Trip Report Mothers Day Ruins And Rock Art

[DAA]

Had this trip planned for a long time, but my Jeep was (is) still in the hospital. But my awesome wife let me take her daily driver that she dearly loves and leave early on Mothers Day before she even woke up.

Picked up my friend Alan and we were off for four days in the canyons to look for ruins and rock art.

We arrived in our area of interest and setup a base camp in a really cool spot.

The next morning we put on our packs and headed out for an over nighter out of the packs, ended up being about 25 miles round trip.

Just a bunch of pics of some of the super cool stuff we saw.

Backpacking camp.

This is a really cool “back door” ruin.

Still a lot of 750 year old maize on the floor.

I always like seeing these potsherds that have been laying there so long the soil has eroded away from underneath them.

Lots of large potsherds on this trip.

Lots of pretty rocks too.

Spent the third night back at base camp with awesome views in every direction.

A short timelapse of the stars.

Next day, Wed., time to head home. Stopped at a few attractions along the way.

Cindy's JL. What a plushmobile.

Best rock art of the trip.
