Our little band headed up one of the canyons East of Rim Rock yesterday on another great exploration. One of the great things about these trips is we get to see Indian finds in a fairly raw state untouched by hordes of tourist. The Commander found one of the most amazing arrow heads ever discovered. The arrow head was about the size of a dime and the delicacy of the work will never be surpassed. Up the canyon we found a very strange ruin. Apparently dwellings had been built on a steep island precipice that jutted out into the canyon. The amount of rock on the sides of the embankment indicated that there must have been either a great tower on the precipice, or a large number of terraced rooms that spread out from the base and climbed upward. Lord Kadizzle favors the terraced theory. The expedition found several caves that had been occupied with some nice pictographs, and we also found some nice petroglyphs. Three distinct types of pottery were found, black on white, brown on white, and black on red. One unsolved puzzle was something that appeared to be an old orchard. It may have been an Indian orchard, or could have been more modern.
