In this short travel narration, the speaker reflects nostalgically on past journeys while driving a van to a famous sandstone outcrop that resembles a dragon's spine. The speaker remarks on the locals' fascination with the formation, the transformative power of wind and erosion on the rock, and muses about the lingering presence of a dinosaur-like shape within the stone. The piece blends personal travel memories with a philosophical wonder about how we perceive and assign meaning to natural landscapes.

Many years of wind and carving the sandstone into something my brain refuses to accept as just rock. Is the dinosaur still there? Well, one can always wonder.
