Palatki Ruins, February 6, 2007

For the geologists among you! This is an excellent example of the strange rock composition. See how the rock has naturally fallen out of this corner?? If you wanted to, you couldn't make the break so clean! While the red rock gets black streaks in it from the manganese, this is at the fire pit, and the black is from ancient smoke, the red has grafitti on it from the 1800's, but the Ranger's aren't too upset about it since the author was a local legendary cowboy.
