Since the river is totally dry, I decided to take the dogs on their morning hike in the riverbed.

I was surprised how much pumice I kept finding. I started to leave the small pieces, looking only for larger pieces.

Bonus, some Asian clam shells, and this pretty shiny red-brown rock.

Hey neighbor! Is this the kind of pumice you rub your feet with?

If it was larger, yes. I have a larger one somewhere that I use in the shower.
