When we have a flat tire in Island Park .........

 

[kwc]

February 14th … and some guy is riding around on the Hudson River on his jet ski. Sunshine, blue skies, and 50+ degrees today in the snowless Hudson Valley.

You wouldn't want to be a sleepwalker.

Looks like a water collection system for wildlife

 

[SeanIsADesertRat]

That is odd. The road approaching that does not look passable on Google Earth, and topo maps don't show a spring at that location.

Yep, this. Definitely looks like a guzzler.

 

[LarryBoy]

Yep, this. Definitely looks like a guzzler.

Either a guzzler with a metal apron, or if you look at it upside down, something very juvenile indeed.

Not Spring collection toughs....no road needed.

This is actually lava.
Itʻs called reticulite lava and is created during high-fountaining episodes with very frothy lava full of gas bubbles.
Therefore, this reticulite lava is lightweight and easily blown downwind.
It is extremely delicate and crumbles between your fingers, so you must pick it up carefully.
It has sort of a sponge-like appearance which is pretty cool.
I love finding this stuff on my hikes in the backcountry of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes NP.
