| PEDESTAL ROCK & KINGS BLUFF MAINTENANCE 11/21/09 | 
| 
		 Arriving  | 
		
		 And getting ready for a little work  | 
		
		 Gloria's new look!  | 
	
| 
		 I guess we will do King's Bluff first  | 
		
		 Loppers and saws used a lot today  | 
		
		 See!  | 
	
| 
		 Water at King's Bluff Falls  | 
		
		 A rail or two missing and a downed pine tree at the falls  | 
		
		 I wouldn't lean over too far!  | 
	
| 
		
		 Us at King's Bluff  | 
		
		
		 ....and here  | 
	|
| 
		 We are glad they have railing here  | 
		||
| 
		
		 Has Gloria seen herself?  | 
		
		
		 Coyote track  | 
	|
| 
		 Nice rock formations  | 
		||
| 
		
		 Conversations  | 
		||
| 
		 One of many pedestals  | 
		
		 Taking our chances on the edge  | 
	|
| 
		 
 
  | 
		||
| 
		 Back to trail maintenance  | 
		
		 It takes teamwork  | 
		
		 ...and a little sawing  | 
	
| 
		
		 This area would slow us down just a bit  | 
		
		 
  | 
	|
| 
		 Watch out for "sharp" saw blades!  | 
		
		 Done with King's Bluff now Pedestal Rocks  | 
	|
| 
		 The center section of Pedestal Rocks will take a chainsaw  | 
		
		 ....we will come back with one  | 
		
		 ...and finish up  | 
	
| 
		
		 Natures birdbath  | 
		||
| 
		 The "Famous Pedestal"  | 
		
		 The "Un-famous Dave"  | 
	|
| 
		 More conversation  | 
		
		 At least this time they are not kissing!  | 
		
		 Mr. Ron  | 
	
| 
		 How do pine trees grow on solid rock?  | 
		
		 More nice rock formations  | 
		
		 ... and Vic the expert rock formation guy  | 
	
| 
		
		 I believe this is a sign to eat lunch  | 
		
		
		 Nothing like eating on a hard rock  | 
	|
| 
		 David and his gourmet lunch spread  | 
		||
| 
		 ....but when you are hungry, it doesn't matter  | 
		
		 Gary likes to eat standing up ....it is easier than having to get up again  | 
		
		 If no one takes your picture ... you take one of yourself  |

| 
		 Dale  | 
		
		 Nobody  | 
		|
| 
		 Dale taking a picture of our new friends from Clarksville  | 
		
		 ...and this is our new friends from Clarksville in a cave  | 
		
		 ...and this is our old friend Terrence  | 
	
| 
		
		 Three guys! No...two guys and that lady again!  | 
	||
| 
		 Vic  | 
		
		 This picture may get Vic in trouble?  | 
		|
| 
		
		 We think this is a squirrel skeleton?  | 
		||
| 
		 We think this is very naughty tree?  | 
		
		 We think this lady looks like the rock in the background? Both have caps on!  | 
	|
| 
		 Making our way on around the Pedestal Rock Loop  | 
		
		 Damage at the Natural Bridge....where's the chainsaw?  | 
		
		 Almost done  | 
	
| 
		 Someone has disappeared or someone has shed their clothes?  | 
		
		 We thought we had lost Lou...but there he is!  | 
		
		 Thanks to all who came and helped. It was a good day, even if it tried to rain on us.  |
