Mount
Woolsey
Mount Woolsey Wilderness Area is a
very strange and odd place. It is also very remote. It is strange and
odd because all of the rocks are volcanic and are very black. It makes
the whole landscape look very surreal. In places, the whole ground is
black. In other places light grass sets off the black rocks. Hiking is
tough -- there are no trails and the terrain is rugged. Well worth it,
however.

Here are my

is right beside the road. |

This is a
working, functional wind mill (near the road). It is actually pumping
water. |
