City of Rocks specimen. City of Rocks, New Mexico - City of Rocks - Strange Extrusion

I didn't realize how Freudian I must be, but I think I see a ....? From a 1991 trip. [Pete Erwin, 08/12/2000]

[RA: Kids! Shield your eyes! City of Rocks is home to the equally embarrassing Toilet Rock, exhibited in our first book... June 2005 - Tipster Gene Shiau notes that there is an unmanned fee collection post at the entrance, but pay up, because you may be caught once inside the park.]

City of Rocks, New Mexico - Toilet Rock

Wanted to ask you about a New Mexican site called "Toilet Rock". I had heard about it before I moved here two years ago, but none of the locals ever seem to have heard of it. Have I been duped? Is it really here? I figure if anyone knows, it's you. [Matthew Celeskey, 11/25/1997]

[RA: Toilet Rock appears from a distance to be a toilet -- especially beautiful when silhouetted against a sunset. It's in City of Rocks State Park in NM.]
