| no partners | | I like going to Perry Mesa because it's pretty close and there is plenty of stuff to see if you just look around. By now I've been to all the obvious places so today I just picked a random spot I hadn't been to before: a low ridge heading NE from Bloody Basin Road with a return down Bishop Creek.
Near the road there were a couple concentrations of broken pottery, a faint glyph, and a small buried habitation site (no walls just an overgrown low mound with some aligned stones. I continued up and along the ridge which was easy walking with nice views and I found a few odd sherds along the way.
I found Bishop Creek to be very sandy, so not much to find there and I did a sort of random walk sampling the low creek side shelves as well as the creek bottom. There were a few cuts with nice dark stone walls on both sides and I figured if these were undecorated I probably wouldn't see any petroglyphs along Bishop Creek. To my surprise I did notice some near the end and a closer look showed several of the faces there were decorated. Possibly I'd missed some higher up.
Anyway, not a bad short day trip as I wait for summer to go away. |
