NOvember 20-22, 2020 Lyman Lake State Park, Arizona

 71 degrees and sunny.

We walked to then Rattlesnake Point Pueblo this afternoon. You can drive there on a dirt road, but it was a beautiful day so we walked. The ranger said it was 2.5 miles each way, but it ended up being only 4 miles round trip from our campsite. The actual ruin is small, only three rooms. But it was originally 80-90 rooms and home to 15 families. These are the only excavated rooms. It is cool to sit there and know how big it was. A pile of pottery chards and arrow head chips.

The view from the Pueblo. Back then there was no lake, no dam, just the Little Colorado River and the flood plain was dotted with fields of crops. Right before sunset tonight with the new moon in there. I was taking a shower during actual sunset. 

Right after sunset with the moon in the campground. We paddled back across the lake to take a closer look at some petroglyphs I had seen from my boat last time we were out. John in his kayak.

We found them, but there were no more. John above looking for petroglyphs. 

And also this panel.  If is really imagine this looks like a flute player. . ., Nature glyphs, a curly piece of grass, a triangular rock on a triangle rock and this stump looked like owl eyes in person. 

Cool cloud this afternoon- they never hang around till sunset and sunset. 

I finished the masterpiece. It is made from pine needles. The center is an ammonite, the beads are glass and it is stitched with polyester cord. 8 x 7 1/2 x 2 inches. The front and the back.
