The reason these weird formations are here is as follows: Many years ago, some time before Trump was born, this area was underwater. A large deep lake. Some long lasting volcanic activity deposited ash 1400 feet deep in the lake. The lake drained or dried up or something and left the thick layer of dried ash. It eroded over time into what we have now. This place has been a park since the '30s. The CCC was involved in making it a park. The campground has 22 sites and only 4 of them are occupied. This place is out there, way off the beaten path. We did a long hike this morning. Jenny thought me climbing that pinnacle would make a good pic. We are here one more day.
Speechless about your climb up that pinnacle...stairs, helicopter, Harry Potter Wizardry? WHAT????Your baffled sister, Paula
