Preface:Clear Creek Management Area

[Trent Rock]

I got one for you survivalists
There is a place called Clear Creek Management Area
Has anyone been there?

It is a very weird looking place
It looks like something out of The Martian Chronicles or Planet of the Apes

I now know it is called Serpentine terrain
It's mostly a thick, grayish, turquoise, mud/clay
It's smells like sulpher:barf:
I didn't see much growing in the mud part
The rest of the terrain is mostly high desert chaparral type terrain

Isn't the name kinda ironic?

I know I posted this on your other thread - Serpentine is the stuff that asbestos is mined from.

Yikes! Asbestos is bad stuff.
