1. Using the surrounding landscape contours and the fact that the columnar joints form perpendicular to the flow of lava, guestimate what general direction the lava was flowing.
From the lines of the hill, I would guess that the lava flowed SSW and the leading edge is what is now exposed. The comment in the description about the columns being perpendicular to the flow leads me to think that the flow may have been WNW. I think I will stick with SSW. I would be interested in additional information on that.
I did look up Devils Tower. Very interesting site. Thank you for the Earth cache.
ALSO,
2. Post at least one picture of the columns and your GPS.
3. Indicate in your log the number of people in your group.

That was an awsome adventure. And to get "Above & Beyond" Platinum was an awsome feat.
