| When we took a trip to Centralia in the spring of 1999
this hill side is where most of the visible smoke and steam was coming from. |

We took a closer look.

Walking carefully we took a look around.

Another of the many
venting cracks in the ground.

Cut wires that once fed electricity to rows of homes.
Less that 15 years ago there were homes on these

An old shack.
Notice the few remaining row homes in the background.

These venting gases around these rocks were so super
heated
that at some point they had caught the fallen trees on fire.
Here is another shot of a venting hole around which
rocks were too warm to touch.
