We (Deb, Andrew, and I) went to Chimney Bluffs last weekend. It's a state park about 40 minutes from our house, on Lake Ontario. We had hoped to do some hiking, but unfortunately the trail from one side is straight up a hill and was covered in ice. The alternate route starts through the woods, but less than a 1/4 of a mile in we found there was a "lake" across the trail. So we took what pictures we could from the beach. We have plans to head back there in the late spring-early summer when things have thawed out.These are glacial moraines that have been eroded into fingers, it's the only place like it on Lake Ontario. Moraines are what glaciers leave behind, it's the debris that they have picked up during their slow movements and then (I'm assuming) these ones broke off into Lake Ontario and Chimney Bluffs is what they left behind.
I was having fun playing with my camera, these rocks were so cool!

That picture of the rocks is awesome.
We went hiking up the mountain today. Pretty fun stuff--even kind of warm. At least I didn't have to wear a coat, although I did wear a hat and gloves.
Hope I can see you guys sometime this break! Whatcha doin' after Christmas?
Hi Kim,
Wow, rocks and stones. I love rocks and stones. I enjoyed your description and the pictures. I miss you. Wish you were here! Have fun in MI for Christmas as I know you will!
Love and hugs,
