no great hurry to disappear among
the rocks, the rock wrens still scolding,
and joined in their scolding by a chipmunk.
This was at 1300 hours- "broad daylight"
We returned to camp, much and a map.
Our poor, tired dogs had remained in
the truck all morning. In the afternoon,
around 1700 hours, I check the traps,
none of which had caught anything.
Then we did some vegetation transects,
sitting on the flat between
rock outcrops #1 and #2. While sitting
on the ground recording Margaret's
data, I noticed a piece of obsidian.
Further search revealed more than
20 pieces, all of which showed some
signs of having been worked, also
a worked piece of chert, and some
very old charcoal- the remains of
an ancient campfire? We have never
seen obsidian in our range before. We
collected a small number of pieces and
the chert. Many deer trails with much
scat in this vicinity. Also a few tin
cans. Could there have been a spring
nearby? We finished the transect as
it was growing dark and cold.
