Can see digging into rock when there are very few trees in evidence. OBTW I read yesterday ( yay NHK) that parts of Japan received over 100 centimeters of snow Monday into Tuesday, one place east of Sapporo had 129 centimeters plop down TB.
ReplyDeleteNylon12 - The amount of digging out rock in this region was amazing.
