Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

In front of the El Diablo restaurant and Timanfaya gift shop, we were having a 10 minute break, and about to geta science lesson ;) This red earth is more like fine gravel, and the feller is taking a little from an inch or two below the surface...

He poured a few 'grains' into everyone's hand, and it was so hot you couldn't hold onto it, but had to drop it, or pass it from hand to hand.

The youngster got some in the end! :D

I put mine in the pocket of my vest, and forgot about it :D Here it is with a couple of small pebbles, and a shell, I left in my shorts pocket on the beach :D

In the second trick, a different feller poured some cold water into one of the pipes that went into the ground. It bubbled up immediately, and then on a count of three, shot into the air, as steam, cooling again before it hit the ground :cool:

And for my next trick...Feller number 3 forked some straw into one of the fissures about six feet from the surface, and it quickly burst into flames!

Not somewhere you'd want to trip in the dark! :eek:

The situation of the El Diablo restaurant is incredible, and it would have been a perfect place for lunch, but there were other plans, so there was just time for a few folks to spend a penny. There wasn't even time to visit the gift shop, but I did manage to get a couple of hasty snaps inside the restaurant, and of their unique cooking technique, using the heat from beneath the earth...

We boarded the bus again, and were off to continue our tour of Timanfaya :thumbsup:

Edit - Very sorry folks, this should have been posted in the Guardians thread! 😖
Well, I for one, am glad that you posted it in the wrong thread. I stopped following the Guardians thread a while back because I just couldn't keep up with it. But I miss seeing these pictures from folks travels with their Lambs Foots (Lambsfeet?)

Obviously no danger of any further volcanic activity there.🤞

I had a random Powrcraft stockman, but it rerandomized itself from my shirt pocket while I was doiong snow capoeira.
I hope you find your Stockman ok Jer 🙂 That's a nice little Jack 😎👍
 
Cool old knife Jer :cool: I pulled out this locking Wharncliffe by AGR :) :thumbsup:

AG did some great stuff. I have his monster two-blade serpentine trapper, and the 3" version of his take on the sodbuster, and an unassisted flipper that may be a scorpion.
That monster trapper would not be out of place in one of the drawers of Dali's Burning Giraffe.

He did mate, a nice chap too :) :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, this is only the CRKT version ;)

Pulled this wee Condor Otzi out of a random box today :) Should slay any Covid gremlins :thumbsup:

I was so inspired by (I think it was you posting the Otzi) the Condor Otzi a while back, that I bought one of my own for my office. I figured that as an archaeologist, I really needed an Otzi knife.

Note: While the hat and machete really do see a lot of use, I have yet to find an archaeological use for a whip (despite what the movies may have told you).
