The Albuquerque Volcanoes are the source of lavas that make up the Volcano Cliffs. Judging from the high cliffs at the edge of the lava field, one might suppose that the Volcanoes are old.
But the Volcano Cliffs, as they are known locally, formed only because the Rio Grande flowed near the edges of the lava flows at one time and undercut them.
This was a ride we did during a recent Trip to "the land" about 30 miles west of Trinidad Colorado during the memorial weekend of 2007.
Silvia and I took the DR650 and went on an all day ride on the remote back dirt roads in southern Colorado.

Robert Hoath La Folette, author of The Rock That Gives Every Word Wished, claims that it is a 4,000-year-old message left by Navajo ancestors who emigrated from the Palestine-Phoenician region.
Dixie L. Perkins, author of The Meaning of the New Mexico Mystery Stone, translated it as a 2,500-year-old tale left by the Greek explorer Zakyneros. Other interpretations define it as being the location of a lost treasure buried by ancestors of the Pueblo of Acoma, a message left by one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, a prank carried out by college students in the 1930s, or perhaps even a message of extraterrestrial origins.
Whatever the case may be, the circumstances surrounding this inscription are mysterious, giving the Mystery Stone its well-deserved name.
