    I believe so. I read somewhere that they both were cinder cone volc's from Mt. Hood.
    Newberry crater is also a cinder cone.

    Actually, a few miles due west from Paulina Lake on your map is where they have been fracking for 7 years, and an eruption in that spot would likely drain both Paulina Lake and East Lake and send them down the mountainside, across the highway, and wipe out about 8,000 homes including mine.

    Pretty much exactly as St Helens did with Spirit Lake.

    Sorry to hear it.
    But. still, it is one caldera and one water source that must deliver with precision.
    When is the only question about Portland's threats.

    I came really close to buying land in the Bend area when I left Wilsonville ...the seismologist convinced me the foothills of the coastal range are the least risky place you could live in Oregon within commuting distance of an urban center.......the eastern side foothills...I'm pretty safe where I landed...and above the floodplain..there's a floodplain in almost every region of Oregon...one about 4 miles from my land. Portland is a waterfront...it will have unique problems if there's an eruption there. If anything could alter my neck of the woods it'd be a forest fire.

    Southeast of there...not that high up...my land is 700 to 1000 ft above sealevel ..above the snowline for Lane County...I almost bought the Walton store about 20 years ago...glad I didn't...place gets robbed all the time and is for sale every other year or so it seems. There are no cops around Walton. I have friends who have 20 acres just a couple miles west of there.

    You can thank Trump for not having a volcano erupt in your neck of the woods. After all, he is the chosen one.

    I saw them play live at the Gorge Amphitheatre. Easily one of my favorite groups.

    My daughter in San Diego and her husband follow Dave Mathews concerts all over the world...they just saw him perform in Vienna Austria...they were in Italy and he happened to be performing so they left and went to see him there....they probably see the Dave Mathews Band at least a dozen times a year if not more. Her living room has framed Dave Mathews Band album covers on all the walls....it's like they're Dead Heads or something....good band but man......

    Dave Matthews band brought an upbeat, optimistic peace to many of us at a time when grunge music was the thing (early to late 90s).

    I have to say Dave Matthews Band music inspired many of us attending high school with their first album, Under the Table and Dreaming. And later on with Crash.

    Each generation has their music and inspiration.

    Dave Matthews band was not my thing at all! I was a much more angsty teen than that heh. I turned to classical around 13ish and though I listened to “what everyone” listened to until about 20ish, just dont care for listening to people sing most of the time.

    I have eclectic tastes and enjoy most genres. However, I have to say Classical Music is my go-to for a relaxing environment.

    The Chinese have their own music and what they consider their classical. Very different in sound, but the same in emotion.

    A lot of musicians and artists like jazz and classical instrumental music to fuel their art.....I started with jazz and classical...I like listening to singers in languages I don't understand so that it becomes another instrument and not a dialogue....Cuban Salsa music is one of my favorites...or Brazilian Bossa Nova ballads...Italian Opera...etc

    First concert I went to when I was in 6th grade, Herman's Hermits at the glass palace. The Who opened for them (their first US tour).

    If I have a deep dark secret musically its that I liked Linkin Park quite a bit as a kid, I didnt like to let that on though. I still once in a while go for it.
