Excellent!
See you there. It's Saturday at 1 at Dad'd house.
IPM/Dad's. Got it. What am I supposed to buy? lol
Johnny coming with you?
Frog, check out the link on post 2917 for those turn out sheets. My daughter works at that tack shop.
Morning
No, that's my 6' tall, 250+ lb riding buddy.

This on has me in it, squatting under that same rock, taken from a slightly different angle...
To me, your rocks are just so out of scale! It looks like you've been shrunk down and put in a big fish tank habitat.
LOL - good morning.
LOL! It does kinda look that way doesn't it. You just can't really comprehend the sheer size of that overhang from a picture. The clif that it's under is well over 100' high, and the shelter underneath it is quite deep. A whole village of people could get under there in a rain storm and not get wet. When I come up on one of these, I always wonder if it was ever used by Native Americans. It kinda revs up the imagination, ya know.
It looks like a blast to explore around in. I'd like to see that. I never imagined stuff like that in Alabama, I thought you were green hills and black dirt and I didn't picture huge rocks.
It's unlike anything here, even in the mountains. We have huge mountains made of granite, but they aren't in the form of mega boulders that look like they've been arranged in a fish tank with caverns under them! Do you know how they came to be?
She is registered at walmart and toys r us
No
Wow, I would never have guessed looking at the first picture that a person could fit in that space where you are in the 2nd picctures.
Becky
Some of them look like they were heaved out of the ground... whether it happened fast or slow, like the rocks that surface at Becky's place, only bigger. But those big rocks with the big caves under them... They look like they've been tossed there... or maybe they were once surrounded by earth but the softer dirt has been eroded away.
Anyway, I love seeing them, and you take great pictures of them.
That's what I can't get over, the complete lack of proportion. :~D
Yeah, when we're crawling around on those big rocks that are up under those shelters we always laugh and joke that we sure do hope none of those big pieces of the ceiling decides to fall off right then, coz you can look up and see the places where some of these rocks on the ground have come from. We'd get squashed like a bug on a windshield. ;o)
Well, I'd say you're in a better spot than your buddy if that happened :~D
That's why I always try to put people in my pictures. They give you some crude means of measurement. Knowing that my riding buddy is 6' tall, you can visually take his length and start laying him end to end next to some of these rocks to get a rough idea of how tall they are. It boggles the mind.
It really does. He looks like he's in my fish tank rockery that the Beta hides in. :~D
