I did [[Chalk Bluffs]]. I was interested in it because I had lived  
for years within a few miles of this interesting feature but had  
never heard of it or gone out there. I think it is notable enough,  
but I think it is a typical new article. The old days are gone, when  
you could start a new article, like [[Colorado]].
