Jasper Forest(top pic)---Hundreds of petrified logs, once buried in the bluff, have been freed by erosion and lay scattered across the valley. In pic 2 is a log still encased in the sandstone, we saw it as we drove by. Pic 3
shows The Agate Bridge. In 1911, the Park Service put supports under the log, which were replaced by th cement to keep the log from breaking apart. Today, the Park Service allows nature to take it's course which means the bridge would no longer be there. The fourth pic shows exactly that, the large logs, seen on top of the hills form a sort of pedestal under them. However over time the pedestal erodes sending the logs down the hill.
