while waiting for broken ribs to heal? <BR>
<BR>
For one thing, he doesn't do any backpacking. But ..... that hasn't stopped us from wandering through <BR>
Arizona, Utah and southern Nevada searching for rock art sites (and finding them!)<BR><BR>
We've wandered in a large circle to some of the lesser known Indian ruins, petroglyph and pictograph sites - <BR>
places with names like Tuzigoot, Tonto, Casa Malpais, Besh Bah Gowah, V Bar V, Lyman Lake, Chloride, <BR>
Grapevine Canyon, Valley of Fire, Little Black Mountain, Santa Clara, Nampaweap and Snake Gulch. And a <BR>
couple that we won't name or give directions for. <BR>
<BR>
We also played tourist in Zion, Red Canyon, Pipe Spring and Toroweap. We've seen some really exciting <BR>
and interesting rock art. There is a lot of beautiful country along the Arizona Strip and we've enjoyed camping <BR>
surrounded by the multicolored cliffs. We've even had a few really good wildlife sightings, including a herd of <BR>
desert bighorns in Red Rock Canyon and four condors circling the bridge at Marble Canyon. <BR>
<BR>What next? I think we're heading to Cedar Mesa in southern Utah. There are a lot of canyons to explore there <BR>
that are full of Anasazi ruins. It's the type of country that is fun to get lost in, so we'll give it our best shot. <BR>
<BR>Jim's ribs are getting better, but they still aren't healed. He can hike, and carry a light pack, but still feels it <BR>
every time he rolls over in bed and at the end of a long day. He'll be glad to be able to put the pack on again - <BR>
soon. <BR>
<BR>
The answer to the original question is simple - If you can't do what you intended to do, then you have fun some <BR>
other way. And we have. <BR>
<BR>
Walk softly,<BR>
