Does anyone have any idea what may be hidden here under these Black Circles???????
From the little sections that are visable in between them, it looks like a junkyard to me.
Between this placemark and Area 51 to the south, I also noticed some patches of Green Circles in various places.

Vegetables maybe?

Those are agricultural fields. The circles are formed by the rotating sprinklers.

Actually I am more interested in the "old Volcano" to the west. Great view from 50 miles up. You see the old lava flows and water run off.

Cool but couldn't that flow be water as there is blue patches in it.

By the way I am not too good at judging volcanoes.

Another of my hobbies. I have lived in earthquake prone California fo 40 years. Lived through a lot of heavy shakers. Since internet I have been researching cause and effect with both earthquakes and volcanos. They are related more than most people know. Also look for rain after a vocano eruption (follow the jet stream) After the eruption of the Vocano PINATUBO, Philippines it takes two weeks for the ash to carry to California then RAIN. Great weather predictor.

Here are a couple good volcano locations that I've been to. One is near flagstaff Arizona, other is near Mono Lake California. Highway 395 is a great road for volcano hunting. The highway goes right through lava flows and there are lots of places to pull off the road and walk around in them. There is a small ice cave created from a lava tube at one of the parks near Flagstaff that you can crawl through. Even in middle of summer, has ice in it.

Thanks, We have been in the ice cave. My wife and I spend our summers riding through the sieras. (Mamouth Lakes area) Seen most everything. Obsidian flats north of Mamouth is a good visit also.
