My usual December camping trip, City of Rocks

Presents!!

Explored Aden Crater, a volcano that erupted ~100,000 years ago. The skeleton of a giant ground sloth was found in a lava tube here with much tissue/skin still intact. He fell in and died about 10,000 years ago after the last ice age. It's currently in the Smithsonian.

Inside the crater, looking at the Organ Mountains
