How Can You Say, NO!

There is much history in this area and it is easy to drive right past it without knowing. A case in point are the number of historical sites along Plamosa Road that aren't even marked.

So our plan was to go and see if we could find a few of these sites and share them with you. First we stopped to get Marvin and Annie.

Look at those cute, sweet faces. How could we leave them behind? Come on Tobby and Nikki, get in.

Can you see the letter "E"?  This was placed here back in the 1940s by men who were in training for the US airforce. They collected rocks and spelled out "Quartzsite" at the base camp where they trained.

 All that's left are the rocks.

Further down the road we found the "Bouse Fisherman" Click on the picture above to read his story.

Try and imagine a tribe of people carefully arranging these stones, hundreds of years ago to tell their story. The white stones are his spear tip and you can easily see his body and leg.

This is Jeep territory and I'm sure they must have thought we were lost driving our truck down this road, truth is they were right. We never did find the abandoned stagecoach station.

Time to hike up this hill and look for an old cistern that was in use just a few years ago. Didn't find it either but we did have a lovely hike ..........................

and this view across the valley.

Another day and we'll take Marvin's ATV down these trails and see what's on the other side.

Until then, safe travels and thanks for stopping by.
