Rock formations

 From my years of  teaching rock formations for Science Olympiad
I knew sedimentary rocks formed near a water source.
However, I had no idea that water actually could seep through rock
and in winter become frozen water falls.

 Karl was particularly intrigued with this solution to keep rocks from falling into roadways.
Prop up the rocks with a steel pole!


 Rita and Nikki took me on a hike up Cedar Bluff outlook.
It was great to see the overview of the land...and how the roads and railroad would wind along the path of the Clinch River.  I certainly should have done this in summer...
but then...possibly we could not see the roadways.
