Thank you. Very nice! It is amazing how many unique places of significant area exist in DVNP. I'm not sure that one could run out of new places to visit and see evidence of human predecessors there so long ago

Stimulates the imagination to speculate on what life might have been like then. Hydration management must have been mastered and I suspect we have permanently lost a lot of that knowledge of daily life in the desert. Only takes failure to pass it down to the next generation one time.

Great stuff, Ski! Wonderful to see a familiar place through your photos and wonderful storytelling.
Yesterday morning we left DV from just down canyon from where you were. Small world!

Would a fine tooth comb work on the rock nettle?

I thought I recognized some of the scenery. I also must have just missed you. I left the springs the day before Thanksgiving. There are new destinations on my agenda for future trips though. Those petros are amazing.
