Solar Showers, and Indian sites.

Yesterday the solar shower at our campsite was so hot you could hardly stand it.  However, today it could have been warmer.  Our campground has the largest solar facility of any camp ground in the U.S.   By some magic the LED lights went out last night in the middle of a crucial moment on the thunder seat.  Left in the dark Kadizzle had to fish around the floor to find his flashlight in order to complete his office work.

Today started with an exploratory ride up the mountain on the motorcycle.  When Kadizzle returned he announced to The Commander that he had found an Indian site a short ways after the motorcycle trail ended.  So Kadizzle and The Commander headed about three miles up the mountain side to check the site out.  It looked like a watermelon and a peanut riding together.

The picture below shows some of the pot shards at the Indian Site. 

The road is treacherous and steep.  At one point The Commander had to dismount and walk.  The site had a lot of pottery shards and The Commander found a nice arrow head made from obsidian.  On the way up there was a six hundred acre area fenced in with ten foot chain link fence. Apparently it was a wildlife study area to determine how much javelina and big horn sheep eat.
