From the Alps to the seashore

Friday I did 7 geocaches (now 998) from the “Texas Alps”, near Alpine, to Sanderson Canyon where the mountains are an ancient seashore. In the Alps the mountains are lava formed and tilted on edge by shifting of the Tectonic plates. Sanderson Canyon, in contrast, is the bottom of a sea with many horizontal layers of sediment turned to rock. I saw what looked like a set of fossilized antlers coming out of the rock on one of my cache quests. I feel very enriched by the experiences that I have had while geocaching.

Saturday I am moving towards Del Rio. Since I am a day ahead of the tour, I probably won’t get there until Sunday. Hopefully Dave Tole will catch up to us in Kerrville next week.
