@faizalr@fedia.io It’s stopped in the photo. If it’s moved since I took the photo a decade ago, I couldn’t say for certain, but that seems likely.
@Lojcs@lemm.ee They don’t know for sure that it’s ice, it may just be wind and water. The rocks can be very heavy, so they squash the playa beneath them. Their shapes are irregular so that Ince can form in the gaps underneath them.
@AF0AJ@mastodon.radio I’ve always been concerned that if I visited there I’d never leave. I’ve always been very partial to the place myself, despite it having its own issues. Maybe it’s the large amount of Irish and English in my genetics. Although if I ever flee the country it’s definitely a place I’d consider. I watch a lot of Brit TV shows anyway… 😁
@AF0AJ@mastodon.radio “History” is definitely relative! It means something very different in California and in England. :)
@ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us Yeah, totally missed that up until now. The older I get, the more that happens. 😂
@Geojoek@mastodon.hams.social @kr1st@mastodon.radio Getting out and exploring the hell out of the local area is my usual substitute! Lots of history and interesting stuff to be found most places, even in the US. 😁
@ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us I’m going to assume I’m missing a reference!
@kr1st@mastodon.radio Better get to that before it’s too late! :) Health issues and economics have reduced my getting-out-and-living considerably, so I’m glad I did some of it when it was easier.
@skatem@mstdn.social My grandparents had a lakeside cabin when I was little. It wasn’t quite as scenic but I always loved it… Sounds like you have great memories too!
@W6KME@mastodon.radio Haha, although I sympathize! We used our sleeping pads in the lake, but they weren’t enough to let anyone sleep on them - thankfully!.. On my first trip to Hawaii I fell asleep on a Maui beach and got fried on three sides. For the rest of that week at night I had to sleep only on the unburned (right) side because the others hurt too much! Another dumb lesson learned…
@FrostyTrichs@crazypeople.online We always enjoy it! Our son is off at school in another state so he misses getting to go with us.
