The Cats ... Continued
A Day Of Adventure
I said to little Sosh, “I’ll follow by your side.” They were amazed at the enormity of the moose meadow with the small stream meandering through it first here and then there. “We don't want to get too far out of site,” the ponies said, in unison. We were delighted to be in their presence.
As we headed North the Red Sandstone Cliffs rose layer by layer out of the mountainside, pushed up millions of years ago from beneath the surface of the earth.
We thought it would be an adventure to see the formations up close and search for fossils.
As we gradually climbed walking upon a layer of sandstone cliff, a deep narrow ravine appeared. As we neared we saw three great crevasses in the earth. “Gosh, the slashes drop four or five feet. Look, there’s another set just beyond that ridge.” Sure enough another set of deep claw marks in the earth. “Each set of depressions in the rock are at least three feet in length, and each set has a great talon slash at the end of that triangular shape in the center,” Shadow saw this well from above on Scout’s back. We walked on the ridge of ground left between the great imprints. “This is fascinating, what a find!” Scout said.
We stepped down into the fossilized print at the most shallow point of the single talon and walked towards the point of the long outstretched appendage. We were in awe of the varying densities of rock layers that were exposed in the depression.
