DC Three - Eclogite

June 22, 2015


Tennessee, Woodsmoke RV Park.   We are here for Aaron's geology fix!  He is in search of some rare Eclogite located about 45 minutes (or 20 miles up a switch-back mountain road) in North Carolina.












Aaron looking for the mystical Eclogite

Under the surface layer should be some good samples.  Where's the rock hammer?

Wait?!?  IS THAT POISON IVY????

NO!  Just Kidding Aaron!  Keep looking for your Eclogite





Just Waiting!!!




And here is the mystical Eclogite up close!

 







And they are off....in search of more rocks and maybe a
salamander or two




Meanwhile, those that know me well, know they can find me anywhere near water
No matter how big or small






























Beavers












Butterflies mud-puddling for liquid nutrients



















Tree roots growing under the sidewalk- life finds a way even flora!

  1. Travelling is always fun, especially seeing new places. There is always a surprise, enjoying nature and the diversity of plants. That's interesting.
