America California Racetrack Playa

This moment, I'm goin to do a review about a trip to Racetrack Playa for ya.It is located in the northern part of the Panamint Mountains in Death Valley.A great choise for a vacation
destination if you feel bored with just usual spots.It's gorgeous, full of mysteries, ghosts towns and abandoned mines.Why? Well, this place famous for it's moving stones legend. Wow...Yea..it's true..'the Sailing Stones', rocks that mysteriously move across its surface.The sailing stones are a geological phenomenon found in the Racetrack. The stones slowly move across the surface of the playa, leaving a track as they go, without human or animal intervention. They have never been seen or filmed in motion.
Racetrack stones only move once every two or three years and most tracks last for just three or four years. Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks while those with smooth bottoms wander.
Stones sometimes turn over, exposing another edge to the ground and leaving a different-sized track in the stone's wake.
In fact, no one has ever seen a rock move.>.<"
