| no partners | | I got inspired to come back and look for some rock piles after our recent trip to this area a few weeks ago. The recent rains already had the desert a little greener and looking less stale than our last visit, there were several large puddles left behind in the road as well. We started our hike to a breezy 47 degree morning.
We found what we were looking for, plus another pretty dilapidated dwelling in the process. The site was rich in the usual artifacts of pottery sherds and flaked stone, but lacked any notable walls or standing "ruins." However, there was an interesting granary and partial wall just above the site that added some uniqueness to the otherwise pretty standard set of rock piles. We took an extended break at the site and then returned the way we came.
A bit of a busy day on the old Tortilla Road, we saw a couple of vehicles on the road, passed some adventurous hunters, hunting a few feet off the road and encountered several hikers on the way back to the TH. |
