to notice anything :-)

By the way, I have heard a theory that there was a large strike at some
point in central Oregon causing a "hot spot" in the mantle (?) which has
since migrated through the Snake River plain in southern Idaho and now
lies beneath Yellowstone National Park resulting in all of the geothermal
activity in that area.

Thanks for sharing!
