Mt Princeton

[tamrock]

These are a couple angles of Mt Princeton in the upper Arkansas valley. The first is coming down over Trout Creek pass and the second is coming up the Arkansas valley as I was heading home today. The other two pic's are a place I now call the "Stick Stop". Found an interesting rock at that location. I need to find out what it is. The geology lab at the mine I go to is right next to were I do my work when I'm there, so I'll have the geologist have a look at it. I have a hunch it may set off a slight reading on a geiger counter. It looks volcanic, intrusive in nature. Maybe Rhyolite? and seems heavy for it's size.

Tamrock, you can imagine my dismay when the Longfellow Elementary school here was demolished last fall, along with the former grass playground dug up, and I didn't see a single MD'er out there beforehand...
BTW, that's a USGS Survey Marker next to that little tree in your photo, isn't it?

I'm not familiar with this school you mentioned. Indeed that is a USGS marker. Looks like it's going to wash away someday.

Yeah I figured that out. Amazing, as Will Rogers was my hero when I was growin up. A lot of what he said is still relevant today. I will have to think a while to top that.

I've had it for sometime now. I picked it up on the road someplace along the way. The man definitely has a lot of places named in his honor. He was no doubt a well loved American.

Yeah the airport in OKC is named after him. We always got a laugh out of that since he did die in a plane crash.

He did come along in those times of the great depression. My Mother who is 92 and lived those times said he sure put a smile on the faces of many folks going through the tough times back then. It's no wonder they of that generation loved him so, a good laugh can do a lot, no matter what your going through.
