On the rollabout, I've added the routine of stopping at the View Sites, Historical Sites, and such...and thereabout are the Pedestal Signs telling a Story...at the one overlooking Lake Crowley (famous for fishing), the White Mountains in the Far Distance, was one Sign telling the Story of a Giant Volcano...I mean giant!!....but a longlong time ago...though, in talk with geologist friend, geologists take a keen interest in the East Side, and the whole Basin and Range...it's kinda there Happy Place....anyway, all along 395 there are Jeffery Pines growing on stumpy crenelated Red Rock Bluffs....'Oh, yes, they stretch from Bridgeport to the Owens Valley. When the Volcano erupted, molten material lofted into the sky, and fell back to solidify into those bluffs." ....See pic of sign...... "Mt. Tom is a bit of a curio?"..."Yes.".....no pics today...sighted Mama Doe and Two Fawns on way to work...along with gaggle of tourists!
