Now I shall have to check out this "Cairn" and see its significance - perhaps the two are related?<br />Great Photos n great info - thanks :)LilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-5659215289797749652011-09-14T01:18:02.226-07:002011-09-14T01:18:02.226-07:00It's good to hear you are feeling better DJan,...It's good to hear you are feeling better DJan, it sounds like the antibiotics wiped out the bronchitis. <br /><br />Even with the haze those are some beautiful views.

I am sorry to hear about the fires.<br /><br />I have been wondering what the name of the stacks of rocks was for weeks. I knew it at one time, but had forgotten it.

Love the cairns- have seen them all around the world and find them to be tributes to the struggle.
