Phillip and I hiked up to the top of this ridge. Lots of rocks as you can see. We walked all over looking for dwelling places and petroglyphs. We did find where some Indians had lived back in the boulders but most of them must have lived in the foothills below. We did find pottery shards, chips and 4 good arrowheads and quite a lot of broken ones. Too many cows, deer, elk and pigs up here to step all over stuff. I found one good arrowhead just a couple of inches from being stepped on by a cow. Interesting stuff up here.
We found only a couple of rocks that had this orange moss on them. Why just two and what makes them any different to have moss when there were many other rocks of the same material up there.
This is a type of cholla cacti called a stag horn. There are a number of different kinds of stag horns. Some I have posted before. All in all it was a great day. Not too hot as the sky clouded up before we got back to the rig. It was along day for me and quite a hike as well. Finally getting my breathing and strength back.
Granny.
