Among those people was a pair of twin young ladies lamenting that they wish they'd arrived earlier, due to thinking it was too HOT at that point in time. I told them I was not HOT and suggested that they might be cooler if they copied me and also went topless. They said they would consider my suggestion.
Barely 70 degrees is not too HOT at this location on the planet.
A pair of guys said they were feeling sort of lost. I told them not to worry, they'd find their way back to civilization.
And then there was the mom and dad and young daughter combo I came upon in the main Tandy Hills Hoodoo zone.
The mom and daughter of the trio was having fun constructing the new Hoodoo you see above in the foreground.
That is the latest iteration of the original Tandy Hills Hoodoo you see behind the new Hoodoo, at the end of the trail at the crest of the hill.
Continuing on, on one of the trails which heads uphill from the Tandy Bamboo Tepee Grove, another new Hoodoo has sprouted. That would be the other new Hoodoo below.
I wonder how many Hoodoos now stand on the Tandy Hills? I suspect I have not discovered all of them.
Changing the subject from a potential rock slide to an actual rock slide.
I heard from Washingtonian Betty Jo Bouvier this morning. Betty Jo is one of the Wild Women Of Woolley, which indicates Betty Jo lives in the Skagit Valley in the town of Sedro Woolley. Sedro Woolley is close to the town I grew up in, Burlington, and close to the town I lived in before I moved to Texas, Mount Vernon, which also makes Sedro Woolley close to the Oso Landslide disaster.
Betty Jo mentioned the Oso Landslide disaster in a way both personal and interesting. I will copy, in part, what Betty Jo had to say.......
"I am sure you read about the huge slide in Oso. That is beyond horrible. Did you happen to read about the little girl spear heading a cause to support the families and workers??? She is my former neighbor, a 10 year old girl. The whole family is behind the cause. They have 5 kids and home school. They were all down at Walmart yesterday collecting donations and $$. I brought them all hot cocoa. When I went to buy it at Starbucks, the lady started to ring it up (over $30) and then she said,..."it is on me." How nice!!! (that is after she knew I was taking it to the people at Walmart)..."
Betty Jo Bouvier, one of the kindest, sweetest, funniest people I have ever known.
