When I was a child 6-8 years of age - like long, long ago, my father took us camping. It was in a woodland (possibly forest - dim memory here) of deciduous trees (broad leaf trees).
The thing that sticks out the most to me are the rocks.
They were pillars of stone, kind of a fine sand stone - along the lines of a 220 grit sand paper, so fine to be silky smooth. They were dark gray to near black. the real thing that sticks out in my mind is that this cylinders or pillars of stone had 6 sides each. I remember because I insisted that they were stop sign shaped and my step mother at the time told me that stop signs had 8 sides, while these stones had 6.
Further these stones would seer off across their diameter fairly easily making a 6 sided plate.
These were not perfect hexagonal shapes.
Anyway theses rock pillars rested side by side, making an uneven surface.
Sort of like the Giant's Causeway:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant%27s_Causeway at sea level, the beach forming a 'tiled floor' of upright pillars.
However in my memory there was no sea.
I am hoping somebody knows of other places where this sort of formation is found.
