| no partners | | After a couple months of "too hot" and a few weeks of some annoying virus I was determined to get out and do something. Waiting for a coolish day to go up to Perry Mesa I eventually gave up (110deg in PHX it would have to be) and made it an early start. 62deg when leaving the car at 6AM. Felt great.
I walked a bit of canyon edge I hadn't visited before - I think my HAZ petro buddy had casually mentioned to me there was stuff to find there. Indeed I found some "new" (for me) petroglyphs then continued up some more familiar canyons and ending at a nice petroglyph site I'd been to several times before.
One odd thing: I was prepared (and hoping) to hit burned countryside as shown on the Inciweb map for the Skeleton Fire https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-i ... leton-fire, but I didn't see any burn! Maybe I read the map wrong or maybe the map just shows the boundary they were defending.
Didn't really matter as the grass was low and it was pretty easy to find pottery and a small ruin anyway. I also found a broken metate fragment so it was a nice open mesa walk.
Back to the car at 11:15, 101deg, but nice to get out.
