the making of crater lake

this is crater lake, in the southwest quadrant of purgatory ranch. some say it was made by a violent collision with an offworld object and contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and the large amount of ironstone found here.
still others hold that it was created by 3 men and a boy using a large trackhoe, 2 dumptrucks and a bulldozer, that a dinosaur still lives in the lake (check out the far bank, to the left of the shadow) and that the "ironstone" is petrified dinosaur poop.
i don't know. you choose.

meanwhile, back at the ranch...

the original Blogger, oblivious to the movement it had started, passed its days peacefully in the pond, lunching on amphibians and fish, and an occasional small reptile or two....
