A hoodoo rises above the floor of Paton’s Hole near Leavitt Reservoir in Big Horn County Wyoming. The colorful hills in the “Hole” and around it are made up of beds of the Cretaceous Cloverly Formation. The Sykes Mountain Member or “Rusty Beds” lie at the top of the Cloverly Formation. The gray hills on the horizon are the Cretaceous Thermopolis, Mowry and Frontier Formations which are composed mostly of shale with some sandstone interbeds. Currently the reservoir has been drained and a new dam is planned. This area may be partially inundated when the lake is refilled behind the new dam.

“The doctrine of the Trinity is ultimately a teaching not about the abstract nature of God, or about God in isolation from everything other than God, but a teaching about God’s life with us and our life with each other.”

Steamship Rock is a local landmark along the Crystal Creek Road north of Greybull Wyoming. The rock, composed of Cretaceous Shales and silstones (Shell Creek and Mowry Formations), rises along Bear Creek. The white line on the face cliff is “bentonite”, clays formed by the alteration of volcanic ash that is deposited in a water body.

Thanks for any likes or comments. I appreciate your support.
Peace.
I wish now that I had taken this old box that was lying in the grass at the end of Mowry Avenue in Fremont, California.
I think I could find a good use for a well made box, maybe even restore it. I could at least store a bunch of my driftwood in it. Think I'll take a run back out there and grab it.

A washout on the road leading to Sheep Mountain requires a bumpy detour at Lovell Draw north of Greybull, Wyoming. This is a view looking back toward Greybull.

Earlier I posted a photo of this train with the milepost marker in view. I got comments to remove it and with the latest Adobe tools that is very easy. But the question is; how much should we alter the reality?
I had to kill some time while waiting for a business dinner in Fremont and decided to go track side in Newark (Mowry Ave) and see what is possible after sunset.
Newark, CA - 2025-12-11
Former White Front Discount Department Store and Safeway Supermarket located at 5789 Mowry Ave. in Newark,CA. The White Front and Safeway were located next to each other however they each had separate entrance and exit doors. In 1975 the building became occupied by The Treasury Discount Department Store and Supermarket. By the late 1980's The Treasury was closed and the building became sub-divided. Once the building was divided the tenants were Circuit City, Rasputin Music, KidsRus, 98c Clearance Center, and a Home Furnishings Store. All but the Rasputin Music store and the 98c Clearance Center turned Dollar Tree have closed. It is quite likely that this entire site will be heavily renovated in the months to come.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2009: Rasputin closed its doors along with a newly built Mervyns Department Store. The Mervyns Department Store was not even one week old before it was closed along with the entire Mervyns chain. The only tenant operating in the shopping center is Dollar Tree.

MANTA RAY-CLASS GUNSHIP | SOLACIUM
When Guardian forces decided to procure an independently produced warship to use on a reconnaissance mission, an Arckanian-built gunship was the logical choice. The Manta Ray line was fast, configurable and very sturdy. Through third parties, a secret purchase was brokered.
The gunship, Solacium, was enhanced with Hexan technology and put under the command of Abathar and a detachment of his officers. For months, Abathar and his crew patrolled nearby star clusters, investigating disturbances and holding clandestine meetings with alien powers. Changes to the Solacium's configuration and equipment were frequent during this period.
Solacium was thought lost at the Battle of Arkite after it sustained severe damage and system failures. It has been more recently discovered that its captain and pilot were able to deliberately crash-land the wounded gunship just outside Ignis. Solacium passed, unappreciated, through the hands of several salvage yard owners before being purchased for a song by an upstart shipping company. Negotiations are underway to return this culturally significant ship to Arkite for preservation.
Excerpt from www.gravenhurst.ca/en/explore-and-play/heritage-walking-t...:
Mowry Residence: This two storey Victorian red brick residence dates to circa 1886. Bradley Roe Mowry was the original owner and built the house on the lot which was once the property of Dugald Brown. Mowry also owned the iron foundry, which was the source of the Great Fire of 1887. It wiped out a total of 83 buildings, devastating the heart of Gravenhurst. In 1908 the house was owned by the Link sisters, Annie and Greta. The home subsequently was acquired by the East's who also owned Muskoka Sands, which later became Taboo Resort. In the early 2000's, the house was restored by the Lorenz family and then purchased by current owners Fred and Susan Westover who operate it as a Bed and Breakfast. They added an imposing portico in 2012. It was placed on the Gravenhurst Municipal Register with in 2012. It received a Muskoka Heritage Foundation built heritage plaque in 2002.
This limestone, from a small lens in the Lower Cretaceous Thermopolis Shale near Rainbow Canyon east of Kane Wyoming, displays a unique sedimentary structure called cone-in-cone (cic). As the name implies, the rock is made up of cone shaped forms that nest inside a cone cup. The cone shapes are visible in this photo. Researchers agree that these structures often form from the growth of calcareous fibers, in this case, calcite. The cic structures have also been found in gypsum, pyrite, and even coal. The pictured sample measures 5 cm x 2.5 cm and was found in a lens that consisted of cone-in-cone structured limestone that was a maximum of about 3 cm thick.
Cic structures are common in the Cretaceous shales of the Bighorn Basin: The Thermopolis Shale, the Mowry Shale, and The Frontier Formation. Rockhounds often confuse the structures with fossils such as petrified wood, horn corals, or some other marine organism. Cic structures are mostly inorganic in nature but how they form has been debated by geologists for many years. Part of the problem is that no one has been able to find them forming in a modern environment so no modern analogs are known. Some of the debate devolves to whether the growth of the calcareous fibers comes before or after the rock has some rigidity. Some think that the concretions form while the sediments are still pliable and the fibers are able to grow uninhibited, other researchers believe the fibers grow after a concretion has already been formed and the fibers fracture the concretion into the structures that are preserved. Geochemical research indicates that cic structures form in deeper water below the sulfate-reduction zone. The shales in the Bighorn Basin that contain the cic structures are famous for deposits of bentonite. Ewing & Ailes (2019) documented samples and analogs of cone-in-cone beds that formed adjacent or near to bentonite beds. Their geochemical findings supports "seafloor or near subsurface reduction of sulfate via bacterial mat biology which then displacively forms crystalline carbonates from solutes derived from the volcanic ash".

