Vermilion River Bottom (Missing Stone) Revisited Again
December 7, 2014
By October 12 not much had changed. I was still able to walk across the drought-shallow river to photograph this spot. Meager rains hadn’t dislodged the large stone in the depression. Eventually the drought ended and I was no longer able to wade across the river. In time flood waters rushing over the river bottom flaked away the shale from around the depression, and the formation disappeared.
