Even more Clifton

Sorry this has taken 3 posts but if I don't break them up, they take way too long to post and sometimes time out on the connection.  This place was really a neat place to visit and we spent over 5 hours there.

The park ends at the power plant.  All the signage had been washed away but our guide
map showed a set of stone steps used to bring in cargo and take out cotton bales from
the plantation. Seemed very interesting so we were determined to find them.

David heading down the stone steps.  Our efforts paid off!

From the bottom, you can see just how narrow they were.  Can you imagine bringing
a huge hogshead barrel up those?

The waves over the eons have sculpted and carved the limestone.

This huge slab of rock had come off in the recent hurricane.  I'm sure it made
quite the splash.

All those glorious shades of blue!

As we were walking to the next place we most have come too close to
this mama bird's nest.  She came out and acted wounded to draw us away.  If
you zoom in, you can see her colorful tail plumage.
