shiprock!

so we decided to travel off the beaten path to go on an adventure to
see shiprock, a cool rock in northwest new mexico. it is near monument
valley, where all kinds of cool rocks from an old volcanic period
remain today. we usually see shiprock from the airplane when we fly.
it is neat to see it from the ground. you can really see the dikes of
straight-line rock that radiate outward from the main rock. the
largest dike is above and to the left on the picture. shiprock is on
the right of me as you look at the picture. I am happy we came to see
it.
