After securing my now usual foundation stone and two platforms, I made
a conscious effort to build the cairn as high I could. D'oh. It wasn't much fun as I was struggling to reach a goal that would always want "just one more" and could never be good enough. When the seventh stone finally found it's balance, I simultaneously caught myself holding my breath and noticed my use of that illusory formula, struggle+goal=accomplishment. Isn't it funny how we seem to learn the same lessons over and over? 35/40+ 15/15+ |  |

I stopped here to rest during a long drive to Santa Cruz, and was
pleased to find that the cliffside had dropped many flat-sided stones in anticipation of my arrival. It took a few well-timed trips to get the stones over to this location, and I ended up getting soaked. 25/15+ After the hike to the parking lot, I looked down and saw it take a splash. It continued standing strongly as I drove away. A few hours later on my way home I stopped and all the stones had completely washed away.
