Repurposed concrete adobe brick, Leasburg Dam State Park, Radium Springs NM, January 25, 2009
So that's what that is...
Some time ago I noticed this unusual "rock" delineating a trail in the park. This concrete-in-a-bag "rock." And wondered what it could have been made for. When a neighbor pointed out a damaged spot in one of the campsite shelters where a careless Rv bumped it I had one of those Aha! moments - it's a fake adobe brick - used to build a fake adobe shelter, plastered with fake adobe plaster. Of course.

An Apache Defilade in the Florida Mountains
Today, I'm searching for a place in the Floridas I'd found two years ago. It wasn't much, but I'd seen it a week earlier, and wanted to check it out again. I feel at peace here, in these rugged mountains, as if I'd always been here.
