From nose to tip of the tail this little critter was possibly 3"
but no more than 4" long.
Curious deer
I never tire of these views.
One of the more recent mines that we have found -
filled with water.
We came across this great canyon - so pretty.
We drove the length of it to the end than enjoyed it in reverse.
Green and gray with water flowing.
The next canyon over was dry and primarily red -
with no more than a hundred feet separating them.
The most interesting thing in this canyon was the great horned owl.
The light was entirely wrong to photograph it but,
sometimes one must take what is dealt.
Unique mailboxes?
The following day Ian and Sandra planned the outing for the four of us.
Almost immediately we ran into a couple of other vehicles
traveling together.
They were folks familiar with the area and were happy to share
some pictographs with us.
These were so situated that we would never have discovered them on our own.
A hunter on horseback
and
a coyote.
Ruins (and Sandra)
Ian and Sandra stopped here to show us the bedrock mortar.
Do you see it?
Although we searched for more, nothing was found.
This looked like a good spot for petroglyphs or pictographs.
Our search here turned up nothing.
We've developed a pretty good sense of where to look for signs of habitation.
Our success rate has been high
so we were disappointed when this didn't pan out.
Sandra and Ian were told this was a shrine, probably built by a miner.
Several cows were interested in what we were doing there. Vic used bread to entice this one to come nearer.
At this point she decided that she wasn't taking any chances with this character
and she backed off.
Another old adobe structure melting into the ground.
Thanks, Sandra and Ian, for a nice day!
