April 28, 2017 Gold Butte, Nevada

Today we drove to Little Finland to view the fins.
The historic Mud Wash Corral. It is made mostly of railroad ties. Broomrape- a parasitic plant, white cone flowers and purple flowers.

We climbed up a steep ramp on the side of the cliff to get to shelf Little Finland is on.  The rock shapes were unbelievable.  Fins, hoo doos, mushrooms you name it. We wondered around for a few hours  in this wonderland.  Large dune looking rocks, covered with salt deposits.

Lines , shapes and salt in the rocks. Mushroomy cliffy  formations.

Pot holes, sharp cliffs.


John wandering into a canyon. John through a small arch, looking sweet, thoughtful and crazy!
Me throught the other side looking happy. One of many larger arches.

Sharp twisted rocks, and John by a big mushroom.

Pointy things and more mushrooms.

Cute little shapes. Here we are coming down the steep ramp. Notice the palm tree a the bottom. There were springs and seeps all along the base of the cliff. 

Spring at the base of the cliff filled with greenery and flowers.  Cracked mud, lines. The rock was very sharp, didn’t want to fall on it. Desert willow blossom in the wash on the way out.
A small rain squall that blew through.
