#139263 - 03/27/16 08:39 PM Some ancient habitation sites [Re: Peter_Kaufman]
Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	A grey and slightly cold and snowy start, turned out to be a nice day after all to visit some habitation sites south of me. The amount of work required to build these without modern tools is amazing, plus the transport of the stone to the ledges must have been difficult also. This must have been a good area as there was water present and we saw some deer also, so crops and meat could be obtained Peter Attachments ------ Description: first habitation site ------ ------ Description: view from bottom of canyon ------ Description: some pottery fragments ------ Description: more scenery ------ Description: view of the water ------ Description: small snake enjoying the sun ------ Description: site on a ledge _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Pap you generally don't go into the sites as they are not stable and you don't want to damage them. Also, some are on ledges that would be difficult to get on to with out rock climbing equipment There may have been ladders at one time, Ramkingjc, this is indeed southeast Utah, home of many archeological sites Google Chaco canyon images Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

RamKingJC Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/12/15 Posts: 3085	Thank you Peter. I will check this out. My wife and I are always looking for new places to hike and see. We would both be very excited to see this in person. James _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire."

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2146 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Peter Thank you for the excellent photos. We have spent time around Santa Fe,NM. We did go to some cliff dwellings similar to what you visited. It was many years ago but I think those people were Peyu(sp). _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

W Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/09/16 Posts: 5791 Loc: Central New York	Great experience Peter as always. Hard to believe that those were the lucky that got those caves. The remainder had to fend for themselves seeking safe shelter wherever it was. Seeing that snake tells me you need a Bond Arms Snake Slayer, but you can't have mine.

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	It has been a while since I posted some photos, but I have been busy. We went to Eagle Park yesterday, a remote part of Arches, and explored a new area. A lot of really cool fins and rock formations. I saw a badger, which I had never seen out here before and a really nice Pronghorn on the drive back to town. Good day to do a long hike as the heat is returning later this week Peter Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
