Day 2 of dry camping and we are really having a good time. We are all alone on the mountain with great views, solitude and wildflowers. We decided on a drive up Seepage road off hwy 149 north. Short but scenic road along a lake (no water). We spotted a cave in the canyon wall and nothing must be done except drive off the road as far as possible and then climb. It wasn't too bad except for the talus at the top. I hate climbing on talus and stopped at the mouth of the cave. Gary went right on in and saw lots of evidence of mountain sheep in the cave.
The kids liked the pictures but want to know what talus is. Did I miss a lesson?
ReplyDeleteTalus is (are) an accumulation of rocks that results from the explosion of a volcano. The mountain rock is blown into pieces about the size of a frying pan (and smaller) and just absolutely covers the hillside. A pretty good example is behind us in the last picture on the July 1 blog.
