As often happens the Kadizzles have driven by Indian ruins unaware many times. For months we have been driving up Sycamore Creek, but today we got out an hiked on the way up to the trailhead. Mrs. Kadizzle was told of an Indian site nearby. Once on a little mesa jutting out into the valley we found a huge site. It is one of the biggest sites Kadizzle has ever come across in the wild. There could have been a hundred rooms. Of course now it is all fallen walls and the outlines of rooms. Mrs. Kadizzle found a money clip there with $26 some ancient must have lost.
After pursuing the site for about an hour we headed back. Heading back to the truck Kadizzle could see what the natives were up to. Down in the valley floor you could see at one time there had been an excellent site for a field. To top off the discovery you see where the stream had been damed and diverted. This was a unique area perfect for growing crops with irrigation. Knowing this site was in the area explain a lot more about other sites we had found nearby.
