Indian Zip Code

For years the Kadizzles have been visiting hundreds of Indian ruins in the southwest.  Recently we purchased  a detailed book on the area we are currently in.  The book is much more scientific than what we normally delve into.  The sheer number of sites around here is amazing.  It has become politically correct for people in the know not to reveal the exact location of all the sites.  In a way this makes it kind of fun to find them. The good thing about this system is that only hard core people will find the sites, and that leaves the vandals out.  So many of these sites have been ruined by vandals.  Many of the vandals were early settlers.


Kadizzle has been doing some serious map work to extrapolate where these sites are.  Kadizzle has figured a system of coordinates that is made by mapping known points on the map, such as stream intersections.  If time permits we should head back to the wilderness and try to find some of the more difficult sites.

Rain has been pouring into the desert, and the flowers should be in their full glory soon. Tomorrow we head to Globe on a charity mission for The Forest Service. The Kadizzles will be the drivers for a volunteer work crew in Six Shooter Canyon. The volunteers will be cleaning up the recreation sites.
