Every time I go by that place I try to figure out how it came by that name. All I can think of I the person who named it must of been on acid. Anybody else see it?

Not ME!! Well.... one time maybe, sorta.... but, that day "I" was on acid!

Hell, I don't even know which ROCK they are talking about! I think we BOTH should do some "googling!"

But.... what a KEWL name! :wink:

[Karnajj]

I know which rock it is, I just can't see the ship!

Maybe they were watching the submarine races when they named it.

It was a favorite pass time for my husband and me as kids. :wink:

The name "Shiprock" derives from the peak's resemblance to an enormous 19th-century clipper ship

How put the Ship in Shiprock, NM. ?

Well It Wasn't Acid it was the natural Psychedelic Cactus Peyote, those Navajo's around the Area aren't going to take Chemicals when U got the Real Deal. U take enough Peyote and get on that Rock and it would be Just like A Ship Out of here 8) :idea:

Heaven offers nothing that a Mercenary Soul can Desire /C.S. Lewis. 8) :idea:

unfortunately, you are not going to see the resemblance from the road! you have to be looking at it from the west, not the east! will try to find the pictures we took back in the '80's when on a exploration trip out there!

I drove by the Devils Tower out in S. Dakota. You know the one from Close Encounters. Impressive.
