Looks as though My Little Pony

is swimming in a swamp.

Love my sis.

Brave one to retrieve my camera that

went tumbling down the side of the hill.

I was ready to write it off!

"The Resolution Trail, a multi-use, single track trail that winds through Corte Madera Canyon, was named for and dedicated to those who lost their lives on the ill-fated DC-6 airplane that crashed here in October 1953. The trail starts below the Vista Point, a knoll off of the Fir Trail that served as the base of rescuer operations following the crash. Please respect this historical site by leaving any artifacts where you find them." (source)

Good thing for the sign above.

We did not even see this giant

rock right in front of us!

Either Laura is engaged in conversation with

the rock or she is about to be eaten by it.

Tafoni sandstone.
