Sooooo today I was told to take a car and explore the park...How sweet is that! Either way today was pretty awesome and I am very tired lol. I did a lot of hiking and driving today. I drank like 5L of water too! (I am still thirsty). So Check 'em out! June 19, 2011

This is the butte that I climbed today! I looked for the tallest one I could find and I climbed all the way to the TOP!

This is a pissed off bull snake...they are pretty intimidating actually...they make a lot of hissing noises!

I had lunch on top of this mountain.

Bull snake prior to being pissed off.

Itch Itch Itch

This guy was right on the side of the road..I was able to get like 10ft away from him...I didnt want to get run over so I stayed about 10ft away lol.

This looked cool. It is at the coal vein trail, basically this clay got fired because a coal vein was on fire and it cooked it.

More from the coal vein trail...that stuff is called clinker..locally

There is a coal vein

This is the first rattle snake I have seen! He was all kinds of squished.

Self explanatory 

This was the trail leading to the place I had lunch.

Again toward my lunch spot.

This is looking off of the Butte that I climbed this morning! It was sooo cool...the pictures definitely do not do it any justice...You could see forever!

More from the Butte!

Where I climbed up

Again, self explanatory...Btw scoria is the same thing as clinker.

My BUTTE!

The neighbor butte.

On top again..if you can't tell I liked the Butte.

That little white car is where I started my expedition to the Butte!
