...why this big tree decide to make on side of big vertical rock slab its home..

...so total mileage for today was 124 miles...2 or 3 miles of straight, the rest corners i think...

Moabite, there must be a fault running through the rocks that allows just enough water to seep in. I cannot see any green slime but that zig-zag crack at 2 o'clock may be the source. That erosion just above, to the left and below suggests water.

...rock in place hundreds of feet thick both horizontal and vertical, not a crust layer...
...how is this for big horizontal slab? A few trees and shrubs figure out way to survive.

Nice sunset photos!

That little Falcon....those were actually great little cars. I think they had a good body style and a lot of folks don’t realize that under that sheet metal is essentially a late 60’s Mustang. Most came with a 289 V-8 and a C-4 automatic.
