October 20, 2022 Bluff, Utah

 75 and sunny.



The day started with John's computer smoking. It was actually his coffee cup steaming behind his computer. Butler Wash.



A pothole full of rain water for the wildlife. At the mouth of the canyon there was an ancient Navajo sweat lodge.



We hiked to Double Stack Ruins. The top floor of ruins. You can't get to it unless you have ropes or can fly. The ground floor ruins.



On the bottom left is the ground floor and the upper right the upper ruin. There were a bunch of pictograph hands on the walls of the lower ruin. 



Close up of the hand pictographs. The native Americans put paint on their hands and slapped the walls.  Terry Tempest Williams called it Anasazi applause. The petroglyphs were harder to see. The top left are two spots where the ground corn with some faint petroglyphs with them, a zigzag and a figure,  another couple figures and this red circle was on a rock in the wash.



John hanging out in the shade where we had lunch. Side view of the ruins.



Another alcove up the canyon that did not have ruins in it. Flowers and fall leaves. 



Back in camp I am making progress on the masterpiece. Sunset in our front yard.


Sunset and trees in our front yard.
