Trip Report
back atcha dingy ... my first TR - tribute that is

should DMT happen to swing by ...
have him follow the trodden path, it's wide enough for two
when it fades, things get weird
wacky
and western slopey
edit: (a little weak, that part ... agreed)
then surprisingly, in short form at least ... wall aah!
there's a walkin' way down
and a place to sit and consider the well placed sandal
it's zoned rodent residential
family friendly
got low overhead
a chance to step up
or step in
over
or perchance out
with occasional block parties
some are rock and roll ready
others strong and steady
munch in the shadow of mature landscaping
or in the nicely appointed corner niche
active tagger pre-emption crew
tri-cam parking
a dual freakin' letterbox
there's even one of these!
by golly send up a smoke signal, i'm all in
stop by the midden owner's association, ask about cc&r's. they might be tight that way
once more over the shoulder, a nod in the general direction of milktoast
cheers! eh?

The commute is a bit long but the scenery's grand.I wondered where you'd gone when I woke up from my nap in the car.
Nice shoot, hooblie.
We learn from observing the master traveler, eh?

And you could cantilever out the back, if there does not seem to be enough room.

Hooblissimo!
You're doing good work here, and we're taking to it like kittens to a plate of milk.
Delicious!
Would it spoil the vibe to ask: where that be?

Great photos, nice scenery, wonderful captions. Iz cool if you don't wanna say where it is, but could you allude to the volcanic center these effusive rocks came from??? Looks basaltic to me.

The cliffs are reminiscent of The Grotto. But they are inland a very long ways and nearly a mile higher, Tarbuster. This is juniper-pinyon forest and where does that happen? Not in California.

New Mexico! Heck, could even be outside of Paonia, Colorado. But N Danger probably would have said so, were it the latter ...
(Thanks for the nudge, mouse)
[edit]
And I've seen rock like this in Northern Arizona.
Looks like I'll be thrashing around in the brush for quite a while before I run into Hooblie.

the whole sweep of that day's traverse. the peak in the distance is bill williams mtn. pr/dice forks is an analog but this drains the other way.
i didn't knock on heisenberg's door so the hounds were not released.
any footprints i failed to prevent are the only ones there.
here's the prime cuts so far. the images will continue to trickle in for quite a while i hope,
as long as my sneaky skills abide. i did say weird right?
but western slope referred to local terrain.
one approach would be off BNSF right of way, through USNF
but that won't get you all the way there.

New Mexico, yep, that looks right. Thanks Tar, Mouse. There are certainly places that look very much like this up on the Taos Plateau, Rio Grande flood basalts, or welded latite from the Jemez caldera.

Bill Williams Mtn, AZ, got it. If you see Heisenberg's cat does that mean this place exists or doesn't exist???

I'm naming this cliff Lizaard's Leap. It's virgin, but nowhere near the Virgin.
Another outcropping of the same igneous material.
There. I've used the most technical geologic term I know!
