Casparis Crater

... was watchin' the latest film version of H.G. Wells 'War of the Worlds' on TV recently...

... this time around the storyline is that the Martians had been sent to earth eons ago and since then had existed in a dormant state underground, eventually emerging en-masse in their giant death beam Tripods with intent to capture the earth and all it's resources - including us!!...

... sort of like 17 year 'Periodical Cicadas' - but with a lot more carnage (unless ya' have some fun and toss one on a girly girl - or guy - then ya'd think there's not much difference)... by the way... they're due to return next  Spring (2016) - great bait for 'Bass' fishing...

... reminded us of a place we hadn't thought of in "many moons"...

... the "Casparis Crater"... 

... tale is that long ago a 'UFO' crash landed at this location - the force of the impact burying it deep beneath the earth - the overlying ground caved in over it, leaving only this large surface impact crater and pond - the pond is fed from underground and always holds clear, fresh water...

... and where it remains to this day... checked it out recently, hadn't been here in years - looks like someone (or something) has created a foot path into (and out of) the crater since we been here last...??...

... back in the day it was a great excuse to take girls after dark to "check out the UFO crash site"... pretty eerie place during a crisp, late fall evening with full moonlight reflecting off the pond and moonbeams casting long shadows throughout the open forest... was always way too much fun to dispute this tale - the gals eventually always wanted to "hang pretty tight"...

... anyway, considering his many predictions to date, who's to say HG's vision of the future is not as as far fetched as we think...

... additionally... who knows where these guys are originally from?...
