    Default Ash Layer

    I thought some of you might find this interesting. The white band with holes in the photos below is the ash layer that was laid down during the last eruption of Yellowstone. Lot's of ash!

    Well, it certainly looks like Yellowstone made an ash out of itself!
    True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.
