Chimney vs Camel

I’ve shown you Chimney rock earlier on in my cabin posts, right? It’s that strange rock formation that you can’t miss driving to the cabin. It has a large ranch named after it, and all those strange looking rock formations I showed you are all on the ranch.

Seen from the normal angle of the road that goes past it, Chimney Rock does look like a tall chimney and it’s pretty easy to see how it got its name.




But ... it is also known by the name of Camel Rock to some people. Those people look at this landmark from a different angle and they see a camel.



Funny looking, huh? Do you see a camel? I used to think it looked more like a turtle with a big shell.

And here is another view of that old homestead as seen from “Camel” Rock. The homestead is dwarfed by the cliffs behind it.




On another note, my camera is acting up. My new camera. All the photos you see above have been doctored to edit out an annoying UFO blip that just started showing up. Take a look:




It appears to be on the sensor and there is no way to clean it. Sigh. I have no idea where it came from! So, when we get back I will take my camera back in to Best Buy and just have them give me a new one instead of repairing this one under warranty. It’s very frustrating!

I hope to post at least once more today and maybe twice, so stay tuned!
