What Lies Beneath

[dogghr]

You know I’ve always stressed getting down and observing the smallest of detail that is a myriad of plants and animals both macro and microscopic that are inclusive in the life in every aspect of our habitat.
Now what we can’t see is more fascinating. My brother and I as young kids explored many a cave. Probably wasn’t too safe but that was before helicopter parenting and we weren’t allowed in the house but feeding times thru the day.
In the 1800s a fellow w a carbide light crawled a 100 yds thru a slim notch and discovered this place not far from me. Of course as we toured I could only think how such affected my forests and fields that would lay above it.
Nature is pretty amazing. And he was a tough SOB. Something for you to think about on way to your farm tomorrow.

This is the vertical wall I’m at which I’m looking. That wall before the one of the great upheavals of the Appalachian mountains was actually the ceiling of this cave and the rock was twisted over to become the wall. WV was once an ancient sedimentary sea and marine fossils are easily found any where.

And this most interesting to me. The deposits on the wall to the right are Iron. The middle is Magnesium, and the left Calcium. Your soils of foodplots ? Similar ingredients?

I bet you find some sweetgums growing down there somewhere. I will come spray them for you.

Native...you have a twisted sense of humor in a good way. Love it! Guarantee you if that were underneath my property there would be sweetgums popping up.

As I've always said, on the day that the last man on earth takes his final breath, there will be a coyote with a coon treed in a sweetgum!

I love your pictures. I toured Luray Caverns once and found those underground formations to be very beautiful and stunning in appearance. If there's potash and potassium down there you'd have about all the ingredients you need to grow ladino clover under Marijuana lights. With all of that mineral you could grow Boone and Crockett bucks no problem, and the antlers would probably look like real stalagmites. BTW, my belief is that the world is only 6000 years old, and those fossils come from the flood.

Outside of Deadwood, SD, there is a tiny gold mine called the Broken Boot. It's open for tours now, and as you walk through, they give you a lesson on what you're seeing. There were rich deposits of copper, sulfur, limestone, and all kinds of other stuff. All I could think of is how badly I wanted a few buckets of that to throw on my garden.
