Three twisted and bent trees grown from saplings in the strong coastal winds cling to the rocks. They bend like this on a clear, sunny day or a stormy day with the gales blowing.

Frozen in time since the dinosaurs’ age
A story to tell in a single page
Written in stone formed from sandy shore
Of a Cretaceous Sea that is no more
Their impression, their orientation, providing clues
Of ancient environments, long passed views
Uplift and movement have delivered you here
To a place and time where we are near
A story of life, of death, and final rest
Written in stone to stand time’s test

Old friends. Many miles and rocky paths we have traveled. We have seen landscapes hundreds of millions of years in the making.
We have traveled through sun scorched rock, icy slopes, and glassy shards. I have doffed you to protect you from stream crossings, and worn you through them when I could not.
Over decades, your utility has barely faded. My capacity to test your limits has been reduced.
How many more miles have we?
