Hehe, wierd dream. Not sure why you had to find out if there was water when there was a tree growing there... =)

I used to listen to Art Bell too, but that was many years ago back when he talked about H.A.R.P all time and I only listened because he was on before all the old fashioned radio shows. I liked "The Phantom", "The Lone Ranger" and "Lum and Abner" as well, but they didn't play it very often. After a few years, they stopped playing them all together and so I stopped listening.

I hear those old time shows only once in awhile - but they are GREAT. Art is on the weekends still, but it doesn't old my interest as much now, although the show is usually on in the background.

Thanks for the great photos. I think the rocks are probably just like finding images in the clouds, but you never know I guess. The closeup was amazing. The rectangular hole in the middle, with two small round holes on either side. I'm not very mechanical, but it reminds of some type of machinery I've seen. Like a turning crank/axle would go into the rectangular hole, with a couple of guide pins on either side that keep it locked in place.

And I'm not up on all my geology, but basalt will fracture in block forms, and can also have round vessicules too (old air bubbles).

I think the whole water thing they may be hoping for, but they are really stressing it to get the average Joe to be interested in the whole project. But to NASA and other scientists the basic knowledge of the minerals, etc. is cool enough.

(And in my dream, I still had to do the groundwater survey 'cuz it would be shown in public and it would be part of the "cover up" of what our government REALLY knows about Mars!! Pine trees and all! :-)"
