The Race

As Tom splits off from the group he's in a race against the coming darkness to get down Jackson Ladder. Reaching the side by side darkness has just arrived.

Incredible day and finds. Is you adrenalin still pumping?

Tom said...

Yes it is. I took them over to the half bowl area and the other place where I found pottery shards but didn't have time to examine it before dark and we found more incredible stuff but I was so focused on looking for stuff I didn't take any pictures. I planned to head back this morning (Sunday) and a pretty good rain came up. I've got a whole in the roof above the office so I had to move trash cans around to deal with that until it dries up a little and I can get to town and get something to patch it.

I agree Cyn..An amazing life Tom leads. Puts my every day existence to shame. Jealous that you have seen the wonder of the area.

All of us are wanting to return! Hope you can make a trip there Carol. I cannot go all the places Tom goes, but I can go to some, and the views from the porches and truck or jeep are grand too.
Tom, is the area in pic 2 a dry river bed or scoured valley?

Cyn I plan to do just that. I am in love with the area already and all of Tom's entourage. So much to explore and contemplate. I hope to bring a grandkid or two along for the fun.

Carol, wonderful idea.

Looking down into Jackson Hole from Jackson Ladder. Jackson Hole was at one time a meander in the river. There is petrified wood back there that likely floated down and got beached and lots of gravel and smooth rocks.
