Bill, Thank you for posting this! It's a great read even for someone who has spent their entire life in the pacific northwest. It explains so much.

 

[El and Bill]

Larry - Great. So glad you enjoyed it.

Nice job, Bill. They do have a complex geology. It is the sandstone ledges that give me the willies, appearing where I don't expect a rock.

I really enjoyed both your narrative and the pictures. Now I understand some of the things I have seen in my travels. Thanks.
