IN SEARCH OF AGUA FRIA INDIAN RUINS

Early Sunday morning in search for Indian ruins and maybe some petroglyph.   

 

 

 

Got my quad all loaded ready to go searching. 

 

A look back,

 

Heading toward Perry Mesa. 

 

      You know me I always got to stop and take pictures of corral

 

and windmills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Still some standing water.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In rock piles like this is where you will find petroglyph.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's left of and old abandoned mining camp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think black and white looks better 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the roads a little rough. 

 

 

 

 

You see it 

 

 

My first one 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

              When you really start looking there everywhere.

 

Were they board?

 

 

 

 

This is what you have to walk through to find them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Some of them go into such detail and others make stick figures.

 

 

 

 

Here's the stick figure. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Lizards and snakes???   What do you think?  Your guess is as good as mine.

 

 

 

                          Rock remains of there village.

           This is the view from there village.   They lived on the edge.

                                          Talk about living on the edge!

                                        Broken pottery is everywhere.

 

 

                 This is the end of my adventure, hope you enjoyed it
                         57 miles on the quad and 5 mile hike.
