Pitkins/Rain Rocks, early photos

Those were taken in 2011, I think, when the project first started. The next one was taken about 10 years ago, just south of the current rock shed. This should be fun!

So, I’ll be interested in seeing what a good El Niño year does. Not this year, as it is “El Niño neutral” at least thru next spring according to NOAA.

  • We get some of that here, though perhaps not quite as bad. Seems we get more of the road dropping into the ocean variety. The rocks dropping onto the road are generally a bit smaller than the one pictured here... usually. ;)
