Continuing on our escape from home, we headed west to higher ground and spent three more nights out. The story is now posted to our blog and you can find it here -

Those climbers had old school trad gear, not much different than I used too long ago.

 

We need to get ourselves over to that area again.  

 

The edges of the Tablelands seem to have their share of petroglyphs and signs of habitation. 

Your keen eyes spot things I might stroll right past.

Great reports! I, too, have a wife who likes to wonder off when I turn my back. All things considered, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Andy, yes they did and it looked like gear hanging in our closets too!

 

Yes, the whole area out there looks like it was area well used and where people and culture thrived. It is so much fun to pick up clues and investigate!

 

Thanks for the nice comments! :)

Thanks Richard! And who knows what future investigation may uncover. :)

 

The searches continue.
