Just a short hike not far from home. I wanted to get a little something in before the week of storms.
Found an old coal mine. Look at the size of that seam! It must be entire inches thick. Big money! Why oh why was it ever abandoned?
Its collapsing. Sheets of stone are laying in piles in there.
I found a special spot in the canyon with a different type of sandstone. On the way back, I could see from a new perspective an interesting formation up and out of the main canyon.
I wish the whole place was like this. I cant explain how this sandstone exists while the stuff on both sides is very layered like from mud or something. Perhaps this was an ancient sand bar on a shore.
Its like the innards of a sandstone lump just eroded away while the shell remained. In fact thats exactly what happened, I bet.

I don't drink beer, but if I did, I'd prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends!
