ERRATIC ROCK

A Text:
"Found this guy hanging out at Erratic Rock tonight. He's doing well and settling right in. It's almost like he's from Oregon or something..."


This text and picture came from the Mission Leader in the ward David is serving in. His wife Anne and his mission companion are there on the rock with them. The Elders usually play wallyball with them on Friday nights but it got cancelled. Instead they took them to Erratic Rock really quick :).

Erratic Rock Historical Site - Sheridan,OR
This 90-ton rock was deposited during an Ice Age flood. It floated over 500 miles in an iceberg 12,000 to 17,000 years ago,  by way of the Columbia River. When the ice melted, the rock was left behind. This is the largest glacial erratic found in the Willamette Valley. It is a type of rock not normally found in Oregon because it came from the Northern Rocky Mountains. Visitors at Erratic Rock can look out across the vast landscape and image the huge amount of water that filled the Willamette Valley during the Ice Age Floods.

David's shirt says "Not all Super Heros wear capes :)"  We sent it to him in his "Greenie Box" last week.
