Stone or Stoned Forest?

Sometimes I wonder if Satan slipped God some acid during the seven days of creation.

That would give explanation to the zebra, platypus and Kunming’s Stone Forest looks. Or as I call it, the Stoned Forest.

This natural park is one of the trippiest places I’ve seen, looking like a life size version of the Silly Sand Kit I had in the Sixties.

Full of treacherous steps, crevices and rock formations, it’s not the place to wear stiletto heels. But of course, that’s what many of the Chinese Fashionistas wore.

We climbed up and down nature’s version of a Stair Master, waking up hibernating butt muscles. Some of the stairs wound through nooks and crannies smaller than you’d find on an English muffin.

We felt like we were starring in our own personal version of 127 hours.

Luckily, we didn’t have to remove any of our limbs. Only our hats.  .

That person in the Chinese hat is me. I had to turn my head sideways to fit through some of the narrow passage ways.
