I’m really enjoying this… and am amazed at how many unique things you find out there in the “middle of nowhere”.
I always wonder when we find petroglyphs, what the area looked like when they were created? Surely not an desert? Where would they have gotten grain to grind?

The overnights in DVNP approached the mid to low 30's, so not too cold. The biting wind was the issue. A sunny area sheltered from the wind was pure pleasure. You are most welcome.

Vic you may want to get a copy of this book: https://www.amazon.c...e?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a very readable and comprehensive account of paleoclimates, foods, vegetation, water, animals and peoples.
