We see this in a lot of our notes around here. And we had a discussion this am in the office. One suggestion was that maybe they were describing a trap stone ala Bear Grylls varity. IIRC they are typically a slab type stone but not of any specific type....
any other ideas?
part of this discussion was me telling them were one was in the vicinity of our work and maybe they could look at it. I think that one is a limestone- really good notches on east side nothing on the south...
and forgive me in advance if this has been discussed before.... I'd hate revisit a topic- it's just not done around here, ya know....:whistle:
What a place to hang out! I learn something every day.
thanks- that's a great link.
with the amount of basalt around Oregon, is the term "trap rock" used around your locale in general conversation, or do people just refer to it as "basalt"?
I don't hear "trap" in everyday conversation but see it frequently in GLO notes.
Another term used frequently in the old notes was chemise brush. Which I have deduced to mean bitterbrush or what is commonly called buck brush (a favorite of mule deer).
Mr. "COW"
It IS a good place for some of us, but I don't think you would like it all that much.
Most of the vegetation on the best side of oregon (west of the cascades) isn't suitable for COWS - just deer
