[Scuttlesoap]

Thought I‘d start of string to put little things of things we didn‘t know, peculiar tidbits, or fun facts…….


I’ll start. Today I learned that we have huge rocks that travel across Death Valley and leave trails behind. Looks like this was first discovered a little less than a century ago, but no one could figure out why…….

99 years later

Apparently, all it takes is some thin ice and a slightly harder than light breeze to do the trick……go figure.

That was a classic mystery as I grew up, it was pretty cool to see the mystery solved. Now if you want to go down another fascinating mystery, check out the Death Velley Germans!
