Dr. Know: Volcanic Verisimilitude How dormant/active is Mount Tabor? Updated January 24, 2017
My dad says back in the 50s he used to play up on Mount Tabor, and on a cold day he could see steam rising from the crater. How dormant/active is Mount Tabor, and is it true Rocky Butte is actually the top of Tabor that blew off? Derek C.
I hate to break this to you, Derek, but you can t believe everything Dad says. For example, that time when you were 5, he didn t really have your nose. Also, when he told you you d go blind well, you probably figured that one out on your own.
