Explorer Tom Blaebeck is a burnt mound that might have been the scene of a prehistoric love affair gone terribly wrong. Perhaps one partner got too hot under the collar and lit up the whole hillside by accident. It’s prehistoric, so no witnesses, just a pile of scorched earth waiting for your imagination to fill in the gaps. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Explorer Tom Blae Beck is a prehistoric burnt mound, which sounds like a bad cooking disaster from ten thousand years ago. I reckon its name really means 'The Spot Where We Left The Toasting Rack On'. It’s basically a giant charcoal briquette that got tired of being a fire pit. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
