Throwback Thursday: Local Mystery, v.2.0
This was first published December 13, 2014. OK, all you internet gurus… I have a search for you! On our little geology trip the other day, our neighbor showed us this. I know you can’t see it well here, but this gives you a perspective. Halfway up the steep slope, under a little overhang… A…
