I had a chance to get back to High Tor for some exploring and meditating on sacred rock piles.

Below is a picture I took in the winter of 2008. Pepper is sitting on the tree with his winter coat on. An orb next to him.

I also found a large pile of rubble that covered a couple of Earth Chakras pictured below
