Indian Cave.

This cave is not far from home. It's down by the river. It's a climb up to it and slippery rocks so we didn't go up there. Phillip took the pic from below. Most of the rocks that were probably closing in the front of it have fallen to the base of the cliff. Phillip said he almost missed it because of the tree growing up in front of the cliff.He'd been past it before but the trees were leafed out then so he didn't see it. I had to go down to see it myself.

This is another cave close to the place we went to last thursday. It is just below the top of a steep hill. If the brush had been leafed out, we would have missed it. Phillip climbed up the slope and I had to zoom in to get this pic of him standing at the front of it. He said the roof and the walls were smoke stained but no sign of chips or pottery. Must have had a low wall in front of it because there were not enough rocks that I could see around that would have made a full one. They may be here but buried in the erosion and fallen sticks and leaves. He didn't do any digging there. Saving this place for a later dig.

I took this from below with only half zoom, so you can see just how close it is to the top. Since there is a kinda trail up to it I think it has been explored quite a few times by hunters. There are hunting /camping sites all around here. Still too cool here for the trees to leaf out but the last snow did make the grass grow. Hunters may have explored, but there were no signs of digging anywhere around. We did find arrowheads here before and come back at times to see what may have washed out. We will have to come back out here after a good rain to see if anything we dug out has cleaned off.

Got to looking out at the latest rocks we have gathered. Now that it has warmed up some, we will have to load up a bunch of them to take down to the river and clean. When it's hot enough to sit with your feet in the river, it's time to clean rocks while you are at it. Kill two birds at once.
