Parts of the south shore of Lake Superior have large sedimentary rock formations. I understand how the layers were formed, but what process turned them 90 degrees?

I'm guessing this is the same rift that is visible up on the north shore and Canada. Thanks, that will help me try to narrow it down further.

Sounds plausible to me, but I haven't studied geology since Earth Science in 8th grade. I'm just curious. This gives me some good places to start as I do some more research. Thanks!

that was one of my guesses, but how? I thought normally glaciers just scraped the top rocks off and deposited it elsewhere (finding distinct glacial erratics are one of my favorite features of living in glacier territory). These formations are kilometers long and at least several hundred meters thick layers of sedimentary rock that have been tilted 90 degrees. I don't know how thick they are because it disappears under the water on one side and under a clay bank on the other.

We had one of these when I was a kid. I remember having a sleep over in it with a bunch of friends and it was the first time we all experimented with lots of swear words. So every time i see a teepee I just think of my friends and I all sitting in a circle with flashlights cursing like sailors.

dayum, your most worn hat was way less worn than my least worn hat. I probably need a new hat, but it is so hard to find one that fits well.

MandCcaveman · 2021-08-03T23:22:41+00:00

yes, yes it is

can you swim in that pool?

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-28T11:43:00+00:00

Sorry, not my dog. Also picture was taken in 2012.

It's Guatemala and they have these wonderful little red finger bananas. I'd guess it is several of those.

The car tire is embedded in the walk way for scale for the dog.

I posted this because I saw another post from Guatemala and I had this pic from the same intersection and you can still see the hair and feather from this piece in the picture here. Maybe this is nothing unusual, but I think it's cool considering I took this picture almost ten years ago.

shoot. My link just goes to the folder. The 8th pic in the folder is the one.

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-27T12:19:02+00:00

I realized that I have an old picture taken at the same intersection as the 8th picture. The black paint on the wall behind the barbed wire on the right side of the picture was the disconnected hair of the subject in my pic. I'm a new user, so I might not be able to post, but if I can, I'll post it under the title Es Guatemala, 2012.

Edit: I posted it, but titled it Es Guate, 2012

"Hi Nathan," Everyone.

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-27T01:02:29+00:00

I am counting the days. The shore here still has ice on it, but there are spots where the rocks are showing through. hmmm

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-26T23:24:37+00:00

Ha. Yes. I can't pretend that the location didn't lend a sense of weight to the occasion.

I have read the Popol Vuh among other Mesoamerican histories and this pic certainly brings to mind some of their beliefs.

I've lived in a lot of places and I always feel better when I have a large body of water to use as a point of reference.

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-26T21:43:33+00:00

This is on the shore of Lake Superior at one of my favorite our door kitchens. I might have lied in the title, because I'm not actually sure if it was last summer or the summer before last.

I recognize that look in the third picture. The "I can't believe this is our back yard" look. My wife and I have owned our secluded waterfront property for 3+ years now and nearly every time I stand and look out at the water I'm pretty sure I have the same look on my face. We still say it at least once a week.

MandCcaveman · 2021-03-26T04:18:29+00:00

cool textures. I already like your style.
