PERSONAL FUN FACT: Rock Cloe is one of those dolls that always makes me emotional. She was one of my very last Christmas presents from Dad, in 2011. Prior to the night that Dad purchased her for me, I had never really considered getting any dolls from the Rock line. They were easily overlooked compared to some of the more "tempting" lines like the Masquerade gals. Anyways, the story behind this Cloe is one of the most notorious ones in my doll collecting history. This was the very first year I had started collecting dolls again after a five year hiatus. It took me some time to get used to the way the dolls had changed after such a long break. I also had lost some of my identity as a collector, and therefore was very prone to listening to other collector's opinions, rather than forming my own. Of course, I found myself in the trap of thinking that the new dolls "weren't good enough." But that inner kid in me honestly was drawn to them. One of the first Bratz lines that really caught my eye was the 2010 Party collection. It all started with me finding Yasmin on clearance at Wal-Mart, and later Jade and Sasha on sale at Toys 'R' Us. One afternoon, a few days before Christmas, I casually mentioned to Dad that I was missing Party Cloe. We were on our way to do grocery shopping when this topic was brought up. Dad immediately said that the groceries could wait, and off we went on the quest to find Party Cloe. Long story short, after many hours and countless stores (and even eBay searches), Party Cloe could not be located. Dad did not want me to go home empty handed that night, so he bought me not one, but seven Bratz dolls. He did always know how to do overkill! I first got the set of Wild Wild West dolls at one store. But then on our last two stops of the evening, I spotted this lone Rock Cloe at a Wal-Mart. For the first time, I found myself intrigued by her teal highlighted hair and her rad outfit. Dad said he would get me Cloe too, and after stopping at Toys 'R' Us before heading home, he let me complete the line. I want to preface this by saying that we were very broke at the time, so it meant all that much more to me that Dad splurged on so many Bratz dolls for me, to ensure that I was happy that Christmas. There was a brief time that I felt disenchanted by the dolls. This was when I was heavily scrutinizing all my dollies and focusing on their "flaws." Since Cloe had such gross nylon hair and wasn't the same quality as the Bratz I grew up with, at some point I dismissed her. But after Dad's passing, I realized how ungrateful I had behaved, and I decided that from then on, I was going to love and appreciate my dolls to the fullest. It did take sometime for this mentality to feel natural, but now I see no flaws when I look at this Cloe. I love everything about her, even that nylon hair. She was the first doll I ever attempted to flat iron (besides some nappy haired American Girls). It took me quite a few treatments to finally get it perfect, but now her hair feels almost as wonderful as saran. Even if I had not managed to sort out her locks, Cloe would always be a treasured possession of mine. She will forever be a reminder of that last Christmas with Dad, his generosity, and the way I felt rediscovering my passion for dolls that year!

As you descend Mt Daniel you head directly toward Cathedral Rock that sits high above Peggy's Pond. One of my favorite scenes in the Alpine Lakes.

The United States Congress designated the Table Rock Wilderness in 1984 and it now has a total of 5,781 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
A remnant of a lava flow that once covered this region along the western foothills of the Cascades, the "fortress" of Table Rock stands at 4,881 feet above the northeastern portion of this small Wilderness. On this steep and rugged terrain you'll find a quiet forest of Douglas fir and western hemlock, with noble fir at higher elevations and crowds of rhododendron on many of the upper slopes, an island of old growth in an ocean of forest development. At least two endangered plants bloom here: Oregon sullivantia and Gorman's aster. Deer and elk wander about in winter, and the northern spotted owl has been spotted among the old trees.
From four trailheads, about 17 miles of trails give access to the Wilderness. A relatively easy hike from Table Rock Road will take you up the Table Rock Trail to the sweeping vista from the summit of Table Rock, where the land falls suddenly away in basalt cliffs on the north face. From this high point, Mount Rainier looms far to the north, Bull of the Woods Wilderness beckons from the east, and the Willamette Valley spreads out to the south.
You will not find any reliable sources of potable water on the trails, so pack along your own. Horses may find dangerous footing on some of the talus slopes.
Additional information about the Table Rock Wilderness, and all the other BLM Wilderness areas in Oregon/Washington, is available online at:

Rocks, they've been around a lot longer that we have, and they'll be here long after we're gone. On that cheery note...Happy New Year!
Bizarre rock spires, looking a bit like mushrooms. They were sticking their heads out from deep within a steep sided canyon in the aptly named Canyonlands National Park.

Enchanted Rock is a massive pink granite dome rising 425 feet above Central Texas and covers approximately 640 acres. It has drawn people for thousands of years. But there’s more to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area than just the dome. It is a magical place to photograph, hike, and explore. Enchanted Rock opened as a state natural area in October 1978. More than 250,000 people trek to the park each year to experience the magic of Enchanted Rock. In fact, it is one of the most visited parks in the state. Enchanted Rock has long been the center of various legends. Folklore of local Tonkawa, Apache and Comanche tribes ascribes magical and spiritual powers to the rock (hence the name Enchanted Rock). A once-mysterious trait that lends itself to the legends of the "enchanted" nature of the park is when temperatures fluctuate, particularly in the evening, the rock can be heard groaning and creaking. We now know that these sounds are caused by the granite contracting and expanding. Another tale relates an episode of Capt. John Coffee Hays. He was cut off by Comanche raiders from his company of Texas Rangers in 1841. Hays took refuge on Enchanted Rock and singlehandedly held off the Indians in a three-hour battle that ended when the frustrated Indians fled, convinced even more than before that Enchanted Rock was possessed by spirits.
