I took Collin out to Chicken Corner to show him things I have found a long the way so if something happens to be these things don't get lost to future guests. This is a natural bridge.
This rock formation is called the Solstice Tower but before we knew it had a name we always called it Four Fingers and a Thumb.
This is the intersection of Lockhart Basin and Chicken Corner.
A Story. When I moved here 15 years ago, a previous owner told me that around Christmas somewhere a lady in her 40s or 50 would show up and ask me to escort her to her past husbands marker. Take her out there and leave her alone for half hour or so and then bring her back. She showed up over the holidays somewhere and I took her out to the marker. It was just a rock shaped like a headstone, didn't say anything on it. I took her out there, waited in silence until she came back to the vehicle, and brought her back to the lodge and I never saw or heard from her again. Bill who worked her put a lariat around it and then we left it alone.
Ten years later, maybe five or so years ago I'm driving out to Chicken Corner and the marker looks different. I park and walk over to it and it has a metal sign on it and people are leaving trinkets and the like around it. I look down and it says this. That's all I know.
Looking through The Saddle from the other direction.
Across the river at the lightning shelter at Dead Horse Point and down into the river.
Jax and I walk around Chicken Corner.
