June+28+-+Marble

Wow! What an adventure. Sure is a long way from anywhere to anywhere else. Of course, straight line is short. Crested Butte to Marble up the Canyon is easy peasy - well, shorter anyway. But, to get there by car is another matter. The reward at the end was ice cream. Espresso...mint...chocolate...butter brickle....Too bad the Marble mine access was closed to the public. up and over...past dikes and intrusions, around to ancient depositions and cross bedding of the Pennsylvanian Maroon Formation. And, next to it was the modern day example of a river bed with the rounded rocks of today's rocks.

Nice to be back in the Marble-Snowmass-Maroon Bells area.

A Limerick to John:

A geology professor named Dunkhase Led his students on a hairy rock chase. With Bowen's Reaction Series We pondered deeper earth inquiries Moving from basalt to orthoclase.
