Yeah, This Is Me With A Ginormous Glacial Erratic

This big beauty got dropped off near Lynnwood after hitching a ride on the Cordilleran ice sheet.  Look upon her and salivate:


Yes.  That is me, sitting on a convenient little niche in this maclargehuge boulder.  I'm 5'6", for scale.  And yes, I'm sitting comfortably.


See?  Perfectly comfy.  Of course, from certain angles...

I dare any geologist to resist doing the Vanna thing when they've got a subject like this:


I've got some very nice close-up shots of this beauty I'll share later.  The temptation to post this immediately proved overwhelming.

And everybody say thankees to my intrepid companion for doing the photographer thing so you guys could have moi for scale.

Holy cow! Reminds me of the rock in the Columbia River gorge between Washington and Oregon.