Former Gemco Discount Store located at 5000 Mowry Ave. in Fremont,CA. After Gemco closed Target took over the building which suprisingly closed this location and it was bought back by Lucky Stores. (Lucky owned the Gemco and Memco stores along with Kragen Auto Parts, Yellow Front, Yardage Fair, and for a short time Happy Steak Restaurants). Lucky renovated the store interior which when completed has more than twenty-five aisles. It became an Albertsons in 1999 and has since become a Lucky again per the Save Mart takeover.

Project 365, 2022 Edition: Day 251/365
This is detail of a shawl I knit in 2019. The pattern is Nightshift by Andrea Mowry. I'm wearing the shawl in this photo: flic.kr/p/2mZvgmA
I need to photograph the whole shawl properly, but this was my inspiration for the daily Project 365 photo.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
I was burning the midnight oil on this years SHIPtember, but here you have my latest. The White Whale as the Arkcanians have Nicknamed these Battleship/ Carrier vessels. Armed with six Hull Buster Cannons located on the side wings, six Gun Batteries, One Forward mounted Hull Crusher Accelerator Cannon and lastly One Aft mounted ION cannon. The White Whale Battleships were also fitted with large hanger bays for large amounts of fighters and could hold at least one small cruiser in the forward hanger bay. White Whales were not the fastest of the Arkcanian Fleet but any commander who decided upon bringing one along was sure grateful to have alongside his fleet. Fun Fact: Abathar's Gunship The Solacium docked inside a White Whale once or twice for Refueling and Supplies.
Hope you guys enjoyed!
Not content with having a summer cotton/silk top and a cowl on the go, I decided to take on Andrea Mowry's Ravelry challenge, a Knitalong (KAL) to do a hat in five days. This is mine at the end of day one.

I finished my hat for the KAL (knitalong) in three days! I did spend a lot of time each day knitting. Yesterday was a solid five hours.
Mowry East Shopping Center located 39199 Farwell Dr. in Fremont,CA. This shopping center was anchored by a Cost Plus store but it closed late last year. The major tenant in this 1970's center is the Cinedome Theater.

It sported two Ion Cannons fixed on its bow and two twin-barreled heavy Mass Driver turrets, making it able to direct firepower anywhere in its forward arc. The turrets could track targets from large corvettes and up, but were never considered a viable anti-strike craft weapon. Instead, the destroyer excelled as a frigate killer. Its speed and maneuverability allowed it to keep up with the smaller warships in combat maneuvers, and once it was able to bring its ion cannons to bear, it could inflict heavy damage on any craft.
Special Thanks to Aaron Fiskum for organizing the designers for these commissioned builds.
This butte can be seen from the parking area at Devils Kitchen. These hills are composed of Cretaceous sands and shales, The grayish white rocks at the base of the hill is the Muddy Sandstone. The blackish gray beds above the white beds are the Shell Creek Shale which is included in the Mowry by some geologists. The terraced gray shales above the black shale up to the smooth slope is the Mowry Shale. The smooth slope all the way to the top of the cliff is the Frontier Formation. The gray slope-former at the top of the Hill is the Cody Formation. I have always been impressed by how many shades of gray can be seen in this one hillside.
