Technology triumphs over Indians but barely

Yesterday, Lord Kadizzle, and The Commander set out to find some Indian petroglyphs. The Indians make them, and hide them. It is our job to find them. Being a good American that solves all problems with the most up to date technology, I first found the site on my laptop super duper computer program that gives the GPS location. There was one major flaw in the process. I asked Uncle Ned "Is this where we look?". Ned looked at the map where I had the computer pointer and said yes. So I wrote down a series of coordinates and off we went. The Commander and I hiked a mile and a half up the most rugged boulder strewn stream you can imagine. Since we are old hands at this we both gradually realized something was wrong. There were not suitable Indian blackboards in the valley. Indians always use the same rock to make petroglyphs. The Commander got the brilliant idea that we should call Uncle Ned on the cell phone and recheck our information. From the bottom of the canyon we were lucky enough to reach Ned. After I gave Ned the coordinates, he told me we were fifty miles away from the right location. Luckily we do not work for Nasa, we would be on Mars looking for the moon. It turned out Ned and I were not using the same data system. Once we were on the same page Ned reported we had passed the site by about a mile and a half.

In frustration we went backwards clear to the truck where we started. On the way we searched every possible location. Nothing turned up. I got to the truck before the Commander and noticed perfect Indian message board downstream from where I was. In the meantime the Commander called Ned again and Ned gave a better description of what we should be looking for. Shortly we found the site. Of course it was within a couple hundred yards of where we go out of the truck. However, it was down stream, not up stream. If we had used intuition instead of technology, the trip would have taken one hour instead of three. The Indians were lucky they did not have GPS to guide them, or the White Man would have won sooner. Now it is easier to see how the terrorist do so well in Iraq against our technology.

Please look at the picture carefully. What you are seeing may be a petroglyph of a saber tooth tiger. This is a very rare petroglyph and archeologists are very puzzled why it is here. In our travels we have seen hundreds of sites, none has ever contained this glyph.
