I need to quote a short story, which I think was in Clarke's Expedition to
Earth, in fact was that story itself. Can anyone confirm that I've got the
right story?

In it, explorers return to Earth after some millennia and find it inhabited
by robots which have evolved to about the level of well, Moonwatcher in
2001. Ah. Actually, that pretty well confirms it for me since there are
quite a few 2001 parallels in the story.

If anyone has a copy handy and can come up with the sentence early on where
the landscape is too weird for the explorers to understand, I'd appreciate
it.
