It's my pleasure.<br /><br />Lucy - It's an amazing part of the world, that's for sure. I loved that rock! Don't worry about the comment! If that is the worst thing that happens to us, we're in good shape, right?<br /><br />Leovi - I also loved that rock. I wish I could have put in my backpack and taken it home!<br /><br />ladyfi - It is beautiful and was even more so when it was forested.<br /><br />Robyn - Thanks my friend! We are certainly enjoying all our free time. The tour was my pleasure! I'm getting behind on posts relating to our trips. <br /><br />Stewart - Yes, it is both of those things. Thanks for the nice words Stewart. I know what you mean. If everybody keeps taking stuff, there eventually won't be anything for others to enjoy. Besides, it may seem like a cool thing when they take it home, but out of context, it's not as big a deal.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-13295689422714993382013-11-03T18:20:12.210-08:002013-11-03T18:20:12.210-08:00sage - Thanks!

It makes me happy when people don't steal everything.<br /><br />TheChieftess - Thanks Kathryn! We do our best.<br /><br />The Vegetable Assassin - Thanks! I appreciate that! I suppose I would do better in HS as a teacher than I did as a student.<br /><br />Sallie - My pleasure! I knew about the trail, but had never hiked it before. We were glad we did. Because most of the Indians in the Southwest were hunters/gatherers, they had both summer and winter areas to live in. As a result, they had morteros both in both places.<br /><br />I hope you are right about the ATV riders.

So was the flag. My pleasure to share it with you.<br /><br />Wayne - You are welcome! These particular Indians spent the summer up in these mountains and the winters in the local deserts. We see morteros in both places and I'm sure they were used by the same people. <br /><br />Jenny - I loved that rock! We are out and about and lot right now. I'm glad to hear that you are doing better.<br /><br />Bouncin Barb - We sometimes do see and hear them, but not very often. Thanks so much Barb. Yes, that is ironic.<br /><br />Betsy - We seem to hike in all seasons. We just returned from some great hikes in the desert. The weather was perfect there this time of year. My granny used to complain about people stealing the petrified wood from there about 50 years ago! I'm surprised there is any left!<br /><br />Brian - Thanks Brian!

Nature does bounce back, but it's sad that it will never even be close to the same in our lifetimes. <br /><br />PerthDailyPhoto - We were also very glad. I'm glad you enjoyed the hike (and the absence of sweat).<br /><br />DEZMOND - There are indeed! We saw some deer and there are cougars, coyotes, rabbits and a lot of birds.<br /><br />Alex - We had to be weary of those bees. The morteros are probably anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand plus years old. <br /><br />Sylvia - Thanks Sylvia! Even more amazing to me is that there are still some parts (besides the engine) just sitting around up there after so long. I'm glad you enjoyed the menopause post.<br /><br />Cath.H.C. Photography - Thank you so much! I appreciate it.<br /><br />Robin - I'm sure it wouldn't have seemed like such a long hike if it wasn't so steep. I love seeing morteros and rock art also. It really makes me think about what it was like back then.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-85168531418267590762013-11-01T15:06:19.533-07:002013-11-01T15:06:19.533-07:00❥°º•.¸
