Outing to a road in Carlisle

With Bruce and Jic, on the way to a site we wanted to show Bruce, this was seen from the car:

Here is Bruce showing a white rock in a pile, a common feature of several piles here.

 While Jic stayed on the road talking to the landowner:

Another with quartz:

These things are everywhere around here. I guess I am lucky to live in the area.
