Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

The mysterious stone columns at Crowley Lake in California are a hidden gem worth exploring. These natural formations, located along Highway 395, resemble ancient temple structures with their cracked, cylindrical shapes.
Geologists have determined that the columns formed after a massive volcanic explosion around 760,000 years ago. This event created the Long Valley Caldera, where the columns now stand as remnants of that dramatic past.
Accessing the Crowley Lake columns requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle due to the challenging terrain. Despite the effort, the sight of these unique formations is a rewarding experience for adventurous visitors!

I used to fish Crowley lake back in the 80s-90s, and was unaware of these structures. All along the U.S. Route 395 through the Eastern Sierras there were fun and fascinating venues to explore.

Fact: Dead skin cells are a main ingredient in household dust​

Here’s an interesting science fact for you: According to researchers at Imperial College London, humans shed around 200 million skin cells each hour—and they have to go somewhere when we’re indoors. If the idea of skin dust isn’t sitting well with you, you should know that a report from the American Chemical Society found that a skin oil called squalene naturally helps reduce indoor ozone levels by up to 15 percent.
