Picture of ryolite formation.

The chalky blocky formation is the ryolite. Unfortunatly the owners would not answer the doorbell, so I was unable to go through the formation in thier yard.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Some of it was very nice and some of it was leaverite. You just had to knock a piece off and see. The one thing I noticed was that you could hit on a piece and if it rang it was most likely a good one . If it didn't ring it was always bad.
